I have to agree, they did change the weightblock densities but they do equal the same, but awesome coverstock!!!  Insane ball, just wow

BEWARE A STORM IS ABOUT TO STRIKE, AND CHICKS DIG THE TRIP 4!!!


True that. Threw a buddies today for one game, and finished with a 279.. Front 9 9/X.. Which wasn;t a bad addition to the series I threw with the Jolt Pearl today.

For those of you who think core numbers are the same the core is the same are wrong. I'm not sure if they changed the core but it is very possible to achieve the same core numbers with modified or even a different core.

And the other way around, it is easy to change the numbers with the same core, by adding or subtracting.

I don't think they really changed the core, just the weight block.

The basic core shape was left alone, but the corners have been rounded a little. The Reactor cover is much cleaner than the EOX cover, thus creating the "skid / flip" reaction

Well, whatever actual changes they made, the reaction of the two balls is like night and day. The original Paradigm picked up the midlane much more quickly and was smoother through the backend. The Domination pushes further and is much harder off the break. If your arsenal has room for two great pearl bowling balls, pick up both. Despite the close numbers, you'll definitely see reaction differences between these two beasts.

Why are they charging as much for this ball as the Paradigm even though it has just the regular Reactor cover instead of the epoxy cover?

Just imagine...one game...unfitting ball and miss your high game by one strike!

Imagine when you get one that fits!

The original I heard was pretty good for some!

REgards,

PS that reactor stuff IS awesome!

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..
