Forza SS

4.8Read Reviews

Engineering a bowling ball to provide both incredible versatility and loads of hook potential is a tall order.  Balls like this are rare, but the Forza SS delivers in a big way!  It is very smooth and strong.  Designed for medium oil, it will come into play on a wide variety of lane conditions.

To create this special ball motion, we brought back one of EJ Tackett’s favorite MOTIV® cores - the Sigma™.  With a low RG, higher differential, and compact design, the Sigma™ core powers the Forza SS down the lane with impressive motion.  

We complemented the Sigma™ core with new Helix™ HFS (High Friction Solid) Reactive cover stock.  This cover has been developed specifically for this release.  Several cover stocks were tested, but this new technology gets the Forza SS firing on all cylinders. 

There is probably not one bowler that wouldn’t appreciate the performance of the Forza SS.  It is unusual to have a ball hook this much and still provide outstanding continuation.  It will certainly be most beneficial on medium to medium-heavy oil conditions where you need a ball that hooks in the oil and continues through the backend of the lane.

    Forza SS

    I purchased this Forza SS a couple of years ago. I have had mixed results with it. For my reaction I am looking for, it doesn’t perform like I want. But, under certain lane conditions it works great. In league my average is 193- 200. I would prefer a reactive resin cover stock.

    Great Ball!

    I love this ball - it is the first ball out of my bag. Besides looking great this is a really versatile ball. Performs best on medium oil but I can adjust my shot and still use on heavy oil. It's got a nice smooth motion and forgiving when I miss my mark. If I throw out too far it still has enough juice to get back to the pocket, but if I miss inside it doesn't over hook and stays in the pocket. I tend to miss my mark often so this ball is perfect for me!
