Ebonite Matrix TPS 2 Bowling Ball

(4 reviews) Write a Review
Versatility is the name of the game. The Matrix TPS II, with its reduced-volume loading of particles, responds to polishing and scuffing to provide strong hook potential for any style of player. Add the high-powered Trimax II core and you have the ability to conquer most any lane, from medium to heavy oil conditions. Carrydown or no carrydown, TPS II's got game.

    Great reving ball.Saves well over 90% of energy for back ends & is very easy to control with a very smooth even arc.Both balls get thru burnt out heads better than most.Ball works best away from the dry wall found out near 1st arrow where it snaps very hard.Flat 10s means you need to resurface it.15.lb drilled 3/4 pos.side 2pm at 2 1/2" out pin.16lb. drilled 1/2 pos side 1pm 2" out pin.This ball does track in rather fast as do most particle balls(20-30 games).A very strong 9 rating!

    OVERALL: Really good ball for a variety of shots. I carried best when I played the second arrow (more of a down and in shot) but it still carried well when I moved to 4th arrow. The ball had a tendency to be a little jumpy when it started to dry out, but i didnt get the ball for dry lanes. I think this ball will be real good sanded or polished. I havent decided what Im goin to keep it at. I wish I would of got this earlier because it would of sone great at this one tournament I had.

    this ball is the most unpredictable ball i've ever seen. the first week or two it's good but when you get any oil in this ball it'll go like a spare ball. if you think that this will be like the other matrix balls think again. this ball will make you think that you suck as a bowler. i have a friend thats using this ball and his average has dropped by 60 pins. if you own this ball i am truly sorry. i will never trust another matrix untill i see a definite improvement. this ball should be illegal in all 50 states. in closing i would like to say one thing."damn you ebonite!" oh yeah and one more thing it really does suck!!!!! i give it 2 thumbs down

    I SHOULDNT COMPLAIN TOO MUCH I WAS GIVEN THIS BALL. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE IT ONE PIN WAS BECAUSE THIS SITE WONT LET YOU GO ANY LOWER. I SEE WHY THIS BALL IS SOOOOOO AFRAID OF THE POCKET AND WONT CARRY WHEN IT GETS THERE. ONE TIME YOU FEEL LIKE ROBERT SMITH THE NEXT BALL YOU FEEL LIKE THE OLD LADY IN THE MIXED LEAGUE WITH THE BACK UP BALL. UP THE BACK OF THE BALL THIS THING GOES ALMOST DED STRAIGHT BUT IF YOU GIVE IT A LITTLE TURN IT WILL BEND 40 BOARDS ONE TIME AND 15 THE NEXT. WAS THINKING OF GETTING AN ADRENALINE BUT I THINK ILL BUY A GROOVE REACTIVE OR MAYBE A SCOUT INSTEAD
