I picked-up this used 15lb pin killer from a fellow Ballreviews member, as I’ve wanted to try a ball with the soaker coverstock. Its drilled pin above ring with the CG kicked out about an inch past the ring, no weight hole. This ball is a killer on the house shot I bowl on, and allows me to play my preferred line (20 out to 10). It's clean through the heads, makes a smooth but VERY strong move in the mids, and flips HARD on the backend destroying everything in its path. As long as I can find oil, I can play it. The Element's high hit's just explodes the pocket, sending pins flying everywhere, same goes for light hits too! I like it keeps the pins low, sometimes... It does what it wants to the pins, including making them cry.

It's the hardest hitting ball I've ever thrown, next to my Thing of course. It does like to be rolled straight up the back, sort of dislikes too much side roll though. I’ve played it on a variety of different shots and have found it to be very forgiving for me. It will drive too hard sometimes and leave stone 9’s and 8’s. You have to watch it though, otherwise you'll start to leave ringing 10’s if you get sloppy on the release (What ball won’t?). I’ve shot some of my highest games (on league and off) with this green and orange beauty!!!
Some points about it:
Make sure to give it room, this bad boy will HOOK, as long as you give it ‘some’ hand.
As long as you can find oil, you can play it.
It’s very versatile and can play a variety of different shots.
I've found it to give the best reaction when the coverstock is at 800.
I could see this ball being drilled to fit just about anybody’s game.
Soaker coverstock does exactly what it says it does.
WOW!!!
