Seismic Raging Bull Bowling Ball

(3 reviews) Write a Review
The high revving, high flaring HORNcore engine wrapped with the very aggressive AgRS solid reactive coverstock, is the biggest hooking ball we have produced to date. The Raging bull is the perfect choice for longer and heavier oil conditions.

    Layed out 45 x 4 1/2 x 25 This ball gets throught the heads and has a nice smooth arc throught the pins. The Raging Bull is the earliest mover in the Bull line but most smoothest and pradictable. Due to heavier oil in my area i took the surface down to 500ab and added polish to give it a little more lenght. Again the Seismic balls are great with surface changes allowign to fine tune each ball to what you want. Great ball if you liek the 18-8 line. little video sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBIOl...7k5Bw4ncZrAS1w

    SPECS: 70X4X40 1000 Abralon surface Finally used this monster enough to post something of a review on it. Shark Pattern: I grabbed Raging Bull and wanted to give it a try on a Heavier pattern. Raging Bull was almost to much for the shark. Playing 22 out to about ten with my hand backed out of the ball. Raging Bull was running back and hitting hi flush break point was just about at 43 feet very strong move off the spot even with all the volume on the pattern. Moved right and played straighter trying to work the out of bounds part of the pattern and was very surprised. Playing 17 out 8 and the Raging Bull was still flying off the spot the volume to the right didn't even slow it down if I missed right. Very Impressed for a pattern that for me has always played kind of tight Raging Bull opened it up and made it far more playable. Motion:Surprisingly angular for the surface grit just goes left off the spot. Never quits rolling all the way through the deck. Comparison: To the Critical theory (CT) drilled pin under bridge mb swung two inches from thumb OOB Surface. CT is earlier and more angular off the spot. Raging Bull is later and a bit smoother. I would consider both balls to be angular the CT a bit more so than the Raging Bull. I found the Raging Bull to be more predictable, off the spot than the CT. The CT was almost to strong and angular. Both pieces handle oil volume about the same. Comparison: RED Taboo, Drilled pin over bridge surface at 1000. Again both balls are angular and off the spot I found the Raging Bull to be a little longer before the break point than the Red Taboo. Both handled oil very similarly I think the Raging Bull carried a little better and again was more consistent shot after shot. HIT/CARRY: Just like the RBC the Raging Bull just shreds the rack shot after shot. Keeps pins low on the deck and moves them around very well. Messengers are plenty. OVERALL: I imagined this ball to be a little smoother than how it turned out, I wasn't quite ready for the amount of hook potential this ball had but I am pleasantly surprised. I like the angularity yet consistent quality of the roll seems to take the best aspects of the Requiem and AfterMath and combined them into one ball. IMO Raging Bull is one of the most under rated oil balls on the market. Having thrown both the Critical Theory and Raging Bull next to each other I have to say Raging Bull gives a much better look no question. So if you are looking for a oil ball step outstide the Normal selection and Try the Raging Bull!!

    The Raging Bull is a strong, medium-heavy/heavy oil ball. Even throwing polish on top of the factory surface, it still handles alot of oil. It gets through the heads with ease, good strong midlane, and continuing through the backend. Have thrown the Raging Bull on a wide variety of sport patterns, TOC, World Championship, Shark, US Open, and the long patterns of the WTBA. The RB handled each and everyone with great ease. I was able to play the lanes where nobody else could. Here's a link to a video showcasing 2 Raging Bulls, and a Raging Bull Charged on a ths. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SXqkDIbKAc Two Raging Bulls were drilled, with one having Valentino's Snake Oil applied to the factory surface. The Raging Bull Charged, was also filmed to show the difference in reaction of all three balls. All shots were filmed in succession of one another, leaving in the good with the bad. In my opinion they all compliment each other out on the lanes. All three are smooth rolling pieces that are easy to read and make adjustments lateral, or just ball down from one another. Layouts were: RB #1 55° x 4" x 45° RB #2 50° x 3 3/4" x 60° RBC 60° x 4" x 45°
