Can someone tell me who manufacturers Pyramid bowling balls?
I have been looking at a Force Gold Pearl.
Its a limited U.S. release made for Korea.

They’re made in China.
Don’t know by who. Probably VIA though. They make lots of stuff.
Maybe someone who works there comes here?

Someone at my local center uses exclusively Pyramid equipment and is extremely successful with it.
A family member tried one, and found that it required very frequent surface retouching to remain consistent. It lane shined very quickly, and as soon as it did performance really dropped off. Had to return it to 2000 abralon every 9 games or so to maintain the same reaction. It was stamped Made in China.

My pathogen has tons and tons of games...no performance drop off.
Hate to admit that it's a gem especially in the low to mid solid symmetrical category.
-
Thought they were made in Korea, not China. As to why they are Korea exclusives also.
-
I have had a few pyramids and they all perform well, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase one

The Chosen Path orange/smoke we had definitely said Made in China on it.

Thanks guys, I went ahead and purchased one. :)

You're supposed to do that as a matter of course. After minimal games, synthetic lane surfaces bring the surface of most resin balls to the 5000-5500 grit level.
The test that showed this was posted here several years ago.

I understand that surface adjustments are needed to keep a ball at a similar finish, however every 9 games is a bit much. I have had bowling balls go entire seasons having never being retouched and never losing reaction. Cleaning my stuff with a quality cleaner after every league session tends to keep things working optimally for me.

they get dirty pretty easy, not so much surface adjustment. I am going to rebuy green and orange pathogen, should have never sold them. They seem to roll a lot like old reactives from years back.
