The Pride™ line comes roaring back with the newest addition, the Pride Liberty.  A fearless ode to the spirit of American craftsmanship, the hybrid Pride Liberty commands attention on and off the lanes. The Pride series is the benchmark for medium oil ball motion, and this new hybrid Pride Liberty is the stronger and more angular upgrade to the original Pride.  This isn't just another bowling ball; it's a statement piece, standing as a powerful tribute to all things bold and indomitable.

 

At its heart beats the mighty Dominion core.  Featuring a 2.50 RG, .042 differential, and .010 asymmetry, the Dominion core bridges the gap between the Gear APG, found in the Black Venom and the Overload core found in the Evoke.  This unique benchmark asym spec range allows bowlers to wield an asymmetrical ball on lower volumes and higher friction than the Evoke or Jackals allow.  Additionally, asymmetrical cores help players to control ball motion more than most symmetrical cores now that weight holes are illegal in competition. 


Wrapped around this core is the latest innovation in our arsenal - Dynamic Propulsion Hybrid Reactive coverstock. Imagine a cover that’s cleaner than the Pride Dynasty, yet as assertive in its down lane motion as the Pride Empire.  This hybrid cover blends the best of both worlds to create a ball motion that will get through the front of the lane with ease without losing any bite on the backend.

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - The Pride Liberty should fit well in the bag of a speed dominant bowler looking for a control ball on moderate to moderate-high friction environments.  The hybrid shell should make the Pride Liberty a versatile middle of the bag option for speed dominant bowlers.  With some added surface, it can be a controllable medium oil ball, but with a bit of shine, a piece to use later in the block for moderate-dry lanes.
     
  • Balanced Bowlers - For balanced bowlers the Pride Liberty is a great “lane reader".  This will serve as an outstanding first ball out of the bag for bowlers looking to get a great idea of what’s going on with the lanes.  The Pride Liberty will also be outstanding for fresh to moderately broken down lanes for many house shots.
     
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - Most rev dominant players had trouble using the Pride Dynasty because of the exceedingly strong coverstock.  A cleaner and more angular cover allows Rev dominant players to throw the Pride Liberty when speed dominant players would use a Pride Dynasty; granting them great command of the pattern in moderately high concentrations of fresh oil.

    LOVE Hybrids!

    I love Hybrid balls, and this is Liberty is no different.

    Just the right blend of Pearl to walk through the fronts, but Solid enough to start reading through the muddy tracks others have left.

    This ball is not the first out of my bag typically for how I like to play the lanes.
    BUT
    League I bowl with 3 people that are down and in on around the 10. This is good and bad. It can muddy up the breakpoint down lane. So first game they shift the oil around a bit. When my EXJ or Mythic start acting up, I drop to the Liberty and it doesn't read to early, it also will still hook up through that muddiness.

    Out of the box, I had one bad shot (ALL me!), and threw a 280 with this ball.

    I'd recommend this ball to anyone looking for something around this spot in their bag.

    A great 1-2 lunch with the Dynasty

    I have the Dynasty and was excited to get the Liberty. It has not disappointed. Being a lefty, I often need the same shape just a little bit more length. The left side of the lanes don't break down the same way the right side does. When the Dynasty starts picking up too early, I move to the Liberty and I can stay in the same spot on the lanes and have the same look the the pocket. They are both drilled very similarly to let the cover be the difference. If you have the Dynasty, you need the Liberty. It's a perfect 1-2 punch.

    Great Benchmark Hybrid

    The Pride Liberty is a great addition to the Pride line. A great medium oil ball to help read the lane on fresh. I find I am able to stay with the Liberty longer than the Pride Dynasty. Where the Dynasty can get sluggish trying to turn the corner as a player tries to open the lane, in steps the Liberty to finish the job to help shape the lane the rest of the block.

    Benchmark ball

    Beautiful ball and a great iteration of the Pride series. This ball gives me just a little more length down the lane than my Dynasty, and murders the pins. I’m only just getting back into bowling and first time taking the game seriously, and this ball is #1 out of the bag for me.

    With Liberty and Motiv for all!

    Core: Dominion
    Type: Asymmetric
    Coverstock:
    Box Finish: Dynamic Propulsion Hybrid Reactive
    Layout: 45 x 4 ½ x 70

    Strength
    The Dynamic Propulsion Hybrid Reactive coverstock of Pride Liberty provides it with a faster drive at the breakpoint to that of Pride Dynasty.

    Pride Liberty compared to Pride Dynasty clears the fronts more effortlessly, Pride Liberty is also earlier than the Nuclear Forge and Crimson Jackal.

    Pride Liberty in terms of backend recovery is more to that of Pride Dynasty, I cover more boards with Liberty to that of Pride Dynasty.

    The combination of backend motion provides strong traction, at box finish and surface adjustments Pride Liberty still handles well in the oil.

    Weaknesses
    I have found on drier patterns Pride Liberty can be too strong overall. Upon encountering such conditions I balled down to smaller weaponry.
