Hi All,

I'm proud to present to you The AMF Villain Video.

http://www.videoballreviews.com/villain.html

My Take on the Ball:

This is AMF's best benchmark ball to date. Really great ball for reading the pattern and telling you what is out there. This ball will struggle on the extremes, but will cover most medium conditions nicely. So smooth and controlable off the breakpoint.

Compared to the Nighthawk Pearl, the Villain had a better recovery off the dry. They overlap somewhat on a Typical house shot, but the real difference can be seen when you get to the flatter patterns, the Villain just reads the lane better in my opinion...similar motion to a Hei$t but not as much overall hook.

I havent thrown an original Nighthawk in awhile but i would have to say this is a touch less aggressive overall and in the backend...i loved my nighthawks, and this gives me a similar motion with more control in the backend.

As i said, without a surface adjustment this ball will struggle OOB on Oil, it did OK with carrydown OOB but nothing spectacular...some surface will help with that.

Overall, this is a great starting point to any arsenal...and will be a consistent performer just like the rest of their line up!
