The Freight Train is S77 at at E pad (1500 grit). That's a strong cover and a low grit (Nowadays). If you take it to a T pad (4000 grit), it will get down the lane better, but there is no way I can see the Freight Train being an option on "dryer" lanes. Maybe medium to heavy at the very least.

Yeah, personally, at 1500 grit, you need a flood to keep it right. I took my Train from 1500 to 4000 + polish to make it playable.

I just got done bowling on heavy oil and its a beast. I love the carry through the pins. Ill just have to use my taboo at the other ally.

I get to throw my bullet train for the first time in about a hour i hope its a smooth as the first train. Will post tomorrow how it is.

This Ball was the best deal i have ever gotten. I paid 120 for it with drilling and finger tip grips. It was used and had only five games on it plugged and resurfaced. it belonged to the proshop owner and was a demo ball for him. I cant wait to throw a 300 with it.

my bullet was laid out with pin up and and right of ring with cg and mb all in line not the most aggressive drill.but knowing what i read about the ball should have been plenty strong
i didnt drill this ball myself or even lay it  just yold them over the ph,
weighed it out yesterday for my self and its got thumb weight, now that im pissed about it i sold it
will try another one before nationals, but the new war eagle is for real

I don't mean to sound like a pompous jerk, but who cares about thumb weight? It doesn't matter one bit in a ball nowadays.
