- Zero Eclipse

First Impressions
The Aloha Zero is a classic polyester ball that hit the market in October 2013 and has since been a fixture in the beginner and spare ball segment. The design features a smooth, high-gloss polished surface finished with 4000 grit Abralon. Inside the ball works a traditional pancake core, engineered for an extremely stable and predictable path. The specs on a 15 pound ball are a 2.690 RG and a 0.020 differential. This combination of a hard polyester shell and a weak core means the ball develops virtually no motion of its own and friction on the lane surface is consistently minimized.
Comparison Compared directly to other well-known spare balls such as the Brunswick Tzone or the Columbia 300 White Dot, the Aloha Zero shows nearly identical ball motion, defined by maximum directional stability. Where a modern reactive ball like the Storm Phaze II is designed to react massively in the backend and seek out friction, the Aloha Zero skids over the oil and the dry parts of the lane without any appreciable hook. Even against beginner balls with slight core potential, this ball stays noticeably calmer in its line. It falls into the category of pure plastic balls, where the cover material shuts down any transition in order to keep the focus on a straight ball path.
On the Lanes The primary job of the Aloha Zero is precise spare shooting, especially when single pins are left standing on the left or right side. For advanced players and pros it serves as an indispensable tool to completely neutralize the influence of lane oil and guarantee a consistent line to the pocket or to the corner pins. Beginners will find in this model an affordable first ball for learning the basics of the swing and the release without being distracted by unpredictable hook motion. Thanks to the low friction, the ball should offer excellent straight-line travel even on difficult or heavily played patterns. In scenarios with extremely little oil in the heads, it can also be used if you have a very high rev rate, in order to control carry and avoid the overreaction of reactive materials.
