This ball is a beautiful mix of purple colors, and the green logos look great in contrast. The Gremlin was much more predictable at the breakpoint than I expected considering the high RG value. I think this is due to the asymmetric core and the new cover stock. The Gremlin covered more boards than I expected but remained controllable. This ball has a very good price point and has already created a buzz at the shop. I would put this ball above my Hustle M&M, but below my Harsh Reality pearl in total hook. I have used this ball at a couple of bowling centers now and what I’m seeing is, as the shot gets worse the ball gets better. The Gremlin is a ball I think I can keep in my hand for a long period before going to something else. The lighter hits seem to move pins around a bit, which is also fun to watch. I have very good expectations about this ball. Summary: The Gremlin is a very attractive benchmark ball. This ball is forgiving versatile. The Gremlin is a performance ball at a very good price point. Glenn Wendel Sidewinders Pro Shop Storm Pro Shop Staff gwendel@comcast.net www.stormbowling.com

The Gremlin’s modified core simply is amazing. I was able to try this ball on the fresh and the burn and it gave me a great look. The ball on the fresh, I was able to play a little further right around 7-8 board at the arrows. The ball definitely started picking up a touch sooner than I expected but the lanes this summer have been playing with a bit more friction than last summer. Now I was able to jump back on the same lanes at the end of the night after the league and I was blown away with the versatility of this ball. My first handful of shots I was rolling the ball around 15 at the arrows out to about 5 and the ball just ripped off the spot and continued through the pins. Moving a little more left I tried to throw around 20 at the arrows to keep it a little tighter and a handful of shots I missed in gave me some good mix strikes. But the ones that seemed to get to the 12-14 board area on the lane came back high flush.
