What a nice little ball this is. When I got mine, I decided since I'd never drilled an aggressive cover really weak, I would try that here. So pin went over the middle, CG went just outside the grip area to the negative side, and I left the cover in box finish.
Tonight at league, I was able to stay with my this ball until the 27th frame. And when I changed, it was to a Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle -- a urethane pearl. I hope that demonstrates how wide the range of conditions were that I was able to cover.
Not only were the lanes breaking down around me and I wasn't really affected by it, but one of the guys on the team we were bowling has, for years, thrown a White Dot right up 15 at the pocket. Why he won't go with resin, I don't know. He's accurate enough to make it work. But either way, he has the affect of pushing carrydown right into the breakpoint every night (which is one reason why I bet his whole team averages 30 sticks less in their third games every week/year).
So anyway, what a bargain. $68 ball on eBay, and I now have something that I can use on anything from fresh to very broken down to carrydown. Full review coming soon for those that want to read it.

I bought this to be smooth off the dry, and boy was it. I gets a fair amount of length, reads the mids well, and has a smooth arcing backend. I haven't had a lot of fantastic games (outside of a couple 3's), but it gives me a consistent reaction that works well on oil and dry alike. Carry is great as well.
I already bought another, and pending approval, I may try to pick up a couple more for reserve. This is a ball I don't want to do without...

I need more revs...and more weight. I mean, 15# is fine, but 135# doesn't do me any favors!!!
