I have wanted to try the Element since I bought the THING. I loved the THING and with the Element being a ball that rolls up a little sooner, I was very interested.
I recently acquired on in a trade (I didn't want to spend the money on a ball that is such an unknown to me), and got a chance to use it tonight for the first time. The conditions were really not meant to have this ball thrown, but I had my mind made up.
38ft oil, buffed to 43, and completely BONE backends. I loved the movement off of the dry boards. Very smooth. I should have bought this ball sooner. I know, I only have 3 games on it so far, but I see it as being very useable. It got down the lane really well, and it tremendous at the pins. VERY HARD impact. SO far I like every bit as much as the THING. Time will tell if it stays up there with it, but currently it will be a ball I use ALOT.
I still have a wish to see the soaker------in a particle(if it is possible) with either this core, or the THING's core.
