I like that this ball it goes long and snaps back to the pocket. The angle it comes back is very sharp. I was using it the other day because I had trouble with my other equipment, it was carring all the shots. I was about to ready to get rid of it but when I used it I had to change my mind because I may need it again for that same condition. I'm sure glad that I didn't get rid of it. I have lots of revolutions so having something that goes long is a must, plus it has to recover to make it back to the pocket. This ball hates lots of oil but I hardly ever see oil where I bowl.

Very impressed overall with this ball, is now my first ball out of the bag since I can't figure out my V2 still. Like I said before, very clean through the heads, and sharp, yet predictable turn on the backends. I can experiment with different hand positions (hitting the side of the ball to get more length or coming up the back of the ball to get more roll and more pin action) and it works magnificiently either way. Not too many problems with corner pins, however it does come up kinda weak if i'm off with the shot, still comes back to the pocket, but doesn't hit as hard. Overall though, a very good ball especially for how long ago it was introduced to the market.

I have used this ball on every condition I have faced; heavy oil, medium to dry. The best is obviously medium oil, but the diversity of this ball will allow for you to adjust on any condition. My favorite thing about the ball has to be the heavy roll, it keeps the pins down and rolling. I have never owned a ball that is more functional that this one. The best advice I would have for this ball is to keep it polished, I don't know if this ball can have to much polish. It has enough back-end to always make some kind of move to the pocket. I throw with medium speed (14-16)w/ high revs and this ball will throw a drastic hook on dry conditions but it is still a distinct and constant which makes it controllable.

I don't know if my review is entirely benificial for anyone interested in getting a used version of the ball because of the off label drilling. It definately made the ball hook more than it is supposed to, but I am not sure that it affected how hard the ball hits because it hits like a ton. I have very few single pin leaves because almost everything carries with this ball. The only issues that I have with this ball is that it has to have long oil to consistantly control the break point. It will jump early if it gets any chance to do so. It is very bad if you throw on blotchy lane conditions because if is hits a dry spot it will start early. Otherwise it is a very consistant and strong ball.
