Product Description
SWAG Serpent Hybrid Bowling Ball
The Black Dragon quickly became a favorite among both customers and our team, thanks to its outstanding performance. Demand for this ball far exceeded our expectations, making it a challenge to keep in stock. Now, we are thrilled to introduce its partner—the Serpent Hybrid.
SWAG’s Superior Performance Line has already earned a reputation for delivering high-end results at an unbeatable value, thanks to the success of the Dragon Line. Now, we’re taking that same winning formula even further with the introduction of the Serpent Hybrid. Featuring the all-new Serpent Core, engineered with a higher RG for enhanced downlane motion, and paired with our Serum Hybrid AP26 coverstock, this ball delivers a powerful midlane read with great backend reaction. The Serpent Hybrid is the perfect complement to the line.
DESIGN INTENT:
Speed > Revs–The Serpent establishes a new benchmark for bowlers with faster ball speeds, enabling them to achieve more downlane motion without giving away control and hitting power from the large asymmetrical core. Its cutting-edge Serpent Asymmetric core, boasting a 2.51 RG, .048 differential, and .016 mass bias strength, provides outstanding power and performance usually seen in more expensive models. Combined with the Serum AP26 Hybrid cover, this ball provides unparalleled backend strength and control for bowlers with lower revolutions, making it a reliable choice for players who are speed dominant. Designed for consistent and predictable strong movement, the Serpent is the ideal choice for speed dominant players.
Balanced Speed & Revs – In our trials, balanced bowlers appreciated the Serpent for its great backend, excellent control, powerful continuation, and consistent performance on heavily oiled lanes. They found it durable enough to use for longer periods compared to other high-performance balls during league play. The combination of the Serum AP26 cover and the potent Serpent Asym core provides adaptability, enabling bowlers to easily adjust to varying lane conditions. This design allows bowlers to confidently maintain throwing the Serpent longer, even on fresh oil, without needing to change. The enhanced RG enables its use when the Black Dragon is a touch to early and when the Black Dragon Pearl is a bit to long and not enough overall hook.
Rev > Speed – The Serpent bowling ball is a game-changer for rev-dominant bowlers because of its smart core design. If you’ve experienced excessive forward movement down the lane with traditional asymmetrical balls, you’re not alone. Many of those balls feature overly exaggerated core shapes, such as large, protruding discs, making them hard to control. The Serpent’s Asymmetrical Core solves this issue. Like the Dragon core it shares the same idea but the higher RG enables it to push further down the lane than the Dragon core.
This core is designed to replicate the shape of symmetrical cores but with a larger intermediate differential, providing the ideal balance of control and power. It excels in handling heavy oil without compromising predictability. Furthermore, with the new Serum AP26 hybrid formula, rev-dominant bowlers can confidently use this ball during transitions or at deeper angles—moves that weren’t previously possible with asymmetrical cores.
The Serpent merges the smooth, dependable motion of symmetrical balls with the increased hitting power of a large asym core. It truly offers the best of both worlds! Prepare to dominate the lanes like never before.
