For bowlers who were looking for a ball that would fit between a Storm Marvel Pearl and Storm Marvel, the new Modern Marvel will give you that look.
The Modern Marvel features a hybrid cover stock that responds to friction slower than the original solid Marvel and much quicker than the Modern Marvel Pearl. Out of the box, the cover is a touch too rough for the normal house pattern and causes an early read on the pattern. Smoothing the surface with either 900Global NEAT pads and Abralon Pads allows the Modern Marvel to read the friction more consistently. Your ideal surface prep would depend on your rev rate and ball speed.
On more challenging sport and/or PBA lane patterns the Modern Marvel will allow you to switch to a strong core hybrid shell before jumping to a Pearl cover stock when the heads breakdown. The Modern Marvel preforms very well when the heads breakdown and the down lane reaction becomes tighter.
