The Flux core (2.57 RG / .015 differential) paired with the Frixion M7 pearl cover merges a weaker core matched to a stronger shell. This allows the cover to do the heavy lifting. You get a smoother, more controllable motion that doesn’t surprise you down-lane. It’s deliberate. It’s weaponized. Control wins tournaments. And the Shadow Tank is a must-have weapon in every tournament bag.
We engineered the new Frixion M7 Pearl MCP cover to read earlier and slower than the previous M6 found on the Tank Rampage Pearl, which means less jump and more predictability. This is the most urethane-like MCP ball yet. And paired with Duramax Additive technology, the Shadow Tank will hold its surface longer than anything prior. When the lanes get tricky, this ball stays in play.
Most speed dominant bowlers are able to use stronger balls earlier than their competitors, but in cases where there is just too much wet/dry on the lane or the oil pattern is quite short, the Shadow Tank will come in handy. Additionally, the Duramax additive means that if a speed dominant bowler needs to add surface to their Shadow Tank, it will stay duller longer than other balls in their bag. This can come in handy for speed dominant bowlers using MCP coverstocks on challenging patterns.
For balanced bowlers, the Tank series is a tool for exceedingly difficult patterns and fresh oil. Short to moderate length patterns where control is of the utmost importance are ideal for balanced bowlers looking to use the Shadow Tank. When shallow angles and control are what the pattern demands, the Shadow Tank is a critical tool in the balanced bowler’s toolbox.
Most likely, rev dominant players are the ones who will benefit the most from the Shadow Tank. The high rev rate to speed ratio makes a low diff ball that doesn’t absorb much oil a great option where balanced and speed dominant bowlers may not see enough ball motion. When there is just too much down lane motion, rev dominant players will usually be able to go to the Shadow Tank for the command of the pattern that they need.
The name doesn’t do this ball justice. This ball definitely doesn’t stick to the shadows. This ball does it all I can use it as a spare ball and also use it to play straighter or move to it when the lanes burn up and not have to worry. This ball will definitely have a place in my tournament bag for a long time. You will not be disappointed with this ball!

Your next bench mark ball. Very dependable, very controllable, better than Urethane. Worth every penny.

I just got this ball drilled earlier today and played only 3 games with it. I was impressed with how deep I could play this ball considering it's urethane.
I played this with the factory finish and drilled to my exact layout by the pro shop. At first, I was in shock when I first rolled the ball at my normal spot because it took off like a canon and responded hard when it hit friction. So I made adjustments and played deeper than usual. After that, it was automatic! I couldn't stop throwing strikes!
I bowled a 214, 222, and a 190 for my first 600 series in a very long time! I can't wait to get back out on the lanes again and roll this beauty! What a ball!

I bought this ball because as I transition into being a senior bowler I'm finding that my rev rate dominates my ball speed. One reviewer said that he didn't think that this ball would be anyone's "daily driver", but I find it becoming my go to ball when managing transition. I'm currently planning to drill another with a slightly different layout so I actually may end up at league night with two Shadow tanks in the bag.

Having this ball with the layout 30 x 5 x 35, so far it excels on many different oil patterns!
