How could we make the Max Thrill line even better?  We asked EJ Tackett because he loves both the Max Thrill Solid and Pearl.  He said, “As much as I use the Max Thrills, I see a gap between the Pearl and the Solid that I really want to see filled".  That’s why we created the Max Thrill Hybrid, designed to fill that sweet spot.  After trying it out, EJ commented, "This ball is going to be great for me as a step down from my Venom Shock.  I can’t wait to add it to my bag.”  Level up YOUR game with the new Max Thrill Hybrid.

Halogen Symmetrical

The Max Thrill line is all about giving you serious value without sacrificing performance.  The Halogen core has been a game-changer. It’s a lightbulb design, simple but effective. High rg (2.55) and low differential (.037) meaning easy length and tight flare rings – that’s stored energy, ready to explode.

Turmoil XP3 Hybrid

The Turmoil XP3 Hybrid is the new hybrid coverstock that bridges the gap with speed, fitting perfectly between the Pearl and Solid. This new Turmoil XP3 Hybrid gives more traction than the Max Thrill Pearl while offering more down lane motion than the Max Thrill Solid. Bottom line: This new Max Thrill Hybrid is built for those who need performance and value.  You’re getting more for your money, no compromises.

When to Use

  • Speed Dominant

    For bowlers whose speed sometimes overwhelms their rev rate, the Max Thrill Hybrid will truly only be ideal in very high friction environments.  For speed dominant bowlers unable to use the super clean Max Thrill Pearl, this new hybrid offering should give more traction while still offering plenty of pop down lane.

  • Balanced

    Balanced bowlers who compete in second shifts or on high friction surfaces will find the Max Thrill Hybrid to be a benchmark piece for those scenarios.  The Max Thrill Hybrid offers a predictable and strong motion down lane for balanced bowlers in higher friction environments.

  • Rev Dominant

    For rev dominant bowlers, the Max Thrills are an absolute must.  One of the reasons this ball was developed was because EJ Tackett uses the Max Thrills so much and felt like there was too large a gap between the pearl and solid.  When the greatest in the world asks for it, we deliver.

    Thrill review

    I recently switched to the Thrill and have been very happy with the results. It is less aggressive and easier to control my shot. I have begun to bowl over 200 again with improved consistency. I totally recommend the this ball!

    Bottom of the chart. Top of the score sheet!

    For the value this ball can’t be beat. It might be listed on the lower performance side of the ball chart but I had 0 issues getting this ball to swing and control the lanes. It has become by go to benchmark ball. Layout I used was 55 x 5 1/2 x 35. 300 first game of the league season and an 802 series to boot. Don’t be afraid to get multiple of these balls and use some different layouts.
