Turbo X

I had a turbo urethane back in the day. Quit bowling as Turbo X came out. I have only bowled 3 games with it and I lost sleep anxious for the league to start. I shaped it over the second arrow. I could hit on it. Just have to make sure I keep my speed up. With this ball, I have to imagine myself being a gun slinger. I have the confidence that big scores are coming my way.

The Turbo X is back. What can be said about this iconic bowling ball. With an overhaul to the construction; this ball provides that same motion on the lanes in the current environment. Out of box this ball provides excellent predictable motion and is ideal for medium/lighter oil; typically house shot conditions. At 1500 grit and 2.517 RG, it gets thru the front really nice giving you a skid/flip motion, storing its energy for the backend. I found that straighter angles worked best for this ball. Don’t be afraid to alter the surface. I would think at 1000 grit, the ball could substitute as a benchmark piece. Pick one up today and enjoy this iconic Ebonite ball.

Many, many moons ago I was bowling in a US Open qualifier. Circa 1992. I was wrenching on my favorite Blue Hammer and could barely get it to wrinkle. A gentleman on the pair next to me was throwing the first ever Reactive bowling ball, the Ebonite Turbo X. Long story short, he won the tournament by a lot, and everyone was scrambling to buy a Turbo X. I drilled the new version recently and it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces. It is very clean through the fronts and mids and has a strong rounded motion down lane. Much like the 1992 version, it strikes a lot. It passes the eye test. I like it

The Turbo X is a great addition to my bag due to the out of box surface of 1500 SiaAir finished with Factory Compound this ball is great for medium/lighter oil. I have used this ball on a shorter pattern and was able to have it glide through the oil and make a predictable and strong movement to the pocket. With the box finish the ball is very clean through the heads with a strong motion to the pocket. I did not own the original Turbo but this one is a great solid to add to my bag that provides length and finish and a cover that can be adjusted for earlier traction.

This bowling ball is much stronger than the original. I am very surprised how much down lane motion it has. An absolutely treat in your bag
