Design Intent
The Black Dragon sets a new standard for bowlers with higher speeds who struggle to achieve consistent ball motion. Its innovative Dragon core, featuring a 2.48 RG, .054 differential, and .018 mass bias strength, delivers exceptional power and performance typically found in higher-priced options. Paired with the Scorch coverstock, this ball offers unmatched strength and control, making it a dependable choice for speed-dominant players. Designed for consistent and predictable strong motion, the Black Dragon is the perfect go-to ball for assessing lane conditions with confidence.
During our testing, balanced bowlers enjoyed the Black Dragon for its strength and performance on heavy oil lanes, they could stay in it longer than other strong balls in league play. The Scorch cover, combined with the power of the Dragon core, is engineered for versatility, enabling bowlers to adapt to various angles as lanes transition. This design ensures they can stay with their first ball out of the bag even on fresh oil, without needing to switch.
The Dragon bowling ball offers a unique advantage for rev-dominant bowlers, thanks to its thoughtfully designed core. Many rev-dominate players struggle with excessive forward motion down lane when using traditional asymmetrical bowling balls, which often feature overly pronounced core asymmetry, such as large protruding discs. The Dragon’s Asymmetrical Core is engineered to solve this problem. By incorporating a design that mirrors the overall shape of symmetrical cores while offering a larger intermediate differential, it delivers the perfect balance. Bowlers can now achieve exceptional performance on heavy oil conditions without losing control or predictability.
