I just got my new Link S30 drilled up, and I've got to say that I'm surprised that there's not much talk about it here... Granted, I know that many that post, if not most, hone their game on house shots and in house shot leagues, but surely even they run across dry conditions where this ball is effective.
I'm bowling in 2 collegiate tourneys in Vegas over the next week, and the expected pattern is the Cheetah, meaning that it should open up quick and cause a move to dry lane equipment. I've bowled about 20 games or so with this ball on the driest available conditions over the last couple of days, and it is the most impressive dry lane ball I have had punched. Low game of 212 (today), overall average of 232. This ball gets down the lane clean, but turns and hits like a damn truck.
If you ever, ever, ever see dry lanes, pick one of these suckers up... I've got drill pattern 3 on it, which is a weak drill, but its still got plenty of hit...
