Ok, before I get everything underway let me say that this Goliath is the REAL DEAL! I didn't want to post a real review because it would just get buried by idiots and their 3 line reviews so this will stay around longer and be of much more help.

Player Profile
Right handed
16.25 speed at 50 ft.
330-340 avg rpms(Was working on more revolutions tonight, estimated around 400-410)
Lower track(PAP at 4 3/8ths over 1/8th up)

-Center Profile-
Flood of oil in the middle(5 board 5 board) for 36 feet, buffed to 42.  Extremely dry outsides.  Synthetics.

-Goliath First Impressions-
Drilling: Pin(2 1/2") and C.G stacked under ring, no weighthole
*Note- this is the most dense core I've ever drilled into, It was almost hard to drill the thumb, the core was so dense.

Surface: Tried polishing it with Storm Proactashine on the spinner, was polished.  I put it in my ball bag and low and behold, when I got to the center, the thing was DULL again.  Not at the out of box 400 grit, but more of an 800 grit.

This thing is unlike any other Heavy oil ball I've ever seen.  I've recently thrown Mutant, Phenom Unleashed, and Phenom as heavy oil pieces but all of these could be thrown on fresher league patterns assuming there was head oil.  This ball is a completely different monster.  The funny thing is for this ball to hook as much as it does, it doesnt use it all up in the first 30 feet.  It has a ton of midlane roll and the hardest arc I've ever seen...EVER!(And I was watching some people around me with Oracle and it just wasn't recovering in that flood in the middle like the Goliath did).  This ball looks like a snowball rolling downhill in an avalanche.  Just keeps rolling harder and harder, getting bigger and bigger, arcing more and more.  It's such a strong arcing piece, that the hit is simply DEVASTATING.  

I know sometimes hit is overrated by alot of people when describing a ball, but I swear to you, this thing rolls so hard through the deck you will notice a distinctly harder hit at the pocket.  Flush shots hit with unbearable force, a couple of my friends were grimacing at how hard this ball hit the hole.  High hits(and trust me, there were a ton of them, this ball moves that much) were very unforgiving.  4 pins and 4-7s like it was nothing.  No mercy on the trips here.  This ball arcs and doesn't stop coming.  Light hits sent some aerial messengers and pin scattering strikes.  One shot I left the 5 pin and the head pin came off of the wall and hit the five right in the belly with the bottom of the pin!  It looked like a wrestler hitting the ropes then coming at his opponet full force with a dropkick.  I wish I had it on tape LOL.

To sum it up, Ultimate Inferno has NOTHING! and I repeat...NOTHING! on this ball in the hook department.  Instead of that one set hooking motion of the Ultimate, this thing arcs and never shows a trace of burning up.  Granted the heads and midlane were juiced, but I wouldn't recoomend this for the slightest bit of burnt heads.   In just 2 1/2 games I burnt up the shot enough for me to put the ball up because it was just too much hook and I was too deep(29) to send the ball wide right through all of that flood in the middle and get it to recover off of the 3-5 board.  This cover is very similar to Warp Zone, just a harder revving engine inside.  What an Amazing ball.  I'm bowling a sport shot at the beginning of my collegiate season that's notoriously flooded to 42 feet.  This year I shold have no problem getting something to wrinkle.

Thanks for reading.
