Very strong ball that’s the perfect choice for heavy oil patterns. Works good as a starting ball on patterns like Shark, Mexico.

The motion of this ball is just great. I have bowled with it on various conditions, both straighter to Over the left gutter. I am impressed how easy it cleans the heads and still has midlane read with great backend that just continues thru the pins. Have been in my bag the last tournaments and will be in the future tournaments as well.

The new Mission Domination combines the same great core from the other two Missions, but with the new XL1300 coverstock in a 3000 abralon finish.
This new coverstock allows the Domination to get down the lane better than the original Mission and combine that with a stronger backend than the Mission 2.0.
The Mission Domination gives me a really nice motion on the last half of the lane. It picks up in the midlane and has a really strong, arcing motion. It is more angular and more continous than most other Ebonite balls and I think this will be a great compliment for the Mission and the entire Ebonite line.
It is definitely a ball that I see as a great compliment when the pattern breaks down and I need to get left, get the ball through the fronts and still get it back and continue through the pins. There’s a lot of balls that you can get left with and clear the fronts with, but what separates the Mission Domination is that it still reads the midlane and gives you the control you need when you get on the little tougher oil patterns.
I’m really looking forward to throwing this ball in the future. It will be a great compliment to my arsenal and I think it will follow in the great footsteps of the Mission.

I haven’t been able to get the advertised reactions of the first two Missions. The original was very early with very little backend hook. The 2.0 was stronger down lane but it was still pretty mellow. It seemed everybody else got the “right” reactions from them so I chose to lay out the Mission Domination a little differently to make sure that the wierd reactions i saw from the first two wasnt a layout issue.
I’m happy to say that this third installment in the series does just what it’s supposed to. I see good length great midlane read and a strong back end finish. It’s great for opening up the lane from inside lines. Eventhough it’s very strong and I kept moving left I never lost control of the break point. Going up the boards was more difficult and I had to pick up my speed and use less hand to control it. I very excited about this ball because it does all the right thing in the right spots.
