            The original bad boys of bowling are back. Introducing the new Taboo. And while she may look sweet, there’s nothing soft about her performance. Engineered to deliver an extra two to three boards of hook every time, it’s the strongest ball we’ve ever made. And with aggressive features like our proven Gas Mask core and new GTR II coverstock, this ball starts hot and just keeps getting hotter. And the best part is, she likes to play in heavy oil.
