Jet bowling has discontinued the Altitude and replaced it
with the Extreme Altitude which boasts of a much stronger cover than the
Altitude while keeping the core that was used in the Altitude and Max Altitude
Pearl.
This is the move that excited me the most for I know this is
how Rotogrip did with the Defiant and Defiant edge and Defiant Soul and Totally
Defiant or how Storm went with the Marvel and Marvel Pearl and now with the Marvel
S. And in Jet Bowling’s case, instead of going for another pearl and hybrid,
they went for another stronger solid instead.
“Is this a smart move? Given that most centers are not
oiling the lanes with so much oil nowadays” that’s the question that I queried
myself a few times.
As usual, the ball was laid out with 75 x 5 x 40 and this
time round I had it polished up at 4000 for the 4000 matt oob look that it came
with was practically screaming out to me “GIVE ME OIL!” but unfortunately
centers here don’t have the luxury of that much oil that this ball was craving
for hence the polish.
Along with it was another Max Altitude Pearl which was laid
out the same way but left oob at 2000 polished.
I went to bowl league with these 2 balls without even practicing
for a few games, only threw a couple of warm up shots.
At 4000 shine I tot it would still be over hooking in
med-light oil but I was wrong, I started the game with the extreme and I was
able to get it slicing through the mid lane and turning violently at the
breakpoint smashing all the pins that was standing in the way.
2nd game the heads were drying up so I switched
to the max pearl.
Mid way tru the last game the max pearl was giving problems
dealing with the carry down so I took a risk and went back to the extreme and
played outside, surprisingly, like a hot knife going through solid butter, the
extreme cut through all the carry down and I finished the game with a bang.
Next day league was at another center and as usual towards
the end of the games, I could use the extreme to cut through the carry down.
This ball needs oil and its actually soaks oil up like a
sponge, like the simple green u use to clean grease off just by a wipe.
A must have for anybody who craves for a ball that needs
oil.
