Seismic Desperado Bowling Ball

(1 review) Write a Review
Specifically designed to combat tournament short patterns where power must be fuzed with control, the Desperado brings a power house engine wrapped in a mild mannered cover. The modified Insignia asymmetric core gives you a smooth yet strong roll, while the Cruise Control Pearl Urethane coverstock gives smoothness through the transitions never letting the ball over-react in the dry. Urethane is back, talking softly but carrying a big stick!

    SPECS: Drilled pin over Ring, for pics look at Dave300 pics of the Desperado I bought it from him just moved the thumb slightly to make it my span. Very Slight polish CHILTON:Modified Cheetah same length with a heavier volume so it holds up during the tourney. Couldnt get a look with my usual suspects, went to the Desperado Slowed up the speed and played a small swing in the drier portion of the lane, 17 out to 12 or so and had a great look. Desperado actually got me back into the cut line, the last game I made bad choices and didnt fix it fast enough. Ball jumped off the dry not as hard as Resin but more than a normal urethane. It was forgiving on misses left and right. Hit like a Freight train. Also the continuation is amazing just keeps rolling all the way through the deck. THS SABRE LANES: With old wood lanes and a normal THS I tried Desperado again just to see what it would give me for a look. The House has older well kept wood lanes lots of friction in the track though. I found that I could play anywhere from straight up ten to a little five board swing outside of ten. Carry was very good, ball gave pull room left and miss room right as long as I didnt throw it at mach 1. HIT/CARRY/ROLL: Very good hit and carry amzing power from a urethane ball it never quits once it picks up the roll just keeps on trucking into the pins and all the way through them. Actually I have left a few nine pins with it thats how hard it drives. Roll is tremendous as mentioned earlier in the section, no quit at all. Smooth and consistent plus it carries like dream. OVERALL: I like the ball, it gives me a new Dimension on sorter dry patterns when my ball speed and hand sometimes hinder my ability, instead of breaking my wrist I just go to this and I can stay more in my comfort zone. It has good movement as long as I remeber to through it like Urethane NOT like a Reactive ball, good hitting power and a spot in my bag for quite awhile
