Description: The Torrid Elite features a strong symmetrical core designed for medium to light oil lane conditions. The Torrid Elite falls under our EZ USE category, meaning it will perform perfectly on your typical house shot during normal league or tournament play. Perfect for a wide range of conditions, the purple/blue/gold pearl Torrid Elite will certainly turn some heads.

COMMENTS
Likes: Like to go to the Torrid Elite when the Yeti is to strong. Ball gives a very predictable midlane read and is very smooth off the breakpoint without to much jump. Ball will appeal to the bowlers who bowl on Med to Med-Hvy House shots. Will be testing the Torrid Elite on some PBA shots and Team USA shots over the summer and will relay the results to everyone.
Dislikes: None as of yet.

COMMENTS
Likes: Drilled this Elite pin up to compliment my original Elite. Very happy with the length and shape this gives me. Have great coverage now between the Affair and my 2 Elites. Having this pin up gives me the length I was missing between my Affair and original Elite.

This ball is absolutely fantastic for drier lane conditions. It is one of the cleanest covers I have ever thrown and, unlike some other manufacturer's bowling balls, this one will not make a crazy hard left turn down lane. The even rolling continuation of this ball is truly unique. On drier lane conditions, this ball is just great. If you are looking for a ball for drier lanes that doesn't have uncontrollable angularity at a great price, this is the one for you. The layout I have on this ball is 65 x 5.25 x 45

Torrid Elite drilled 55 x 3 3/4 x 30
This ball is very versatile when the lanes break down. You can play any part of the lane and still be able to get the ball back up to the pocket.
