Color: Black/Red Coverstock: Alchemy Hybrid Weight Block: Recon Factory Finish: 3000 Grit LSS Flare Potential: Low Radius of Gyration (RG): 2.59 Differential (Diff): 0.025 The urethane Combat Tank is unique. It features a hybrid Alchemy™ cover and the Recon™ weight block, which has never been used before to drive a MOTIV® urethane ball. One of the rarest compositions in the history of bowling, Alchemy™ Hybrid is a unique urethane. Pearl urethane is often too weak and clean for the viscous modern oils. Solid urethane shells are most common, but their strength in the front of the lane makes them difficult to use without fresh oil in the heads. The Alchemy™ Hybrid cover offers easier length and greater continuation without sacrificing that silky smooth urethane motion. Never before used in a MOTIV® urethane ball, the Recon™ weight block provides a higher RG and more differential than the Gear™ V2 used in the Tank™ Rampage. The benefit is slightly more length with more down lane continuation. While the Combat Tank™ features a box finish of 3000 Grit LSS to compliment the hybrid technology, surface adjustments will make a huge difference in performance. Power Gel® Gloss will maximize length and a more aggressive sanded finish will provide more hook and a smoother motion.

    With a cleaner core and cover combination, this ball allows me to throw it on a variety of shots, from short patterns to low volume house shots. Being a bit later with a little more downlane motion, I find that it gives me a little more room for error than the Rampage on harder shots as I tend to miss outside. It also creates a different entry angle to the pocket compared to the Rampage. Anytime I need to be throwing urethane, between this and the Rampage I have a great one-two punch.

    Layout: 110x3 1/4x55 Using speed and accuracy, I decided to try a ball that gives me continuation without sacrificing a ball that wouldn't hit the pocket with power. the Alchemy Hybrid cover gives me the overall length that I wanted and with a layout that takes the majority of the lane to rev up, this Recon weight block hits like a MAC truck!! This core/hybrid cover gives me the length I need and it has an aggressive flip on the back end. I can play on heavy oil and fire it up 2nd arrow or I can play inside on a fresh house shot with this beast. Absolutely love this ball and recommend this because it's a urethane with length and a weight block that hits with continuation as it hits the pocket.
