i never written a review before but i gotta write one about this ball..  i owned 2 amf ball..  one being the code (awesome ball) and recently the mega friction..  this ball is amazing..  ball drilled pin next to ring finger, cg kick out 45 degree and a weight hole on the side..  i bowled on a friday morning scratch league modified THS..  when i said modified usually kinda flooded with oil.  i never seen a ball that can ride the oil and snap so hard off the backend.  i was stunned.  while the other folks are complaining their ball not moving..  best ball for heavy stuff and great job for AMF developing, creating this monster!!!!!!!! 4 games series. 248-231-268-258

I have mine sanded to 4000 with storm stage 3 compound, then I have beans sauce over top for the extra length I wanted from this ball. This ball still has plenty of strength for playing up the oil line with enough cover to make a move in the back end.

I want to get this ball. This is how I bowl. I have a orange Ogre and the SS ogre. I can't use the SS because it goes to long the Orange I stand about three boards left of second dot (righty) and throw about first arrow. Basically a strait shot. The other house I stand about center arrow and throw between first and second arrow with the SS. My speed is about 14 I don't know my rev rate. I want this ball because it hooks but I don't know how to get it drilled. On the orange ogre the pin is about 4 o'clock to the ring finger and the CG dot is right above my thumb. Almost the same drill pattern on the SS. Any ideas on how I need to drill this ball? Or if I can even use the Mega Friction? It sounds like it will work for the house that I throw the strait shot.

i'm a storm guy but i threw a friends mega friction the other day on a fresh house shot.i figured i throw it since i still own an angle evoloution pearl. the pin was over the bridge and the cg kicked out about 45 degrees with a 1 1/2 inch hole on his pap. and it was still box finish, as i have no idea what that surface is but DULL. anyways, the ball for me was super early, and naturally that leads to nothing in the back. tried a couple shots at about 20 to 10 and it would not make the turn. keep in mind that i have about a 450-475 rpm rev rate. so my point is it forced me to square up, once i did that i was impressed with the roll of the ball. it reminds me alot of the trifecta that storm made some years back. with a different drilling and some more oil that ball would be a beast. i could see that ball working good on shots like  stopncrank

FWIW, (thanks to Eric T at Global/AMF)

I drilled mine last week 4x3.25 with the pin 3 above mid line.  I haven't written anything because I haven't been able to truly use the ball.  It is too much for my 2 house conditions I bowl on which is fine because I wanted this to be a Nationals and heavy tourney piece.

I do want to make a comment regarding a possible reaction some may see when using this piece.  "If" the density of oil present on your house condition is not thick or heavy enough (even on a fresh shot), this ball can give the appearance of a very smooth rolling reaction.  Not sure if this nano is the same used on the old Track Mean Machine but for some and myself, the ball would roll very evenly without much finish.  On heavier densities, the cover should shine because it will be able to store some energy for down lane reaction.

What happens is that the cover is strong enough to eat thru a lighter density in the early part of the lane so it really can't store a ton of energy for the backend.   The ball doesn't truly rollout, it just rolls evenly throughout the lane.  Just wanted to share and will post more as I can get out and try the piece on a heavier pattern, thanks.
