First Bowling Ball

It means it hooks more at the end of the lanes. More hockey puck, rather than banana shape hook. I have a 15 lb cyclone. If I throw slow it will hook pretty well, when I get upwards of 18MPH it barely hooks at all. My wife throws a 12lb one, probably throws 12 MPH but man does she have a killer hook with that thing. And of course lane conditions play a part too. It's a good ball for the price.

I believe he meant to say hockey stick. The ball goes straight down the lane like the top part of a hockey stick and then it hooks into the pocket like the lower part of the hockey stick.

Just curious what does it mean when a Bowling Ball has a "Strong Backend"

Thought so. I use the same reference when trying to explain to my friend that he shouldn't be throwing his Hyper Cell which rolls early and has a banana shape roll like his Mastermind Genius, which is Hybrid and has a hockey stick shape to its roll.

Went to Pro shop today and there was only one choice so I ended up with a DV8 Misfit in neon Yellow 14 LBS and finger tip grip. The person at the pro shop said he thinks these were better then the cyclone although i was really hoping to get the Ebonite Cyclone.

Interesting. Do you like the color? Let us know how you like the ball.

At first I was hesitate about the color but I have come to like it. The thing is there are no pro shops near me there all outside the city so it was either this or wait and who knows how long it would be until I would get to one. On the other hand the ball is great it took me a few throws to get use to to it as I have always used conventional grip with the house ball. It's a big difference to have a ball that fits properly my game is already better. I got a strike or 2 in the first couple minutes after the ball was drilled.

I am pleased with it I am curious to hear people thoughts though.

I think it is cool looking and i have seen several people use it and seems like a good ball. Good luck with your game!
