Pyramid Path Rising Bowling Ball

It has a nice blue look and is a solid starter ball for a good price.

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.

I am a beginner bowler, have no idea what I am doing, but eager to learn as I LOVE it and just joined a league. Me and my boyfriend got this exact same ball in different colors and it bowls great for both of us after a week. I was bowling 9-10lb house balls, I got this in 11lb and its really wonderful. He was bowling 11-12 house balls and got a 13lb for starting which he really loves too. I will say, based on what you want to do with it, work with your pro shop to get it drilled correctly and you too will have your first favorite bowling ball. Based on how he throws his, it has a solid sharp hook at the end which he is getting used to but loves and mine has a more subtle arched hook which works great for me. I can also throw it straight if I need to based on my positioning. Just make sure you tell your pro shop if you want to hook or throw it straight. From my experience this first week using it, it is a subtle hook which is honestly perfect for learning. Either way, it is LIGHTYEARS ahead of house balls and so much better for my wrist as I am a massage therapist and take special care of my body mechanics on the daily.

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!

Love it!

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!

I am a stroker. Old school. Like Earl Anthony in the 70s old school. I need some hook, but not tons of it. Most reactive resin bowling balls openly advertise how much hook they can generate, and I had a ball like that once. I simply cannot bowl like that, so I went out looking for a ball that a stroker in his late 50s can handle. Well, here you go. My ball driller put the middle finger hole right over the pin, and I was off to the races. I can even get those dang 7 pins (10 for you righties) most of the time without a spare ball. The only bad thing is, it's made in China. If that bothers you, there are probably others made elsewhere to buy, but this one works.

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.

Great looking ball

Très belle balle merci beaucoup
