I saw on a few places online whereby the Exile is being sold now at a good price (for el cheapos like myself). Just curious among those who have had this piece was it a hit or miss for you? Was it a ball better suited for a THS or actually for tournament shots?

Good ball that many use at the wrong time. This is a skid/flip piece that's very clean. When lanes break down this is where I have seen this shine. People try to use it on fresh and longer patters, but they're other pieces that are better suited for this. Most will open up lanes with Mastermind line then bump down to the Exile. If they want a smoother reaction down lane they tend to lean towards the Rhino or melee line. Overall if you want a stronger skid/flip in your bag this ball can't be beat.
