I was looking for something for dry lanes with a little more pop on the back end besides a urethane ball. My local proshop had about eight of these way in the back because he couldn't sell the remainder he had in stock. Lucky me. My Spirit II is about 15.3 or 4, with about 2oz top weight and is perfect for the house I bowl in. House shot, three and out is out of play. Twelve to about five or four using an aggressive ball the reaction you get is sideways. My Spirit II is drilled straight up, with a 2" pin directly above and centered between my ring and middle fingers. I'm a lefty, ball speed is about 18 or 19 mph with medium to high revs. One league night a week (3 games per week) I'm holding steady with a 227 avg. I think I can pull two or three more pins by the end of the year for 229 or 230 with this ball for the house condition I’m bowling on. Playing about eight to four or around nine to five I get effortless length out of this ball with good recovery for a house with fast back ends. My Spirit II stays polished. The reaction is similar to the Pearl Mica Beast, but with an additional 2 boards at the end of the lane. If you're looking for something for dry lanes with good carry the Spirit II is a good choice if you can find one.
