LANE CONDITION

Surface:  OOB for SPORT and tried 1500 Polished and 4000 for THS
Layout:  Pin below ring finger with cg kicked about 1/2 right, no weight hole needed.

41 ft Sport medium pattern:  This ball with the OOB surface rolled pretty good on the first day playing a inside shot.  Rolled up great in the midlane with a excellent punch on the backend.  Second day the insides got burned up a lot quicker, so decided to try the ball from around the 5 board and handled the oil on the outside great.  Played that line from the outside the rest of the day and ball picked up good from the midlane and continued through the pocket with a great carry percentage.

THS:  First thing our THS is dry from 1-7 and uses Defy oil pretty heavy in the middle of lane with decent carrydown.  I have tried 1500 Polished and 4000 grit with the Moxie and just have not found a consistent read with the ball.  At 4000 grit i could play really deep or play the whole lane and get to the pocket, but carry percentage was not very good.  At 1500 grit polished I could play a little tighter line from around 15-7 and worked decent for the first games and then when the carrydown happened it made the reaction very over/under.  I will see what a weaker layout on a new Moxie will do for THS shots, but as of right now looking to be a good tournament ball, but not THS type of ball at all.

For THS I would recommend a pin up drilling for this ball and hitting the surface with a wet 4000 pad. 

The 900 Global Moxie is another very reliable ball from 900 Global.  The Moxie is gonna react the best when there is a ton of oil on the lane.  The 78 Dig Hybrid coverstock really allows this ball to to read early but still have enough energy to carry those pesky corner pins!  When your Respect is too clean through the front part of the lane this is the ball you're gonna wanna switch to!

Likes:  What a beautiful ball rolling down the lane.  The red, yellow and black swirls rotating down the lane can become mesmerizing.  This is a great ball for medium to heavy oil patterns.  If you want a ball that gives you an earlier roll without dying out on the backends then this is your ball!  The Hybrid coverstock allows this ball to get through the heads smoothly while allowing it to sustain a ton of energy to bite through carry down on the backends.  Light/heavy or even half pocket, this ball will carry when you get it to the pocket!  When it hits the pocket the pins scatter while staying low.  It hit’s like a freight train!  The Moxie very adaptable to surface changes therefore, use the OOB at first and try subtle surface changes if needed to get the desired result.  This is one of the most aggressive and highest flaring balls I’ve ever thrown.  See for yourself and order one today.

If you enjoy the roll and reaction of the Respect but want/need earlier midlane read with a more-angular backend motion, Moxie is the answer! This layout gives you a definite turn at the breakpoint; something you can rely on to make the corner when nothing else will! The solution to all your broken-down medium-volume or heavy-fresh conditions!
