The Mission 1.0 core design offers dynamic properties that all bowlers look for, Medium RG levels, Medium high differential with a strong intermediate (Mass Bias) potential. With our new cover, XL1200, we have worked very hard with our R & D Department in order to bring to market a cover that not only performs at a high level, but is able to maintain performance longer in the environments that we experience today.

This procedure yields better performance, for a longer period of time.

I've had a few weeks of bowling with the Mission now, and I think I can offer more information now.First,let me say that this ball really doesn't hook as much as I was expecting.(not necessarily a bad thing,covers about 4-5 more boards than my Playmaker, and a few boards less than my Rogue Cell)As I stated in my last post, I had the ball drilled with the #1 drilling on the instruction sheet for a long and strong reaction.The Mission goes longer than I was expecting,develops a good midlane roll,and has a very angular backend reaction.what impresses me about this ball is the pin carry. I carry slop that I shouldn't with this ball. It keeps the pins nice and low, and carries the corners well.Overall, I would say that the reaction is like a Playmaker on steroids, and while it isn't quite what I was expecting it to be, I am still happy with this purchase.

I cannot say enough good things about the MISSION..this ball is very versatile. I have three different MISSION's with three different layouts and they all perform. Pin up, pin down, pin out, it doesn't make a difference they will all strike and they will all strike a lot!

I first threw the MISSION pin up on the USBC white pattern, I averaged 244 over the first 15 games of the tournament(Bacardi Classic-Cleveland). I added a little clean and dull to the surface so that it would grip the lanes a hair sooner and this ball gave me the WORLD!!

An excellent purchase if you are looking for one ball that can do it all!

I haven't had good luck with any Ebonite ball yet, but I drilled this one after watching Jack Nelson win 2 senior high roller events in one week ( one where he knocked me out in the quarter finals ).  

I drilled this one pin under the ring finger at 4.25 inches to PAP, no extra hole.  Ball was a winner right out of the bag.  Strong heavy roll with smooth continuous move to the pocket.  Seems like a great control ball on flatter conditions, that still hase good hitting power.

LANE CONDITION





House Oil




 



COMMENTS







Likes: I use this ball as my "go to ball" as oil is carried down the lane.  I cuts though the oil mercifully and reacts well.



Dislikes: It's too much ball for my first game. Works better as oil is carried down the lane.

COMMENTS



Likes: I was very excited to try the mission. i had always wanted one. especially after i watch a youth bowler who only averaged a 140 improve his average to 200 in just one season with this ball. i finally got one month. and im very disappointed. not in the ball but myself. i cant believe it took me two years to get such an outstanding ball. i havent been this impressed since the cell. but anyways. i lay the ball across the 14 board and it travels out 6-8 and if i mess up and push it out it reads the pattern so well that it comes back. and if i pull it just a little it holds. last night, my first time throwing it in league i post my second highest series of the season with 789. 245, 244, 300. a few ten pins and a weird 4,7,9,10 got me good but i think ill do very well with this ball. i feel like i will improve my average with this ball. i currently average 222. hopefully it will help me establish a 230 benchmark. great ball. more than impressed
