I just noticed this on closeout, for anyone who wanted to try a great new ball for upcoming league season. Just trying to help a few of you out and hope this becomes more common on here when someone notices a great deal.

Very good ball reads the mids well and has pretty good backend, just got the Nkryption code and let me tell you the backend is outrageous on it. So will post more on how I got the Nkryption and what my thoughts on that ball are after more use.

Yes there is a separation not as big as the Nkryption to the Heist though, The Code still produces alot of angle but not the alpha angles that the Nkryption produces for me. In fact all 3 have the same pin placements within 1/4 of inch total, The heist is very even arcing, then add pretty good angle for The Code and stupid backend and you get the Nkryption.

Nkryption is smooth upfront and then for me go sideways, it is like alot stronger Swarm these two balls are my 1-2 balls now in liking them out of the newer stuff.

My number one all time ball is still The Big Kahuna or Vapor Zone, still have 3 BK's and 2 Vapor's.

Finally got my Code #2 on the lanes tonight during league. It is drilled the same as Code #1 but the pin is 3" instead of 4". The pin may be a tad higher than Code #1s.

Code #2 is not as early as Code #1 was but it is early enough to give me a reaction shape I didn't have until now.

Compared to my Heist which is drilled Rico it gets far more length and makes a stronger move in the backend. So these two compliment each other better than Code #1 which was to be expected.

I'm really digging this ball, it's so buttery smooth in the mids, it gets through the heads easy enough, and is so controllable for me. It is more versatile and easier to use than Code #1 was. I can see where the ball is headed and what it will do as soon as I let it go. I also love the release versatility I can get now to fine tune my reactions. Also unlike Code #1 I don't need a lane shine for optimal performance.

The power at the pins and carry is also little better than the first, seems to store a little more energy to definitely kick out ten pins, not trip them up.

Really trying hard here not to pick up the Nkryption Code but I don't know how long I can fight it.

Watching Anthony throw the Code last night and kicking the crap of out the pins (723 or something like that?), made me wonder why I sold my Code. He is correct when he says it's versatile. As the lanes were starting to dry up he just squared up a little more and added speed and a little more tilt with his release and baboom, there were pins flying everywhere (it almost looked like someone was dropping pins from above the rack

). The reason the Code didn't work as well for me is it rolled too soon in the mids with my slower speed.

Anthony....I think I decided to get an N-Code this week. You know you want one too

JS the NCode would be better for you I think, longer and stronger it will force you left some but the ball always makes a hard move to the pocket.

Barry....if you have an UpRising, how does the N-Code compare to it?

John loves to play left so if that's the case this ball will fit right in for him.

Like Barry said utilize it's strength and try to get the most length and backend out of it.

I don't know if it would be overall stronger than your Uprising but you may be able to work with it.

I am not sure I will buy one I have other equipment that gives me similar reaction shapes. Believe it or not I can't really use my Pluto because there isn't enough oil for my line.

Oh it's as strong in the backend of the lane as The Uprising, it is a slight step down from the S-75 only because the S-75 has more grit under the compound polish.

So do you probably need the N-Code??? Probably not but it is one of the best balls put out in a long time. My favorite AMF ball so far, smoother than the Break and handles more oil with just as many boards covered in total.

I would call the N-Code 2 boards stronger than My Uprising, it never squirts like the Uprising has done on a few shots.

Everything i am comparing is at box finish, so if you changed the Uprising I could not say what it would be.

Thanks for the insight Barry.
