    Picked this ball up used off e-bay cheap. Minor adjustment to make it fit my span. Pin left of ring finger, CG kicked out slightly. Ran it on the spinner with a 1000 abralon pad. Ball does need oil, I threw it in practice couple of games when there wasn't a lot of oil and it was difficult to keep it in the pocket. Finally got to throw it tonight in a summer goof-off league with a fair amount of oil. Started throwing 18 to 5. and opened with 7 strikes, 8th frame had a stone 9. (I'm a lefty, of course,) Struck in the 9th and then choked in the tenth, leaving a 10 pin and missing it for a 247. Loved how this ball moved. It reved up quickly right off my hand, carried fairly long and made an incredible hard arc right into the pocket. Never jumped high even when it should have because of a poor release. One of the best balls I've ever thrown. I'm very, very impressed.

    this ball looked very promicing with the weight block from the powerdrive II that i have which is a decent ball. this ball woudl not hook up at all no matter how much hand i got in the ball. rev it up, no difference. shine it, dull it, even down as far as 800 grit abralon still didnt help. its a pearl and has no tacky surface at all. real awsome cool looking spare ball for the ten pin. when we tested two others on dry lanes you could see the weight block "stand up" and the ball roll out and never think of comming back to the pocket

    I stand far left, don't ask me what board, I know big toe on right foot is just left of furthest left dot, and on a fresh shot, I can put it usually put it over the 3ds and it'll pop in there nicely, Remember, drilled weak. I release the ball, and since it's drilled weak, it doesn't really over react, it just goes down, hits the dry and makes an exact, but not sharp turn. This ball, with this drilling does exactly what I had hoped, (pin just below ring finger) but I do feel others would benefit from a stronger drilling.

    THIS IS NOT THE BALL I USE THE MOST BUT IT IS A VERY GOOD BALL. THROW IT WIDE - IT COMES BACK TO THE POCKET, HITS HARD & KEEPS THE PINS LOW ON THE DECK. THROW IT INSIDE IT SLIDES THROUGH THE OIL AND DOESN'T OVEREACT. HOLDS THE INSIDE TRACK AND STILL HITS THE POCKET. MINE IS DRILLED STACKED LEV, VERY SMOOTH ARC, ACTUALLY USE IT MOST OF THE TIME FOR MY 7s & 10s. THIS BALL NEVER OVEREACTS. WHEN I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE LANE - THIS IS THE ONE I GO TO. HANDLES CARRY DOWN WITH EASE. IF THE LANE IS DRY IT'S EASY TO ADJUST AND DOESN'T ROLL OUT STILL HITS SUPER HARD! IF ALL YOU WANT IS ONE BALL FOR YOUR ARSENAL THIS WOULD BE THE ONE! I BELIEVE IT WOULD WORK REALLY WELL FOR STROKERS & TWEENERS, NOT SURE ABOUT CRANKERS.

    My fourth 15 pound ball is something for lighter oil conditions this ball fits the bill. Ball specs pin above my ring finger mass bias is out about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Ball has amazing length and strong reovery even if I throw a bad shot way out to the gutter it has the strength to come back. Ball has a strong turn to the pocket it never snaps just turns real easy. I am not used to the hitting power yet it is different than my Morich stuff, the professional keeps pins low, very low kind of like it is finessing the pins down, the ball and the pins always leave the deck at the same time which I find impressive, Overall I like this ball I have about 12 games on it at two different houses and it was awesome at both places. The ball will be big time help in my scratch league come fall because we bowl six games, (3 games of baker and 3 of match play, to determine team points,) Any way after Baker the lanes are already shot to hell so it becomes difficult to find a ball that has enough le

    Saw this ball in the Pro Shop I go to and had to have one. What a Great investment. Ball Specs: 16Lbs, 2 oz of top weight 3 inch Pin Lay Out: 4x2 Pin below, and between Fingers CG to the right of my center of grip Small balance whole 1 inch from CG This ball is a wonderful compliment to my Big Bully. It has the Big Bully Mallet Core, The M80 Coverstock, it's just Resin Perl, versus Resin. The first time I threw this ball, I knew it was definately one of the better pieces of equipment I have bought. I was bowling in a Jr/Adult League, the shot was Medium Oil. I was able to play 10 to 7, for the first game, then I had to adjust to 12 to 6 by the third game. The ball has the smoothest roll I've seen, the most predictable reaction. No Over Under suprises. Every shot thrown with this ball it would go about 40 feet then right into the 1-3. It holds all it's power for the pin deck. So far I have played on Medium-Heavy Oil patterns, and Medium-Dry Oil patterns. Her
