I completely agree with that. I was shocked that it happen. With a 90 degree layout with the way I throw the ball, its generally a long smooth reaction. The reaction I got was it could handle more oil than the pin up and accually picks up quicker off the friction. The cover core combo is just an absolute grand slam. I am not going to lie this ball does as advertise, clean with a strong move. Brunswick back in the day had balls that kind of started so quick in the front part of the lane that when they broke down the ball hooked and just stopped. This ball doesn't do that, accually their entire new line doesn't do that. Brunswick has come out with a lot more versatile and continuous balls. I really like the way the company is going. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
