If you’re looking for a Skid-Flip ball… this is the one for you. The Primal Impulse goes long with an aggressive breakpoint – even though I drilled mine with a mild layout. (80* x 5 1/2 x 35*). When using this ball on a fresh house shot, It allows me to play a more angular shape to the friction. The dramatic change of direction – along with the eye-catching color scheme of the ball turns heads. “What ball are you throwing!?!”

While it is a fun ball to play on a house shot…

(Here is a video of me rolling a Primal Impulse on a fresh “Main Street” pattern



…I had the pleasure of using this piece on a broken down Shark pattern at a recent tournament. This is where the ball earns it’s keep. Initially I was tentative about getting the ball to the spot. Once I trusted it and realized that I can aggressively open up my angles, I found that this ball not only gets to the spot and recovers, but it retains energy like no other ball I’ve thrown. Translation: It carries when I need to play the 5th arrow!
