    Overall i like the ball alot and i use it alot and there hasnt been a medium oil pattern that i have struggled on it with.I have used it in just about every house i have bowled at and this ball has not dissapointed me yet my hi game with it right now is 279 and my hi series with it is 721.Right now i average about 215 right now.The ball is probably the best mid range ball i ever owned and the best part is that is is a inexspensive ball.I only payed about 140 after drilling and it has brought me great results.I am looking into buying the particle pearl next since i havce had such a positive outcome with this ball.

    went to the pro shop and thought yea this ball looks great. boy was i wrong. i never had soo much inconsistancy in my life. one shot would hook and the next go dead straight. to me the u turn partcle was more like a turn lane that you couldnt make a u turn in. thank god i finally got someone to buy the thing so i caould get enough money to pay for THE ONE. i hope the person that bought it has more luck with it then i do or he will probably find me and throw the ball at me.

    I have owned two of these balls and they have great controll down a medium oiled lane and both have hit the hardest out of all the balls I've owned. I don't enter a house without it. It's got a smooth hook and if it's heading towards the pocket just turn and have a seat because they are all going down. I love this ball I've bowled my highest games with it. It is the only ball that I have owned that I have re-bought. This is my second year bowling and I've rolled 8, 200 and over games and my first 600 series with this ball. I believe it is underated for the price you couldn't find a better ball.

    I drilled this one with my usual pattern...cg in the palm and the pin negative above my middle finger. I tried this ball on my normal house pattern, which is a walled up shot, the ball was just too strong, however, I was able to get a good read on it. The ball picked up a nice roll in the midlane and continued with a nice arc to the pocket. Ball hit like a train. You're gonna need some oil for this one, keep her out of the dry boards. If you are looking for an oil ball, this is a great choice and affordable
