Drill 70 x 5 1/4 x 35
Pin Above the bridge

AMF hits a home run.  This is the ball I have been waiting for from them.  Finally a ball the picks up the mid lane enough to keep it from squirting through the Breakpoint and still has a enough guts to get back from just about anywhere on the lane.

The strength displayed from the F77 cover is amazing.  I had to polish it up so I would be able to use for more then just the first game of league.  My House shot is considered by most to be slick and out of the box I was already targeting 4th arrow with the ball and it was still over hooking a bit.  A quick trip to the spinner for a light coating of shine and this ball came to life.  3rd arrow out to 6 and the ball roared back and sent pins everywhere.  For those of us who are not rev dominate this type of pin reaction is nice to see.  The ball flared up to about 5 inches on this drill which is more then I thought since it is a symmetric core without and x-hole.

Looking for a good first out the bag ball that will take you through the night as long as you chase the oil line in.  Give the AMF Darkness a whirl and you wont be sorry..

Thanks AMF/900G for another great product.

The new AMF Darkness what a versatile ball, this ball has the F-77 solid coverstock and Dark Tower Symmetric core with an enhanced flip block and a lower RG and a higher differential. This a go to ball that works on ANY condition. I laid this ball out with a 4” X 4” X 1” my PAP is 5 3/8 right and 1” down. This ball is very strong thru the middle to the back of the lane and what a backend this ball creates, it just keeps on coming. I used Darkness on the 52’ Badger pattern and dropped the surface down to 500 abralon, I was impressed on how it handled the pattern it actually gave me a little miss area. I then took the Darkness surface back to box 4000 and used it on the 40’ Wolf pattern and it really shined on this pattern with a 669 series. The only thing left to do was polish it, and that is what I did and used it on a 39’ broken down house pattern and the Darkness never let up. That’s why I said what a versatile ball; it fits any style from the high rev player to the low rev player and is a must addition to any ones arsenal.

Drilled this ball Pin under ring finger. Bowled on wood first night and it got to the mid-lane and went left. used for 2-games and and had to put it away. Next night I used it on syntethics and it was smooth as silk, read the mid-lane stood up and had a smooth arc to the pocket. Shot 737. now that I have a few games on it has calmed down but still has plenty of hook,just a little smoother off the spot. This ball with its F77 COVER (4000 grit finish)is probably the versatile ball ever made by Amf. I drill one for friend of mine and he he hasn`t shot under 700 with it for 2-weeks. Ilove the way the stands up and gets into a heavy roll and never stops. Great ball for all types of players from the crankers can move way left and the recovers or the tweeners can play straighter without it overhooking.  WELCOME TO THE DARKNESS.

COMMENTS
One of the smoothest, most controlled, predictable ball I have ever thrown! No matter what condition I used the Darkness on, what I got was a nice midlane read with a strong backend reaction. The ball motion overall is a very strong arch. I can use it from any angle and still score. Up the boards, no problem. Ball track, no problem. From deep inside of 3rd arrow, you guessed it, smooth as silk. For a ball to have this strong of cover and still be effective from deep and during transition, that is unheard of. I don't leave home without it! This ball is very drill friendly and will easily be one for all bowling styles. Old reliable!
