Summit Ascent and Optimum Idol

‪@stormbowling‬ Summit Ascent and ‪‪@Rotogripownit‬ Optimum Idol Reviews:
Summit Ascent:
We have the newest benchmark release from the SPI line with the Summit Ascent. Featuring the famous centripetal HD core we see this matched with R2S overstock at 4k finish to provide a cleaner entry through the front part of the lane yet a discernible read in the mid's where it will dig and shape down lane. I did change the surface to 2000 to get it to read sooner on the lane although at 4000 it is quite usable as well. I brought it to 2000 to read sooner than my Phase 2 and have that as a transition off of the new Summit. The Summit Ascent provides plenty of predictability and versatility for a multitude of conditions. You can keep it at 4000 to provide cleaner shape or scuff it to get it to read sooner on heavier and or longer oil conditions. This ball will not overreact and will provide plenty of information for what the current playing environment is. This ball will be my first out the bag in most conditions on the fresh from tournament to league play. Those that are looking for predictability, the Summit Ascent is a great option to have in your arsenal.
Optimum Idol:
You will never go wrong with a ball that has the Idol logo on it and the Optimum is no different. A shape we been looking for in the SPI for a little bit of time, this is a throw back to the blue Idol Pearl we saw years ago. Although the current is stronger and earlier than the blue pearl; we still see that great pearl mid performance benchmark reaction with the Optimum. This ball will come out after the Ascent begins to read too soon and a cleaner and more angular ball reaction is needed. Additionally, for comparison purposes this ball will be stronger than the Xponent Pearl as it reads the body of the lane much sooner.
