I am one of a few who did not like this ball. I drilled it up stacked was looking for  a hook monster and what I got was a different reaction all most all the time.Big hook for three frames Make you stand back and say wowwowwow and the next three flat as can be.Then your saying !!!!!. I bought 3, one for me and for each of my sons.The only one that is still bowling with theirs a year later is the one with the huge rev rate. All so they seem to have a short life as most bowlers who bowled with them in my league said theirs died out quickly. Having said that my son loves his and its his go to ball in  tough conditions. A lot of my league mates said it was the best ball they had untill it died out.I do believe the coverstock does not match up well with my style.I sold mine to a very good friends son. The only thing he did was replace the thumb slug and he gets very good reaction out of it. His rev rate is a good bit more then mine but style and speed is spot on.I don't know the difference other then the rev rate.I do think if you have a big rev rate this ball will work great, but if you have med to low rev rate, beware.

drilled this with the pin below and between my fingers and the mb 3in to the right of my thumb.  took the surface down to 800.

this ball is instant revs in a box.  it revs up so easily and reads the lanes early and smoothly.  it gives me a nice STRONG arc throughout the entire lane, which is nice when the lanes have a little more oil.  it allows me to open the lane up a little and create some area to throw to later in the night.

I needed a ball for when my benchmarks read too early and this thing fits that roll nicely.
 Got this ball hoping its advertised smoothness will help my control for that last game or the Cheetah. And of course the $$$. Got mine new and on the lanes for under 100 bucks. This is my 1st Brunswick ball. Have a bunch from almost every Manufacture but just getting around to trying The Bruns.
Lefty stroker ball speed 15 MPH weight 14. Pin over the bridge CG and MB kicked out slightly to the strong side.
 Took me a few games to get the cover set up for playing dry but worth the effort. The ball revs up on the ball rack but still has plenty left for the pins. Not good in the oil at all but not what mine is set up for.
 Easy to read, above average hitting power and maybe most important to me easy length, just skates past the dry fronts reads the mid just enough and makes a strong but controllable move to the pocket. I fell if you can match the cover up it will roll out nicely retaining power for the pins but to much shine it will spin right past your break point and too much cover and it will burn up at 44 feet.
 I have other stuff that if you don't want to take your whole arsenal out can do some dry and some oily conditions and not be in too bad a state but this ball is not that flexible. Set it up for the condition you know you will be shooting it on and be happy with that.
 I will give this guy an 9. Love the smooth/strong move and hitting power.

Very disappointed with this ball, especially with all the hype on it. I have tried polishing it, matte finish, and compound finish. There are numerous other balls better than this one. This ball is mediocre at best.
