Wow! does the Alert 79 Hybrid coverstock make a pronounced backend move. When the Moxie is a too early or isn't finishing well, put the Respect in your hand and keep on striking. This ball worked well on all fresh oil shots I bowled on. Definitely not a light or short oil ball. The ball motion is very predictable, but does have some backend kick to it. I initially had some over under reaction with the OOB finish (1,500 Grit Polished), but found a more consistent reaction by changing the surface to a NEAT "T" pad (4K) dull. Man did this liven up the ball reaction for me. It gave it a touch more midlane read and a better backend move. This ball definitely works well on oil. Go and get one and earn some Respect!

Respect Drilling: Pin between fingers stacked Surface: OOB 1500 Polish Lane condition: 41 ft THS Description: This ball deserves all the respect. One of the strongest shiny balls I've thrown recently. The coverstock is extremely aggressive, and it matches well with the tetra symmetric core that was showcased earlier this year in the Moxie. This ball will get more length than the Moxie with an extremely aggressive backend motion. One aspect about this ball that I've seen so far is the fact that it allows me to play many different angles due to the forgiving core dynamics. If I want to play up the boards, it allows me to do that on the fresh because of the clean length through the covers, but if I want to move into the lane and fight some of the oil it still will roll strong. If you are looking for the go to ball on a med-heavy shot this will be a great choice.
