Haven't thrown this ball quite as much as I should, because I have found another ball that is fantastic (the Angle evolution), but it is similiar to that ball. Probably not for heavy oil or real light oil, but could use for everything in between. On dry lanes it clears the heads with ease and stores energy for the back end with a nice arc. Could play straight up the boards or belly it out with no problem with minor adjustments. On heavier oil, I had to play more straight up the boards, because I just couldn't get it to turn the corner with enough "umph" to carry well, without slowing the ball speed way down. Very forgiving and have had some nice 600's with this. Cleans up well and for me one of those balls to save and throw every now and then for memory sakes. But could still handle todays conditions no problem.

I picked up this ball brand new in the box for a hundred... It was left over from when it came out. I have bowled only about thirty games with it so far and so far I dont really have a complaint. great price strong hook amazing hit overall happy. Heres my suggestion if you find one out there for under two hundred dollars pounce on it. I can almost guarantee you will not regret it. It clears the front fast picking up speed and then really carries through the mids then drives dead in to the pins causing a explosion. but...... If you dont hit the pocket your not going to get alot of pin action be forewarned. I havent seen to many 10 pins so far after contact with the pocket so Im happy.

I am a lefty and try to put a few extra revs and speed on the ball. I first threw it inside out across the third arrow to the first arrow. The ball would often skid past the breakpoint or hook early based on my usual adjustments. I put it away and later decided to throw it straight down the lane inside the first arrow and giving it an early roll. I am pleased with how well it hooks and carries as long as I do not hit light in the pocket. Works well if speed and mark accuracy remain consistent.

This ball is great. Very readable and predictable reaction. First day with it i shoot 777, woulda been the big 800 if I hadn't missed a few spares in the second game (210), including my first sanctioned 300. After league I went to a tournament and averaged 217 when my league average is 200. This is a very awesome ball and it will help any bowler who throws it. However, the ball has seemed to lose some of its hitting power, possibly b/c of the particle. Overall, a very good ball and can fit in any bowler's bag.

This is the ball I start with when I first go into a house. While it turns hard on dry conditions and medium light conditions -- making it largely unsuitable for many sport shots -- on most house conditions it turns hard and blows through the backends. Mine is drilled with the CG in the palm and the Pin next to the ring finger. It carries light better than my weapons on the conditions for which it is appropriate. Turns hard, hits hard. Do not go high if the lanes are cooking or its big four or the castle. Not a huge hooking ball, but strong and controllable. On a flood, you have to play straighter than most folks want -- for me, its still good unless the carrydown is heavy. Turn is smooth for the speed, revs and drill I use. If I am having ten-pin problems with something else, I may pull this out of the bag and adjust -- it carries tens incredibly well. ---------------------------------------------- This is an update on this ball. After about 350-400 games. It has died

This is the best carrying ball I have ever thrown. I find it reacts better on synthetic lanes. I won NEBA throwing just this ball for all 11 games. It seems to be forgiving as the shot transitions. I don't recommend in for a real flooded shot or really long oil, because it just goes 60 feet. This is the ball I start with every night to read the lanes. I am left-handed with a ball speed of around 16 mph. I have found that this ball works best when swinging 12 out to 7 on synthetic lanes. My carry is at least an average of 90% when playing that shot.
