COMMENTS
Since this ball is a step up from the Versa Max, i opted to use the same layout as my Versa Max, only utilizing a slightly higher flaring pin position, and when I say slightly I really mean it, as it was only 1/4" stronger.
The Maxxed Out really serves it's purpose. While I love to use my Versa Max anytime I can, it's just not enough sometimes on the fresh with it's super clean cover, so the Maxxed Out fills that void. It's really a pretty simple idea; same reaction with more hook.
On the 41' USBC White Pattern, the maxxed out is roughly 6-3 stronger than my Versa Max. The motion is nearly identical. It doesn't get much better than that when going through transition. Even though this ball is stronger than the versa, it doesn't limit your ability to steepen your angles. Since our 41' White pattern plays fairly slick and most people play further right to start, this allows me to use this ball all 3 games of league night without having to switch to the Versa. On a condition that breaks down quicker and requires faster moves inside, I then have the ability to go to the Versa if the Maxxed Out quits hooking. Although I have not encountered that problem, I definitely look forward to that option come tournament time.
While I thought the Versa Max fit that "first out of the bag" spot for me, The Maxxed Out has one-upped it. It is definitely my new benchmark ball and I'm sure many league and tournament bowlers will be saying the same thing in no time.
