I thought I could use mine for extremely light conditions, but no. It is a med to light ball at best. Don't get me wrong, it does push through the heads easier, but really makes up for it on the backend.

I used mine last night in league. After a very dismal start, 191-207-174, I went outside with an up the back release and shot 224.

Heres a pic:

Its more of a medium reaction as far as boards covered. I drilled mine up this past weak (5x3) and it was quite a surprise. Anyways, it hits hard and has a nice roll. Definitely worth the $60 that it costs.

hook 75
length 165
breakpoint shape 70
Flare potential .048
RG-average 2.9
Based on this information, it should fit in between the Punisher (which I have) and the reactive groove (don't have). I do have a red-pin waiting to be drilled. Once done, I will post a review.
