Columbia Reaction Roll!

Phenomenal, hook all the way down the lane, including the backend if thrown on a heavy oil league shot.

Of course there are better choices for Flat oil conditions!

REgards,

PS before The Reaction Roll came out tied for earliest was the Brunswick Pro Zone Azure.  Not as much backend as the Roll but a great one!

I had a Columbia Power Surge. You could see the mica particles in the purple coverstock. The little studs started grabbing as soon as the ball hit the lane---very early revving.

If you just want to know what the earliest hooking ball is or was, hands down it has to be the visionary midnight scorcher.....particle over a straight urethane base---no reactive resin in the cover----with an extremely high (.069) differential core.  Of course in my experiments  with my spinner the few years I have had one, I find that going to really low grits ...I have gone as low as 12 grit and everywhere between that and less than .05 micron finish and even drier lane balls at low grits will be very early in wanting to do it's thing....of course a heavier oil ball like the scorcher will do more of it when it does do it's thing compared to most balls.

Are you talking about all time or on the market now? Earliest I've ever seen was an Ebonite Tombstone. Earliest now? IMO, AMF Incinerate.

Your friend could wait for the Hyper Cell and then just drill it/change surface to match what he wants.  Or, he could find something like a Storm Invasion which had a very strong R3X solid cover on it.

If your friend is a full-roller, is he aware of the different full-roller layouts?  Check out J Mac's reply in this topic:

Surface on a lot of different choices will work easily.  Most box finishes today don't go below 1500grit
