The Melee is going to be the ball you will get the most use out of.  As a tournament player, I am looking for control, predictability, and versatility.  This ball gives me all 3, it will work on everything.  The ball motion I got out of the box was too clean and too long, I knocked the polish off with 500 and 1000 pads and so far this ball has given me a look on everything I've bowled on.  The solid cover stock is extremely clean so do not hesitate to scuff it up.  For those of you who liked the Versa Max, you will love this ball.  This is the perfect benchmark ball.
