- Pyramid Path Rising Bowling Ball

great ball :D

Excellent STARTER bowling ball. Curves well and I received many compliments on the beauty of it. I call mine the Silver Surfer. I’ve only had mine for a few weeks and I’ve already bowled a couple of 200+ games. Good to start with before you move into better more expensive balls.

Very happy with this bowling ball. The first time I used it I scored 10 pins over my average. Has a real nice hook, I had more strikes in 3 games than I had in 6 prior games. Love this ball.

Overall I think this is a great ball for people who are beginning to bowl with reactive balls. However, I have had considerable trouble getting this ball to hook properly, and the oil pattern on the ball following a throw is not smooth or always predictable. There are several lines of oil emanating from a single point on the ball instead of one solid ring. I have bowled with other reactive balls and did not have this happen. Of course, I am not going to say that this is because of the ball. Maybe the drilling was not quite right, or maybe I'm not throwing a hook right. Or maybe I did not purchase an out-of-the-box condition ball as I intended. Either way, my pro shop claimed to have drilled it for a decent hook but the ball really skids through the breakpoint and has considerable trouble finding traction. My flare seems to be somewhere between 4 and 6 boards for most throws. One last point. The out-of-box cover is claimed to be 1500 grit abralon on the website, but mine is 2000 grit. I don't know enough about this to determine if this is the reason for my lack of reaction. Maybe it is. I will have the pro shop look into it. Hope this helps and good luck bowling!

Bought this ball for my girlfriend for her first ball. At time of purchase I was wary of the reviews for the purple/steel blue color, but my girl really wanted that color, and I am very satisfied with my Pyramid Antidote, so I pulled the trigger on the 10 pounder. Ball was at my door 3 days later and it turns out she loves the color, so my only concern was thus put at ease. Brought it to the lanes even though it wasnt drilled yet. I throw a 15 pound ball and ive adopted a 2 hand release at about 375rpm ~13mph so I decided I could easily throw a 10 without any holes. Grabbed it for a pin up CG flared out released around board 5 towards middle arrow. Skidded straight and very neatly moved back into the pocket for a strike. My buddies were making fun of me using my girlfriends ball, but the joke was on them!! Path Rising has a great, dependable movement, and at $75, im thinking about adding one of these pearls to my bag!

Very nice ball!>

Let me preface this by saying if you want a "standard" hook that rips from left to right to pocket, you won't want to go here. That said, most of you *able* to bowl that way won't be looking here anyway. This is a great ball for people just starting out, or people who don't want a ton of hook but still maintain the weight and power that comes with a hooking ball. Plastic balls and house balls will bounce off pins and are great for spares and kids, but if you want to upgrade your game you're going to need something with force behind it -- thus hooking balls or balls with a weighted center. For me, I've never liked going from left to right to pocket, or the standard shot. It just feels boring to me and too reliant on oil conditions. If a lane is oily, you need to orient several whole arrows, often 20-30 boards. For this ball, you're going to want to be close to center. Not working? Go farther right. Too much hook? Farther left. But you're only really gonna work in that 5-15 board layout. I also enjoy this ball because it's a good versatile ball - as in you aren't locked out of picking up spares unless you perfect your wrist motion. For me, I sometimes give a bit of hook still for the 10 pin, but this won't curve enough to negate my shot unless I'm really not trying. I like that. All in all, this is a ball that does what I need it to do. Just make sure you know what you need it to do as well and you'll be happy.

Haven't used yet, getting it drilled next week. But it's beautiful!

Great looking ball
