This ball is definitely a good ball for the beginning to mid level experience bowler. I average around 205, and bought this ball because I never had owned a particle ball before, and wanted to see how it would do.
Perhaps it's just the TPS coverstock that is to blame, or the nature of particle in general, but after 15 games this ball had lost its hook.
Don't get me wrong, it hits like an absolute ton of bricks, but it loses its hook very quick when you play an out and back line that goes through oil.
Not a bad ball though.
