I had the Escape a few years back. $80 from bowlingball.com For a Pearl it started revving very fast and it was a house shot killer for me. I had a very strong layout on it 4 1/2" pin low, 45deg MB and that ball still had no quit downlane. I replaced it with a Code Black from Storm and the reactions were nearly identical. I could play steeper angles with the Code Black when the Escape started plack-10ing from way deep inside.
