I use this ball on brunt up conditions, or conditions where I want to play as far out as I can as the lanes breakdown. Great ball for those bone dry lanes, and it will give you more hit than the Urethane versions of the Attack Zones. Very even, no flare whatsoever, and nice hit on the backend. I have this drilled with about a 1 1/2" pin, and it is drilled directly under the middle two fingers with the CG at 12:00. Drilled it this way so the ball will do as little as possible. Always keep it in the car just in case I run into a toasty lane condition. The Attack Zone/R is also a great beginner ball for people just getting introduced to Reactive bowling balls.
