Looking for most aggressive ball on the market
« on: August 14, 2015, 03:59:43 PM »
I am going to try team USA trials  and was wondering what us one of the most aggressive ball on the market. Not worrying about layout. I know it is a tough and loaded question
My arsenal: Game breaker 2, Gamebreaker 2 (hybrid overseas release), Game breaker 2 gold, Forza, revolt vengeance, rocket.  Getting a red window legend pearl and a used guru(but trying a sarge easter grip)  Had the code of honor and loved it but it is starting to crack on me.

The strongest on the market based on BTM numbers IIRC is the Guru Mighty (62 or 63 rating).  After that, there is the Original Mastermind, Hyper Cell, AMF Pure and Motiv Jackal to name a few.

In my experience pure aggressive can lead to a very condition specific ball.  If I was looking for something super aggressive I think I would look at the Paradox.  Not quite as high a number as a couple of others, but looks like it might have a better core shell matchup.

Tommyboy, that would be the Guru Master, it has the highest BTM hook rating.

Thanks for all the quick responses. I never really liked really heavy oil bowling balls because they tend to get too much over under for me. I heard lots of good things about the paradox and it does seem like a more versatile ball then some of the other higher end equipment . Also how similar are the guru and the guru master?

Go with the Paradox, I normally wouldn't buy something that strong, but its an amazing piece
I wouldn't have believed unless I saw it with my own eyes
It carrys everything from everywhere is what 1 guy described it to me before I got it.
 ball of the year candidate IMO

Guru Master is the Strongest ball on the market. 7 boards more than the Guru. And the Paradox is an awesome piece. Versatile drillingwise as well. But so is the Master. I dont think you'd lose either way you when you made your decision.

I have 2 team mates that love their hypercell
however, both have said the cover isnt lasting, seems to be losing reaction after some cover touch ups
1 of them bought another one cause he did so well in a few tournaments with it
maybe its oil soaked, I dont know, he said he had it baked and it isnt the same anymore

That brings up the other problem with super aggressive shells.  I have never seen any super aggressive solids from any company that didn't lose a significant portion of their reaction rather quickly.

I tend to throw higher end balls in a rejuvenator/detox twice as much as my mid range balls. Those high end solids really soak up oil quickly. I also do a lot more surface prep on them as well.

It's definitely a lot of maintenance but well worth it for getting the proper performance on a higher volumn shot. 

And for what it's worth, I am a big fan of the Hyper Cell Solid.

For what it's worth, I've had surprising longevity with my Brunswick Mastermind. I've had it for 6+ months of consistent use, with no apparent loss in reaction. It has been impressive, to say the least. While I prefer Storm/Rotos pearl asyms to Brunswick, I might stick to Brunswick for solid asyms in the future.

Then again, maybe I just got lucky.
