The Ignition Core provides a reliable shape that has been proven time and time again.  The medium-high RG combined with a moderate amount of differential will give the bowler a strong but predictable reaction on all medium to dry conditions. It was introduced in the Global product line in August 2020. It was first launched in the 900 Global Afterburner Bowling Ball
