- Path Cosmic Candy Swirl

First Impressions
The Pyramid Path is a classic entry-level and spare ball that stands out with its high-gloss look and an unusually wide range of colors. Technically the ball is very simple, but it's extremely effective and purpose-built. At the center sits a traditional symmetrical pancake core. This classic core shape is defined by a very high RG and an extremely low differential. That specific combination is aimed at keeping the ball's own dynamics and flare potential as low as possible. The coverstock is pure, hard polyester. The surface comes polished to a high gloss with a High Polish finish out of the box, giving the ball an extremely smooth and durable texture. That mirror-smooth surface combined with the completely non-reactive cover reduces friction on the lane surface to an absolute minimum. Visually it usually shows up in lively multi-color swirl designs, which give good feedback on the release as the ball rotates down the boards. The entire design is strictly built so the ball holds its line stoically, without being influenced by whatever oil pattern is down.
Comparison Side by side on the lane, the Pyramid Path behaves extremely similarly to other industry standards in this category, for example the Brunswick T-Zone or the Storm Ice. All of these models rely on a hard polyester cover and a simple pancake core, which makes the ball motion nearly identical. While a reactive beginner ball like the Storm Tropical Surge already builds friction relatively early and develops a clear hook toward the pocket at the breakpoint, the Pyramid Path remains completely unimpressed by dry or heavily oiled zones. The ball glides absolutely effortlessly through the heads and shows no notable transition even at the end of the oil pattern when the lane dries up. Against the Brunswick T-Zone or the Columbia 300 White Dot there are no measurable playing advantages or disadvantages on the lane. The decision between these balls usually comes down purely to looks or price. If you're looking for a ball that produces an aggressive hook, you won't find it here, because the developers designed the core and cover combination to play exactly no arc at all and instead convert the applied energy purely into forward motion.
On the Lanes The ideal and most common use case for this ball is classic spare shooting. For that reason, advanced players, tournament players and pros carry it in the arsenal almost exclusively as a dedicated spare ball. When it comes to reliably clearing single pins across the boards on the opposite side, the ball should guarantee a dead-straight path that takes the oil pattern completely out of play. Beginners and casual bowlers also benefit enormously from the model's predictable nature, since the ball doesn't overreact on extremely dry house lanes and is therefore very easy to control. Because there's almost no real hook potential, you have to be extremely precise and throw with a lot of force on the first ball to get good carry in the pocket. That makes it only somewhat ideal as a first-ball option over the long haul. On heavily played lanes with very little oil, though, it can serve experienced players as a tactical last resort when even very weak reactive balls react too early and too strongly to the transition. Overall, the Pyramid Path should deliver absolute straightness and maximum predictability, completely regardless of what the current lane conditions look like.
