I just bought my son the Orbit Extreme sky blue. He just made 11 and he's a junior bowler and has been bowling just 1 year. I had a deal with him that when he gets his first 200 game, I will get him a ball of his choice. He bowed a 203 3 weeks ago, so that day, we went into the proshop and asked the operator to recommend a ball for him. He suggested this ball and my son said ok. Out of all the pretty pearl balls that he could choose from, plus his friend just picked up a "pretty" Twisted Fury, I was surprised that he wanted the Orbit Extreme. He just got it this past Thursday and threw a few practice games with it and he just loves it! Very nice ball reaction, much stronger that his Tropical Storm, and the ball hits very hard. He has a 119 average, and his first game was a 124. Finished with a 155, 160, and a 179, all way above his average. I'm glad that he made a choice based on the proshop operators opinion (I showed him some of the reviews on this ball and other balls as well) and not just wanting to get a ball with "flash". Now I got to get him a 2 ball bag.
