- King Cobra (Remake)

First Impressions
The King Cobra (Remake) from AMF is an absolute prime example of control and perfect readability on the lane. Driven by the proven Cobra Symmetric core, this ball offers very balanced and harmonious core dynamics with a 2.52 RG and a 0.045 differential. Combined with the precisely tuned solid reactive cover, the result is a surface that interacts with the oil in an extremely predictable and consistent manner. The 2000 Abralon finish purposefully ensures that the ball picks up friction early and controls the midlane securely, without ever coming across as unpredictable. Even the outward appearance conveys great stability and dependability, qualities that carry over seamlessly into the actual roll through the heads. The overall construction is designed to give the bowler clear feedback about the condition of the lane at all times.
Comparison
Looking at the King Cobra (Remake) in direct comparison to the Storm Phaze II, its much stronger orientation toward control and predictability becomes very clear. The Storm Phaze II does offer a slightly more angular move off the backend, but on difficult oil patterns it can react too sensitively or overreact. This is exactly where the King Cobra (Remake) scores, with its steady, smooth and continuous arc toward the pins. Where the Phaze II tends to miss the breakpoint, the King Cobra (Remake) delivers the traction needed in the pocket to stay safely on course. It closes the gap between extremely strong balls and weaker models absolutely ideally. For bowlers who like the Phaze II but are looking for a calmer, safer option, this is the logical choice.
On the Lanes
On the lane this ball proves to be the perfect companion for medium to heavy oil patterns, especially on typical house shots or demanding sport patterns. It lets you get through the boards securely and develops a strong but wonderfully round hook that leads straight into the pocket. The smooth reaction to the friction on the backend produces outstanding carry, since the ball transfers an extreme amount of energy into the pins instead of wasting it prematurely through too harsh a change of direction. Once the transition sets in, the ball can still be used very effectively with small adjustments to the line before a change becomes necessary. It is a true benchmark for anyone who wants to build their game methodically, and it should deliver consistently high scores.
