The sublime Focus brings back the Immersed AI core paired with the new Reserve Blend 804 Solid coverstock. Sources have told me that this coverstock has nano particles in it to give that added traction in the heavier oil conditions.  I drilled this one pin down to give me the ability to play straighter angles through the front of the lane while still giving me that strong midlane read.  This sublime not only gets through the front well, but has great continuation.  On my 44ft house shot, it was great on the fresh as expected.  The solid coverstock blended the lane really well and had great pin carry.  It also provided a lot of control which is what is needed on the fresh.  When the front part of the lane broke down, I was able to move in more with my feet but to keep up with the pin carry, I needed to slow my ball speed down.  This is pretty typical for a strong solid coverstock bowling ball.  Balling down to the original sublime after the focus would be the most ideal situation for this ball once the focus becomes too smooth down lane.  The most ideal conditions for the focus are the fresh for a typical house pattern or medium to longer sport patterns where there is a lot of oil volume.  This would be a great step up and smoother option than the original sublime.  Compared to the Harsh Reality Solid, the focus will be about 4 boards weaker overall and have a little better continuation.
