I got out to a different center today and threw a few more games with the Benchmark. Not fresh oil, actually leftover from the night before, synthetic lanes, but the backend was pretty clean.
All I can say is that this ball is a great ball! Gets through the heads very clean, reads the dry, and makes a nice arc to the pins. Awesome continuation through the pins and a very consistent roll.
This is actually my very first C300 ball, and I love it so far!
I know it sounds like I'm in denial, but I'm not.
