Built to handle Medium to Heavy Oil lane conditions, this Upper-Mid Performance bowling ball features the Dragon Asymmetric core and Scorch AP26 Hybrid Reactive coverstock.
Ball Motion: Strong midlane traction with a clean front and continuous motion through the pins.
The SWAG Black Dragon Hybrid combines the proven Dragon Asymmetric Core with the new Scorch Hybrid AP26 coverstock to create a strong, versatile reaction for medium to heavy oil. The hybrid cover clears the front of the lane more easily than the Black Dragon Solid while maintaining strong midlane traction and continuous motion through the pins.
Finished at 1500 Abralon, the Black Dragon Hybrid is designed for fresh conditions while remaining usable deeper into the block as the lanes transition. Its asymmetric core provides a strong midlane read and dependable recovery, while the hybrid cover helps preserve energy and create a more versatile shape than a straight solid.
Scorch Hybrid AP26 - SWAG's first hybrid version of the Scorch coverstock combines solid traction on the fresh with pearl-like energy retention through the midlane. Adhesion Promotion technology increases the cover's contact footprint and oil absorption, helping the Black Dragon Hybrid read the midlane with authority while remaining cleaner through the front than the original Black Dragon Solid.
Dragon Asymmetric Core - The proven Dragon Asymmetric Core features a 2.49 RG, .050 differential, and .017 mass bias at 15 pounds. Its heavy, early-revving design creates a strong midlane read, dependable recovery, and continuous motion through the pins while helping the ball maintain its shape through carrydown.
The Black Dragon Hybrid is best used on medium to heavy oil conditions, particularly on fresh lane surfaces where you need strong traction without the earlier and more demanding reaction of a solid. Its hybrid cover allows the ball to remain useful as the pattern begins to transition, making it a versatile option throughout more of the session.
Fits between the Black Dragon Solid and Black Dragon Pearl, providing a balance of traction and length that makes it a versatile heavy-oil option. It offers a cleaner look than the solid while maintaining more midlane strength and continuation than the pearl.
Adhesion Promotion (AP26) - SWAG's AP26 technology is designed to enlarge the coverstock's contact footprint at the molecular level, increasing traction and oil absorption while helping maintain consistent performance.
