Length: 41 ft USBC/39 ft House

Volume: medium/heavy

Drill:  5.5 pin to PAP x 4 CG to PAP, Pin above the fingers

BOWLER STYLE:  Rev rate:  440; Ball Speed:  18

Initial thoughts of this ball, I was impressed with the recovery but it was a little over under and definitely turns when it finds dry boards.  After changing the surface to “E” 1500 pad, eureka the ball really smoothed out/earlier turn with the same recovery.  It also carried the corners very well when the solid balls were leaving flat tens. 

Even though the surface change started the ball up a little earlier I was very impressed with how I could play outside with it and still not worry about leaving flat corners.  (Stand 20, Arrows 12, break point 7-5).  This ball takes well to the surface change and extremely predictable.

If you are long for extra pop/stored energy in oil this ball will do the job.  Hard Drive earns a seat in the tournament bag!
