Hero

(2 reviews) Write a Review
HERO™ features a symmetric core design with a medium to high radius of gyration (RG) for greater length combined with a moderate differential to allow the HERO mid-lane skid with a strong backend reaction. The HERO is wrapped with the aggressive CADZ™ 1203 reactive cover stock for superior length, backend reaction and hitting power. While the HERO can be sanded or polished for high scores on a wide variety of lane conditions, it is best used on Medium lane conditions based on the factory finish.

    I used this ball in a tournament the other day. I can tell you that this ball is a awsome ball for short oil. The pattern was about 35ft. Dry outside with some oil inside but not alot. I have mine drilled 3 7/8 x 3 7/8. Pin is under the RF and the CG is about a 1/4 inche below Grip Center. The lanes started out dry so the Hero was the first ball I went to. This ball is very predictable and will not jump on you like others. This balls rolls extremely smooth through the heads even though the heads were dry to start out with. If you want a comparasion to a big company ball there were alot of people using the V2 Dry. This ball in my opinion carried alot better then the V2 dry. Do not be afraid to buy a Circle Athletic product they are very good. I have bought every ball with the exception of the Mega Idol because it would just overlap. Thanks Paul for all of you help, Great job Circle Team.

    I was looking for a low price ball to replace my aged Track Stomp and I found myself at the used ball rack at my local pro shop. Found this very unusual ball sitting there and saw it only had 6 games on it and then I checked the price, $110 drilling included and the new interchangeable thumb. Consulted the manager, who was the previous owner, and he wasn't very happy with how it performed, he said he never could get enough backend with it. I researched the ball and found it listed at $185 and realized how great a deal I would get. I wanted a ball that had a very smooth hook and I got that and more. This is the first ball I've thrown that just smacks the 7 and 10 pins down. It throws some pins straight up and body slams both those trouble pins. I'm still figuring the ball out, where it carries the best. The Hero is listed as a medium oil ball but it can definitely work well on a drier shot, too, it's what I bought it for. I recommend this ball to anyone looking for something sm
