I am a novice bowler avg. about 160 I got an addiction this summer ,a friend was bowling with an aggression and I was really impressed with its reaction and carry power. So I figured the next bell in the series should be better,boy was I wrong. For the first three weeks I was bowling 180 and above ,wherever I bowled wherever I put the ball on the lane it got back to the pocket and carried everything, I thought I had finally found what I was missing in my game,but I was wrong ,it was as if the ball died or something it lost all reaction and became a perfect ball for leaving the ten pin to practice.I have had it dulled ,polished,deoiled,and laslty redrilled ,I dont know much about drilling so I cant offer in reference but I hate this ball!!!I have seen other people bowl with it and they feel the exact same way. I dont suppose the people from ebonite offer refunds or recants to all the hype I have read about this ball and how aggressive it is and all but I strongly recommend to anyone considering purchasing this ball to reconsider, I
 have an old turbo-x that covers twice as many boards as this ball this is my weakest ball and is only good for spares,I was recently told by a very good bowler ,(233 avg.) not to take this ball anywhere and try to be competetive
