- Night Hawk SE

First Impressions
The AMF Night Hawk SE arrives in a classic, all-black solid color combination that signals absolute control. The heart of this model is the symmetric Night Hawk Core, which features a 2.550 RG and a strong 0.051 differential. The cover is the F43 Solid Reactive coverstock, lightly dulled at the factory with a 4000 grit Abralon finish. The higher RG keeps the core from revving up until relatively late, while the roughened cover should let the ball glide very safely through the heads and build massive hold in the midlane.
Comparison
Compared to modern heavy-oil balls, the Night Hawk SE grabs noticeably later thanks to its high RG and offers a considerably more stable, more arcing reaction at the breakpoint. Next to the Storm IQ Tour Solid, the Night Hawk SE generates a hard-hitting move that nonetheless plays out much rounder and more classic than typical snappy balls. As soon as the transition sets in and the front part of the lane dries up, the Night Hawk SE benefits enormously from its core dynamics and keeps control on inconsistent boards.
On the Lanes
The AMF Night Hawk SE finds its preferred home on medium lane conditions. It is the perfect choice if you need a ball on fresh or lightly played patterns that grabs hard in the midlane and produces a steady hook toward the pocket. The dependable reaction helps you avoid missing the breakpoint. The ball should maximize carry through its powerful drive. On bone-dry lanes, however, this ball is hard to keep on the intended line.
