The center I bowl league in has a hugh volume in the middle of the lane, so often times balls that hook in the backend go too long, and balls that hook early are spent by the time they get to the pins. The new Thug Unruly allowed me to move into the flood and still had more than enough left to make a very hard move into the pocket. I've also thrown it on two different sport patterns. On the WTBA Athens pattern, there was enough volume in the front of the lane to allow me to play just inside the track area, sending it out to about 5-6 before it came roaring back to the 1-3. I was impressed at how well it handled the flatter pattern playing that much angle. The other sport pattern was in a very high lineage center with lower volume and shorter length. The shorter pattern yielded a better ball motion when playing pretty straight up the lane between 5-8. The strong Class 13G coverstock just hooked way too much out there, and when I moved further inside there was too much OB throwing it out to where the straighter angles were playing. No ball will work every single time, and I am well aware of that. Just remember to save this ball for longer/heavier oil patterns.
