This ball is really good. After throwing it on fresh and broke down lanes, this past week in Vegas, it is a super versatile ball. Even with a strong layout, it allowed me to really square up to the lane and play straighter through the front part of lane.
I just rolled mine for the 1st time today and all I can say is WOW!!! this ball is very under rated as far as im concerned. I saw 6+" of flare on mine and the ball didnt stop rolling all the way threw the pin deck on a fresh shot high road pattern....... drilled mine pin over ring 3/4" 35 X 5.5 X 25
Regarding the original post, I know it hasn't even been released, I can't see how this ball is already underrated? With the exception of the staffers, the general public hasn't had a chance to throw this ball yet.
Also, how is the ball drilled that it gives you 6"+ of flare? I know the undrilled stats indicate a diff of .030 and flare potential is 3". I can say with my stronger layout, I saw around 2-3" of flare. A few times I saw a bit more than 3", but overall, nothing more than 3". I don't think I have a super amount of hand and even a few guys that I know having a lot of hand, they too had no more than 2-3" of flare. For a low flare ball, that is exactly what I saw and got.
I'm not trying to stir up the pot here, but I feel like the comments of 6"+ of flare might be inaccurate. Just my 2 cents.
