- Blue Moon

First Impressions
The Pyramid Blue Moon shows up with a striking blue look and uses the proven SG 19.5 Asymmetric Core with a 2.52 RG, a 0.039 differential and a 0.015 mass bias differential. The GPS Navigational ATX coverstock comes with a 2000-grit Abralon surface, giving the ball a dull, tacky finish. This solid reactive cover should provide medium-high flare potential and make the ball correspondingly responsive across a variety of lane conditions. The asymmetric core creates an uneven weight distribution that should boost hook potential and angle creation off the backend.
Comparison
The Blue Moon was created as the successor to the extremely successful Pyramid Blood Moon Rising, one of the best-selling high-performance balls in the brand's history. While both balls use the same SG 19.5 Dual Density Asymmetric Core, they differ in the cover system. The Blue Moon, with its solid reactive cover finished at 2000-grit Abralon, should offer more controllable ball motion compared to the Blood Moon Rising with its stronger overall reaction. The Blue Moon promises a smoother overall ball motion while still being able to handle medium-heavy to heavy oil conditions. Compared to the hybrid-covered Blood Moon Rising, the Blue Moon shows earlier friction and a more even motion through the midlane thanks to its solid reactive surface.
On the Lanes
Pyramid's technology is intended to give bowlers of every style — from strokers to two-handers — peak performance on medium oil conditions. The Blue Moon is particularly suited to medium-heavy to heavy lane conditions and promises a controlled yet still powerful reaction. The 2000-grit surface makes it an ideal choice if you're looking for a predictable midlane read with controlled backend motion. Versatile drilling options make it possible to tailor the ball to different styles of play. If you want to move from the more aggressive Blood Moon Rising to a somewhat more controlled option without giving up hitting power, the Blue Moon is an interesting alternative. Its solid cover characteristics make it especially valuable when the lanes start to break down or when precise control matters more than maximum angle creation.
