Beast out the bag first
Swag is at the Apex with the APEX!! This ball is high performance and will hook hook hook! I love using it on fresh oil or house shot first out the bag! Slower bowlers will really see the aggressiveness of this ball it has the teeth to eat the front of the lanes and destroy the backend and the pocket leaving you with no doubts of strikes and 300s!! Speed bowlers can throw the Apex with authority and it will also destroy the pocket! So if your ready to be at the Apex of your game get the SWAG APEX SOLID!!

Offers a unique look, and is very smooth and controllable
PAP - 3 3/4” right, 1/2” up; Drilled 50 x 4 x 30 I was bowling on a typical house shot, medium oil. The lane had been used during the day. I’m more speed dominant, throwing about 15.5mph, with a medium rev rate. I typically play down-and-in, targeting between 5 and 15, depending on lane condition. On this day, I also used the Fusion Hybrid (drilled the same as the Apex Solid) and Fusion Solid (drilled 50 x 3 1/4 x 30). On this particular shot, the Apex Solid gave me the “slowest” reaction of the three balls, as I needed to reduce my speed more in order to get the reaction I wanted. It tended to react on the early part of the lane, with not much backend - “urethane-ish” in a way. I’d consider that the lack of backend motion could have been due to carry-down or my not being rev/speed balanced. Of the 3 balls, the Apex Solid covered the fewest overall boards. It was the most controllable reaction of the three, and on this particular shot it may have been better for a higher rev bowler. After I finished bowling I let a two-hander throw it for a few shots on the next lane. I’d describe the look of his shot as “round” and “smooth” - the reaction was both predictable and controllable. It looked super-good in his hands.

Heavy oil with smooth shape
40/2.5/50 Heavy oil ball with continuation through the pins. I drilled this ball to read the lane earlier than others in my bag and with a lighter backend reaction because a lot of what I have hooks too much in the back. It does exactly that. In the fresh/heavier oil it reads about mid lane and then has a smooth roll down lane to the pocket. This ball plays well during league for me in games 1 and 2. I love the teal color with the bright green logo. Definitely a controllable piece when down lane needs less reaction off the spot.

Absolute Control
The ball is a great compliment to its shiny brother. This is drilled 60x4x30 and what can I say other than "wow". This ball hits like a truck. With this being a solid cover, this ball reads the lanes a little earlier. The fronts are no problem and the mids are read with ease! This ball has a smooth arcing type shape to it. For me it likes the straighter angles. The Apex Solid is that perfect control piece in which it doesn't try to do too much and you know what its going to do every time it hits the lanes! It reminds me of a urethane type ball with how smooth the reaction is down lane. This ball is great on the fresh and would also make a great transition piece when things start to get a little used up. This ball has great continuation through the pins. Add this to your bag and you will fall in love!
