I think coming off the side of this ball tends to delay its initial move and even it out paradoxically. A lot of folks who call themselves tweeners do seem to have success, but only if their rev to speed ratio isn't too high and if they don't have too much forward roll. It also rolls out or loses energy at the pins for my style and styles like mine. For some folks, it has absolutely kicked. For others, ping, ping, ping....
