Jet’s first asymmetrical core design comes to us in the Turbulence. This ball combines a strong core shape with the most versatile cover we have tested from Jet Bowling.

The Turbulence offered a phenomenal reaction on our medium test pattern. All three testers were able to produce hook in the oil, while maintaining a strong back end motion. All three could strike away from where they usually attack this pattern as well as when they cheated right or left with their feet. This ball kept the same motion as the pattern broke down. All testers just...

This ball packs quite a punch at the breakpoint and back end. We found it to be just a touch smoother than the Burner and start hooking a bit earlier as well.
Length

The pearlized cover will not pick up the front of the lane even as the oil starts to go away. This ball hooks and as a result, we feel the Turbulence sacrificed some length in exchange for more total motion.
Back End
(1-20)

The Turbulence is not exactly a skid/flip motion. We saw a strong move at the breakpoint and a strong continuation through the pins.
Total Hook
(1-100)

The total hook is pretty impressive for a polished pearl ball. We had little trouble on any of our test patterns.

Strengths: This ball is strong and predictable. It gave us control when it saw friction and hook in the oil.

Weaknesses: There are few weaknesses to the Turbulence. So few, in fact, we could not find one to list.

Overall Summary: The Turbulence is a terrific overall bowling ball. If a bowler was limited to a smaller arsenal, the Turbulence should be one of the balls in it.
