Benchmark ball for me too. On a THS I can constistantly play an outside line with this ball, generally up there boards 10 to 5 type swing. Have played deep with it though, belly it out there and no problem on the return. Numbers are close to the clutch but a way different look, never seems to over react on me, and i can trust it to finish. Pin under bridge layout, no weight hole. always seems to make it back with a healthy pop on the back. i would compare it to the thunder series, Fast/Furious, T-Roads. For lane #1 probably something like the THS.....but way better
