I have a throttle-r, and I now love the ball. When I first got it, this thing didn't move. It would just slide all the way down the lane, and I bowl on a light to med oil pattern. Once I got a track on it, it was a different story. It gets through the heads nicely, with a good read on the midlane, then flies toward the pocket in the back. The carry is great. I have well over 100 games on it, and I'm not leaving the Columbia 10 pin that I normally see once I get a number of games on the ball. I definitely recommend this ball, but give it time to develop a track.
