Yes, this ball is very strong in the midlane. It does have a hybrid cover using the cover from the Vow and the cover from the Oathe. Same weight block as used in the Eruption line which has been ever so popular. I think its release was a little close to the Orang ball (Eruption Pro) so it kind of got over shadowed. But yes, this ball rolls great with a heavy roll, strong arcing motion. You can also shine it up for a little length. I have two, one with surface for heavy oil, and one shined up so I can move in a circle the lane.
