My reaction so far to this ball are great. If you love the resurgence core and love the Mass Eruption, but needed something a bit stronger in the oil and more continuation from the breakpoint this is the ball for you.
I also love the way this cover takes surface adjustments, I polished one with a pin up layout and the ball clears the heads great. Tried it last night in a second shift league and had no problem clearing heads and still able to cover a lot of boards. Please let us know how you feel about this ball or the reaction you are seeing from this ball. Thanks

I watched one of the guys from the proshop roll with it after league was finished on a fresh pair of lanes. I am still waiting for the ball to stop hooking.

I'm still waiting to hear how it compares to the Smack Down

i picked mine up and threw it last night on the NATS team pattern
put the pin in my middle finger
makes it about 55 x 5 x 50
no weight hole
left it OBB finish
lefty - 375ish, higher track
ball is very rolly and predictable for me
due to the OBB finish, it did burn up the spot quicker than I thought it would on the ice oil.
I did not move in fast enough, a few shots were on the nose and I didn't move because i felt i didn't throw it well enough to warrant a move.
When i kept it on target, it did exactly what i was hoping for.
When it left the pattern, it did not over-react
It had some recovery if i missed out
continues through the pins quite well in my opinion
Afterwards in practice, i moved in even more and it was more of the same, predictable and continuous.
I should have balled down and used the friction i created with this ball
I will polish this piece and try it on my heavy volume house pattern next week
i could see having another one of these easily
