The Night Hawk Se is a very smooth and predictable piece of equipment. We drilled mine pin down and a 4x3 drill with weight hole in the Val. This ball is very clean through the front part of the lane it compares to the Dream in my opinion. This ball glides through the front part of the lane and reads the backend very well compared to my Dream. The Night hawk has a more angular backend movement and is at least 5 boards stronger I have used on wood and synthetics. The ball rolls smoother and goes longer on synthetics and reads the friction well and on wood lanes the ball picks up a little sooner and more angular.
This is going to be a ball for various types of lane conditions from the THS to even a medium oil depending on your game. I would recommend this to be your arsenal if you loved the original Night Hawk you will love this one as well.
