LAnes were somehow different today.
My smooth arcy ICON just seemed a touch early.
My highly polished Icon 2 with its bigger backend was a squeeze, I could hit the pocket but a 10 to 3 loop was required and some hit 1 and 7 -10ed me flush!
Finally in the second game I hunted and pecked as I had a couple of opens. Finally about frame 4 I settled on the Panic. Longer more energy and if played in the oil line at 10 barely hooked and barely carried and the first few shots skidded easily and went 8 to 1 or 8 to 1/2 or shoule I tell you the truth and say 8 to 1/4 and flushed the rack.
To make a long story short. 5 bagger 9 / X 9 / ....Irritating phone call in 10th.
Gutter flat 7. 6 bagger spare X spare X.
Anyway about 13 out of 17 and had some nice smooth area.
This ball has a touch of flip too it but not much , mostly rounded smooth trajectory but will rev up and cover some boards at the breakpoint and if you find dry for it to make its move it will retain a lot of energy in its box hybrid state. Sort of pearly solid.
Very impressive for your weak ball. Bet in a solid version it would be a hell of a nationals ball better than ...... just maybe the red pulse. Just a touch stronger.

This ball will cover small swings and outside shots.
I see a lot of guys throwing or trying to throw fast at this over/under center with stronger flare stuff and I keep asking them why they are "fighting city hall?"
This little beautiful sucker is sweet! And on today's conditions better than the red pulse which a lot of guys are still using in this league!

Oh by the way, because of this Panic, I walked away with some new ball cash!
Extremely unusual in this league. Top righty 15 pins ahead of top lefty(5 guys actually) and a guy said to me before last eliminator game, the guys(righties) are on fire! You have no chance!
Me likey!
