My Blue Fire is 16# with 2-3" pin out drilled 1:30 label.
This ball comes in a matte finish, and has a low particle loading. I prefer to leave the Blue Fire dull, because I have a few other balls that I can use for medium to lighter oil patterns. Despite it having a particle coverstock, this ball gets through the heads like a polished ball, and has a huge backend like a pearl ball.
My test patterns were freshly oiled house shot, and medium oil with heavy carrydown. The first shot was on a wood house and the second was a synthetic. On the wood I stood on 20 throwing out to 15 at the arrows to 10 at the break. The ball glided through the oil with ease, revving up in the back of the midlane and turned the corner hard. It was also possible to shoot straighter up with less revs and more roll. On the synthetic I had to play straight up 8 with a reduction in speed to compensate for the carrydown. The ball still made a strong move once it hit some dry with little energy loss, pounding the pins on impact.
The hit and carry are as good as any other AZO ball I've thrown, with tremendous power continuing down the lane.
Overall a very good ball for first shift any where patterns.
