At first this ball was great and I had the best of both worlds: 1. I could put it outside and it would crush the pocket everytime and 2. If I pulled it inside it would hang and crush the pocket.  My 2nd week I shot 680 with this ball, I am 17, and I have only been bowling for 5 years.

After about 6 weeks the ball wasn't hooking anymore.  My brother told me to use a scotch brite pad on it.  That works for a set but before you roll another set you have to scratch it up again.

I then only used it on dry lanes.  I used the new Ebonite ball renewer on my Contender and it has worked great for me since.  I tried the ball renewer on my ER but after about 5 weeks it terded out on me again.

2 weeks ago screwing off before Thursday night league I let my teammate bowl a game with my ER.  He bowled a 220 his 1st game and asked if he could use it that night.  He ended up rolling 660 with it, which was great considering his 192 average.

The next night he had league and I was subbing.  He asked if he could use it, so I let him.  He rolled 670 with it that night.  The next week on our league he kept rambling on about how good he was bowling.  He shot 662 with it and I only had 653 on my 201 average.

The next week I had heard from one of my friends who bowls with my teammate on Friday night that my teammate said I sucked and he was better than me.  I didn't let him use my ball that night and he shot 483 with his Super Power.  After we were done he wanted to know why I didn't let him use my ball.  I told him that I heard that he thought he was better than me and that I sucked.  He babbled on and said that he only said that he beat me in the brackets and that he had a higher set.

I have the better average and am way better than him so I let him use my ball the next week because he said that he was considering buying it from me.  He had the first 8 and the 9th he had a solid 10 pin and another solid 10 pin the last ball in the 10th.  He picked them up and ended with a 278.  His set that night was a 787.  

He told me that he would buy the ball for $200.  He brought cash the next week and bought it.  I had bought the ball brand new off Ebay for $129 with shipping so I wasn't losing anything plus the ball had a crack along the left finger.

With my money I am going to buy a Track Animal so I will soon post what I think about the Animal.

I will start by saying i wasn't a big fan of the Trauma series.  But the ER was a pretty damn good ball.  When i first got this ball...i couldn't control the thing at all....no matter what line i threw...it was always on the nose.   later when she got broke in a little....she was great....a nice hard snap to the pocket and destroyed the rack.  I shot a 290 game at state in junior league a couple years ago with this ball.  I later donated it to a local junior bowler who absoultely loves it.  Overall review...7 out of 10!!

Best benchmark ball ever goes smooth throught the heads then all of a sudden just makes a u turn at the pocket.  I got this ball for free but it is a blem it has a 7inch pin.  The layout is the cg in the palm and the pin kicked all the way out but this ball is very good shot high series with it for 4 games 936 awsome ball wish they still made it.

I use to love my Trauma ER.  Only ball that I own that is not made by Track.  However it sits at home now cause it started cracking out from the pin in multiple directions.

I know many people really had trouble with this ball.  I will say that next to the Absolute Inferno, this is my favorite ball.  I sadly cannot throw it anymore because to my knowledge the core of the ball is cracked.  I threw my first 300 with this ball, and I must say when I hit the pocket the pins flew everywhere.  If you can find one definitely drill it up, I don't think you will be disappointed here.

Oh and by the way if you read one of my reviews, and you don't see anything technical like RG or Hook Potential, it is because I don't believe the average bowler knows much about any of that.  I like to write so everyone can understand, just thought I'd say that if anyone was wondering.  Good Bowling!!!!

This ball is awesome. I bring it to all my tournaments no matter what. Once the lanes are nice and burnt up, or if i can't happen to find a line. Out comes the er. Straight up 10, never fails. This ball has saved me multiple times, and it's one of the best balls i have ever thrown. I give it 9/10

This ball doesnt hook that much for me. I used to use it for spares. But whenever i use this ball, i would throw it VERY slow, around 15 mph. I usually throw, 20-30 mph, so 15 mph is RLY slow, lol. This ball is alright, I would give it a 7.5/10

COMMENTS



Likes: Very good medium/ to medium heavy shot, I have two balls one with a rico layout and the second with a modified rico layout.

Reads the mid lane, very well a strong mid lane roll with a smooth arch into the pocket.

Ball needs oil within the first 30 to 35 feet, if not then the ball loses energy and will result in various leaves.

Old ball but still completes with the newer equipment. 



Dislikes: 

 None
