I didn't use it, but I got my butt handed to me by one many times by a lefty who just sent it up the track and kicked the crap out of the pins. His was the old version, wood lanes, heavier up front, pretty good recovery, I always got forced in early on the right side, he never needed to make much of a move. I was really excited when they re-released it, unfortunately it coinsided with me being out of bowling for a while due to wrist injury and I no longer work in the pro shop, so I don't have it, but a nice piece either way.
