I've been throwing 14lbs for a few years now, and I just recently got a Thing.
One word: WOW!
This ball gets down the lane very well, as long as there's at least some oil in the heads, reads the mids exceptionally well, and makes a strong, yet smooth move on the backend, and the hit is outstanding, sending as many messengers as you could want, plus keeping the pins low for excellent mix and carry. If what they say about this coverstock is true, it can only get better, as I've only bowled about 10 games with it.
I also own a V2 Particle and an SS Pearl. I still leave my share of 9's from outside lines. The only time I have any deflection problems is from left of 4th arrow, but that's probably my lack-of-hand showing there.
