Now Granted, I only shot 2 and a half games with it, but after those 2 1/2 games, this is my favorite ball in a LONG LONG time. For being a ball that responds so quickly to friction, it gets through the front clean and gets down the lane real nice before responding to that fraction and just flying into the pocket. 24 out my first 30 possible strikes with it.

This ball is a monster. I picked one up for cheap that had excessive top weight and had to tinker with it to get it legal, so with the pattern, it goes pretty long, but the backend recovery on this ball is so clean. Ball gets down the lane and allows me to create all sorts of room. In 3 weeks of league and 4 tournament games (needed something to start up earlier after game 4), have not left a single ten pin with this ball...NOT A SINGLE TEN PIN! Sure, I've left some 9s, but I think that was more bowler adrenaline than the ball. This was my first lane one ball and won't be my last.

Drilled on of these up last night - went with a strong pattern on it (Pin ends up under my pinky with CG kicked out slightly with a weight hole). Was impressed with the how much control I had with it, but yet still had room and recovery. Had a couple shots where it jumped off the friction a little too hard (condition was pretty wet/dry), but overall this is definitely my new benchmark ball. Like any roto ball I've thrown (except for the Dagger), I love how forward it wants to roll instead of just flipping and turning left (I put enough on the ball that I don't need it making a left turn).
254, 238, 237 out of the box.

Anybody looking for a new benchmark ball would love this ball (especially speed/rev dominant players)

I've been bowling for 18 years and I must say that this is the hardest hitting monster of a ball that I ever thrown. The continuation through the pins is just amazing. All I have to do is sniff the pocket with this ball and it's almost as if an atom bomb is dropped in the pit, literally obliterating every piece of wood on the pin deck.
About Me:
Tweener: 17-18 MPH, about 330 RPM
I've only thrown 8 games with this ball before (4 X 4 stacked leverage with pin above ring finger and MB next to the thumb), but it holds so nice and kicks out the 10 playing as deep inside as possible and if I play outside...LOOK OUT...Ball gives a whole new meaning to 10 in the pit (I've always thrown 16 and decided to drop down to 15 with this being my first run with a 15 pounder...so take that into account when I say "hardest hitting ball EVER"). So far I've been able to bring it back from anywhere and hold a line inside. Dull it's a little too strong to play outside once the lanes start to burn up and would be interested to see if I can play there with it polished.
I'm going to try to post a video within a week.
