Anyone have one, and what do you think about them? I've was "handed" a yellow and chrome one, and I was wondering what can be done with it.

Most underrated ball ever. For a fluffer, it's possible to use it on dry. For others with hand, it's a medium light ball, and if you have way more revs than speed, then possibly medium. Awesome ball, definitely drill it up. Skid snap baby!

Not so much snap for me so it's very controllable in my 'desert house'.

Well i guess that's the difference in hand.
So that makes it even more versatile!

Well it is pretty sensitive to drill and player "specs". For me, it is very skid snap. I have mine drilled Pin over bridge stacked, and I am in the higher rev rate area, medium speed. (too much hand for my speed most of the time) It snaps hard for me. But again, it can be way different for different people. I agree with andy, deffinitly an under rated ball.

I love mine, I have mine drilled similar to BK's, pin above bridge cg stacked, and on a THS I was able to play a little swing out by second arrow. I wanted it for drier lanes so I threw on some polish and it really tamed down.

I love my Power Groove.
I play medium to light oil, and it reacts beautifully.
The other night, I went bowling with my buddy (who has the same ball), and he has fewer revs than I do, and he shot 221 with it.
Unfortunately for yours truly, I couldn't control the ball since the lanes were way tooo dry. I was taking the ball out to the gutter and bringing it back beyond Brooklyn with it.
This ball can hook with the best of them, depending on how you throw it. Like I said, I do great on medium and light oil, but no oil is tough.
Great ball, though.

The only balls in my hands are Brunswicks.

Yea just beware though, this thing sure turns hard off the dry. I mean...for me...on a THS that is real dry outside with good backends, I can stand on 35 and bring it out to the gutter and back.

How is its reaction? Consistent, or do you experience too much over under? Carry well?
For the Brunswick guys, I throw it rather hard with a decent amount of hand in the ball. I have a relatively high track. Could you suggest any drillings?

It's pretty consistent for me, and carry is VERY nice. As good as my other stuff.
Put the pin above your ring, that should give you some nice length and backend.

yes its consistent for me. That has more to do with the oil pattern then the ball it self though. Pin over ring should be good, like andy suggested.

Apparently, the ice blue was strongest, then chrome/yellow.
