    This ball was givin to me new in the box. My friend had removed the polished finish and had it custom drill, in a fashion that I cannot give away. This ball is beautiful. I play the 22 board and roll to the 13. The ball smoothly hit the pocket with style. Its aggresive but in away with finese. If your looking for an old ball with style this is it. I also found that playing this ball in it custom fashion, works great in heavy oil conditions. This ball is part of my 3 ball group. Wont leave home without it.

    this ball hits the pins hard and i do mean hard. its best line is a down and in shot on dry to med dry lanes. the best thing you could do to this ball is sand ,sand ,sand. dont throw it polished or on heavy oil unless you want to see how straight it will go.also dont try to play a deep line because this one wont recover.i had to drill mine so far off label i had to put a balance hole,and it still wouldnt flip at all.stricktly a roller ball,no true hook,or snap.

    I bought this ball in 1992 with the hope it would replace my Burgandy Hammer. I had a very rough time trying to get the shot figured out without having it go over the thumbhole. In its first league game, it dove through the center and managed to leave a 3-4-6-7-9-10...I've since contributed that leave to a divine act. I switched back to the Hammer and gave this one about 30 more practice games while thinking I probably wasted my money. However, I finally got it figured out after about a year and it finally replaced my Hammer. I was able to get a 279 (damn solid 9) and a series of 679, both lifetime highs at the time. At 11 years old it's the oldest in the arsenal, and one of 2 spare balls I pull out on league night (the other is a Pink Hammer). I virtually can't miss 4's and 7's with it and I've gotten into the bad habit of walking back after I see it go between the 2nd and 3rd arrows knowing it's going to convert. I know using 2 spare balls sounds silly, but it's been workin

    It is the ball to go to when all your other equipment tracks out and you lose your carry. This ball doesn't have a shapr hook but a nice smooth one which is nice because you do not leave alot of splits. This ball is making a comeback, many people are looking for and trying to find this ball. Crankers and spinners can't make this ball hook that much and it is so versatile. Best ball made ever. All I know is that brunswick has to come out with a all that is just like it cause they will make money on it.

    When I was16 I bowled a 707 series with this ball which at one time was a Junior Record for the area I live in. I don't put anything extra on the ball and let it roll in the pocket on it's own. This ball does that perfectly. If I throw it on my mark it'll make a beeline towards the 1-3 pocket. I've had the ball more many years and still use it today. If you are able to find one then pick one up. You'll love it. I sure love this thing.<scri

    This was the first reactive resin ball I ever bought, and throough the years, it remains the one I have yet to replace. Although many aspects of bowling have changed from lane conditions to bowling equipment, I enjoy the fact that I can almost always reach into my bag and be assured that this ball will do what it was drilled to do. I have won two city tournaments and one regional tournament with this ball. Not to mention Three high average league titles and a host of high games during league and tournament play. This ball also allows me the versatility to not only use it as my primary shot ball, but I also use it for my spare ball regardless of what ball I throw First.

    This ball is great if you are only going to use it on basic house conditions. I drilled this ball for my wife over lable with about 5/8oz finger weight and 1/2oz side weight. She throws the ball slow and plays generally straight up. On a house condition this ball will set up nice on the midlane and then make a great move towards the pocket. Once the lanes dry out movement is easy. This ball doesnt over-react and still hits like a truck. If you can find one and need a base ball to throw on a basic shot then I would recomend twice over.
