I've only read good things about the ball, so much so that I ordered one. Just got it last night, so I haven't had a chance to get it drilled.
I'm hoping that Drrev2000 is right....I'm a stroker and I'm hoping to have great success with this ball! BTW, it looks great!

the Orbit extreme is the BEST "$60 Ball" on the market today period...it doesnt get any better than that...the core and cover match up extremly well and provide for great pincarry and awesome performance on shorter and lighter patterns!

I ended up getting the OE drilled up yesterday. Wanted a smooth arc, so we drilled it label. My league was laying down a light, short pattern (probably about 32 feet) - I say "was" because I haven't bowled the last 5-6 weeks. Anyways, my only "light oil" ball (throttle-r) is drilled to go long and flip.
Headed to the lanes to give it a try. There was probably a little bit too much oil for the ball, but it reacted as I expected - nice smooth arc. If my league continues to use a lighter shot, I think this ball will be perfect.
Ball is very controllable. I did notice that if I cranked it it would respond.
Very smooth ball, and it had really good pin action.
Ball doesn't cover a whole lot of boards, but I wasn't expecting a hook monster. I drilled it to be smooth and that's exactly what I got. I wasn't really paying a whole lot of attention to boards, but I would say I was able to play 10 out to 7 or 6.
IMO, it's a great ball, and you can't beat the price.

Synthetic lanes. I don't think there are any wood lanes around me anymore.
It was around 3:30 Saturday afternoon. Not my normal house, so I don't know if the conditions were typical. Seemed to be a good amount of oil, and I couldn't really tell how bad the carrydown was.
I was able to use all the balls I brought, and play my "normal" lines.
I also bowled with Track Animal, Scorchin Inferno, Throttle-R, and Roto-grip Retro Resurrection.

Check out the video - www.amf300reviews.com
Can someone check and see if they can view the orbit vs orbit extreme vid in the above link? I cannot play that one and I would like to see this comparison. I have an extreme and its too strong for what I want. I just bought the regular one. Ive tried everything that I know of with no luck. I can see some of the others.
Thanks in advance
