COMMENTS
If you liked the Moxie, introduce the Respect! Wow! does the Alert 79 Hybrid coverstock make a pronounced backend move. When the Moxie is a too early or isn't finishing well, put the Respect in your hand and keep on striking. This ball worked well on all fresh oil shots I bowled on. Definitely not a light or short oil ball. The ball motion is very predictable, but does have some backend kick to it. I initially had some over under reaction with the OOB finish (1,500 Grit Polished), but found a more consistent reaction by changing the surface to a NEAT "T" pad (4K) dull. Man did this liven up the ball reaction for me. It gave it a touch more midlane read and a better backend move. This ball definitely works well on oil. Go and get one and earn some Respect!
