Mine rolls great. Clean through the heads and angular on the backends. Just what I expected.

Yep. I like mine. Definintely different than the other balls in the c system line, but mine found its place in my bag. I know a lot of people have had more success after knocking some of the shine off it.

Definitely like mine.  Shot my all time high 3 game set a couple weeks ago on the #1White pattern.  I don't see the big backend like others have but that's probably a combo of oil pattern and layout.

Mine's working out great.......definitely different than the other balls in the C-System line. Great length and an angular backend reaction.

I like mine a lot.  The C*(System) 4.5 really shines when the lanes break down and you need something that gets down lane and still have enough for the backend. What don't you like about it?  Maybe you should try adjusting the surface by knocking the shine off of it.

The ones I have seen in league look like they are a perfect match to the conditions. I suppose that means they will not be well liked by the guys and gals going to the tournaments:)

Its my benchmark ball in my bag. Its always the first ball out of my bag. Very contolable back end and gives me a good read on what direction I need to go (ball up, down etc....).

The 4.5 is a ball that I prefer to use once the lanes have broken down.  It is not designed for anything more than medium oil and IMO is more suited for lanes with a little carrydown.  Not the first ball out of my bag, but definitely an option for later in the day.

I like mine, nice control ball with enough pop in the backend to kick out the corner pins. Hits hard too. I agree that this ball is good for when the lanes break down and you need a controllable ball that will get down the lane clean. It probably shouldn't have been marketed at their highest price point when it first came out, but maybe a lower price point closer to their Revolver line would have helped with it's perception and what it is designed to do.

I love mine...I own 4 of them...2 are drilled and 2 are just in the box....really nice reaction...smooth thru the fronts and a very aggressive reaction on the back end.....similiar to the Smash Zone but even faster off the spot for me.

Nice ball on house shots, not so good on flatter tournament conditions.
