JOY RIDE
Although it is fun to hook the ball coast to coast, sometimes hitting the pocket consistently is more important. The Joy Ride features a lower friction, highly polished pearl Reactor material which limits traction between the ball and the lane. And the all-new Cruiser Core produces a modest amount of flare potential to help you control the ball’s path.

Designed for the control
The Cruiser Core is a very long, smoother option which is viable for those looking for more control on the backend. The higher RG and lower differential provides a shape that retains axis rotation without over-reacting as it exits the end of the pattern. This core is perfect for those looking to conquer even the most hooking conditions.

The Reactor coverstock is the benchmark in design
In use for over a decade, the Reactor coverstock is still going strong. When something has been this successful there is no reason to get rid of it. Reactor material is moderately aggressive, but still offers a fair amount of control without over-reacting on the backend.
