I been throwing different ball companys and doing ok avg about 215 but, really wanted a skid snap ball after looking around I picked up the Thing Returns. WOW is all I can say !! AllAirForceOnce is correct when he said they put an addictive chemical in them!!! Once I stuck my fingers in it I can't put it down! Ball is amazing! Being new to DT,is the soaker cover durable? I clean the ball after every set so I hope it lasts. Can the CM be polished and drilled to be skid, flippy? If not can someone tell me what ball will be skid,flippy that can handle carry down better then my TR? Thanks everyone. IF YOU ARE NOT HAVING FUN THEN QUIT!!
