i felt this ball was great to start left and keep it deep inside, when the outside was just trash i would stand way left and keep it in. had mine at 1000 abralon no polish, pin under the bridge about 4 1/2 away from my axis. so overal, if the lane played for it, the ball was money.

Versatile piece, rather arcing. With PK18 solid as a base, you cannot do much wrong. With some surface prep and the right drilling you can do a lot of things with this piece. A very good value-for-money offer, just easily overlooked and as a color version of the Nemesis before with some bad rep among ball connoisseurs.

Friend of mine needs help from the ball to finish as he has very few revs... and the ball is exactly what he needs...

Out of the box it is very strong, and handles flatter patterns very well because it doesn't jump.  Mine tamed down a lot after 40-50 games, but is still very good on short patterns from outside, like the Cheetah


I guess it will just need a little surface refreshment (not a complete resurfacing!), and maybe an oil extraction in the hot water bucket. With the open 800 grit OOB coverstock, tracking out and oil absorption, especially on juicier shots, should be kept in mind. 50 games sounds normal for such a type of ball.

Awesome ball!  Early reading cover and a good core design.  When the Activator coverstocks want to go too long, this one will usually do the trick.

What I noticed was the med rg/med diff core let me drill it with the pin in the 4.5-5" range and keep surface in the 1000 abralon range. The ball didn't over react like this and it was versatile. I tried it with 4000 and it wasn't as strong thru the pins.

I would definitely say it is a ball that can you can keep dull and use on both sides of medium with some tweaks to release and angle thru the fronts.
