Ok, like Wink2873, I bought this ball for the same reason he did, as we both bowl at the same house. I have a higher rev rate, and higher speed than him. This ball is the biggest piece of junk I've ever thrown. One shot will be dead flush, and would crush the hole. The next shot will also be dead flush, but you leave a 5-7, or 8-10. I threw this ball last night, because my V2, and Messenger Ti are in the shop getting some plug work done, and also resurfaced. I don't recomend this ball to anyone.

i bought this ball for one reason only. The league im in has a very short oil pattern and the outsides of the lane is bone dry. every other ball i have hooks too much to even hit the right side of the pocket. The big hit did a good job because of its smooth and not too violent reaction. I usually play on the 1st dot to the left of center and throw the ball out to about the 10 board because beyond 10 the lane is dry. during the first couple games the ball is consistant but when there is carrydown the ball just dies so then i have to switch to a stronger ball. the one thing i dont like about it is dead flush pocket shots it tends to leave 10 pins alot more than it should. But other than that it is a great ball for dry lanes, and only dry lanes... otherwise its a spareball.

This was my first ball, it is great for a dry shot. I sanded it from 1600 grit to 800 grit to gain some more hook, this was a great idea that I do not regret because I now pick up a lot more strikes than before and it doesn't lose power through the pins. Perfect for the beginning bowler to practice their shot and great for the more experienced bowler for the dry lanes. This is the perfect dry lane ball. However, you must soak it in hot water or you will lose reaction. I recommend a soak once every 20 games regardless of use.

I have put this ball in the car some many times when i go into housses and the lanes are oiled I would pull out my track heat that ball hits redicious i mean its actually is like heat hitting the pins ive you swing in out pass your target trust me its coming back but when i go for my ten pin i shoot at it with a ten pin ball also known as a brunswick plastic ball i was recently given a Roto Grip Oracle Vision that ball hooks like crazy but if your of your target it snapping hard it the only one i have to play o the left part of the lane and swing it out

Got this ball from Dave(A beast @ bowling/good person/boss/pro-shop owner) and it was previously used for like 3 games. So it was still in tip top shape... and it fit my span great, and all i needed was a new slug and some inserts. Tested it out... Rolls long and snaps. I loved it and the way it rolls. The drilling is Leverage. I cant wait to test this puppy @ Travel League, Saturday Sport Shot, and Tournaments. I think i'm finally set w/ my equipment..... I would like to keep it to 6... but you never kno when your young, hip and ambitious as I..... Holla

Background: I am a lefty with 17-19 mph speed. Have more hand than any other lefty in area. Can play from anywhere from 2nd arrow to 6th arrow. Ball info: 15lb ball 2.5oz, 3in pin. I drilled in basic 10 o clock drill. cg in palm and pin at 10 o clock. Review: I drilled this for a dry lanes problem I was having. I was able to bring back the 2nd arrow to gutter. It brought back that part of the lane. My game doesnt allow me to play there but now it is brought back even in the desert area. I was hesitant to drill this ball because in my exerience with low end balls they lack the hitting power to carry the corner pins. NOT THIS ONE! i have bowled four sets and a mini tourney since i drilled it. The sets were 741,758,753,and 726 with a 298. (I choked). and the mini tourney was a 4 game set and two match games with total of 1459. Cant say enough good things about this ball if you looking for a great dry lane ball this is it. 10 out of 10

I was bowling in a tournament and I ran across a pair that I believe the machine forgot to oil. I thought I was in big trouble, however I just drilled this ball up so let's see what this would do. I played the ball deep and it got thru the heads and made the turn for the pocket. The "BIG HIT" made a good recovery and a solid hit. Carry with this ball is very good. I believe the only way to get a ball to go straighter is to go with plastic. I tried a different layout with this ball. I put the CG in the palm and kick the pin out to around 3'oclock. This gave the ball a controlable hit even on a very dry condition. I am very glad to see this ball in my bag.
