Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: The new Origin EX is different than any ball I have, but in a good way. I rolled the Origin EX at box finish and the 2000 finish look is deceiving. This ball did not react too soon and had a nice move when it got to the break point. This ball rolled equally good in the oil as well as in the friction. I expected a hook monster from the look, but I got a ball with predictability and hit when my Level is not enough or gives up on the back end. This ball has the hit that I love on my original Origin. I do not understand why I don’t see more people using the original around here. They are missing out! I think EX will sell better due to the dull surface even if I’m not sold on the color of the ball. I do understand the color blend was chosen for the performance target. Bowlers need to understand the Origin EX is not another hook in a box but has a purpose of control when you want a dull ball on higher friction lanes. The Origin EX is stronger than my Hustle Xray but much weaker than my Hyperdrive. Summary: This ball is a dull control ball for high friction lanes. The predictability and carry are very good. The Origin EX should be a ball that keeps you out of trouble on demanding conditions. Glenn Wendel Storm Pro Shop Staff gwendel@comcast.net www.stormbowling.com
