Suppossedly dead about seven years ago they all said.

Pulled mine out and tatooed some of our better bowlers yesterday for a few games.

Have kept mine lively with a lot of reaction by never using real sandpaper on these old particles.  Just scotchbrite!

If one wants a go straight small midlane reaction and then a strong backend reaction these balls with lower flare like .36 are a lot like today''s Twisted Furies and the like!

These balls with these types of specs are definitely an asset over strong midlane balls when used at the right time!

Still a great place for some of these old particles....especially on the left!

REgards,

There has never been such a thing as ball death, just another spot in the bag!

I don't know about a great and awesome ball.  Mine's seemed pretty dead for a while now.  But maybe I'll pull it out this week since I don't seem to be getting along with anything else.

I''ve used mine all the time when I come to this house....almost always works.

Still has great backend!  Funny specs are just a ever so slightly weaker in the core than my Violet Prozone which was an ongoing favotite in this house!

Except for occasional sabaticals from the game I think this has been in the bag on and off for about 7 years!

Much like the ProZone Violet I will get in times where I can''t miss the pocket and have every bit of recovery one could expect. But sometimes it just won''t carry on big strings....can''t get the 300 with this pocket pounder either!

Of course I may create some of the recovery!

Bottom line this thing drilled 4 3/4 pin to pap....goes straight to the breakpoint no arch then a hard angular slerve (hard right in my case)!

It has the same reaction it has had since I purchased it!  A LOT!

Regards,


Luckylefty
