This is one strong piece. I've always been a fan of simple cores. They match up to me very well and it's easy to manipulate roll. I had a Crossfire that worked really well on lighter volumes but wished it was a little stronger. Luckily, my boy DP3 got hold of one so I was able to see how strong it really is. Well, I decided to try it out. Because of the simpler core and lower diff, I went with a very strong layout for me. Pin below fingers 4.25" from axis with xhole on line through CG on VAL. Hit with 4000grit Abralon. It has large amount of flare but not really early which is perect.
Subbed in a house that's notorious for having a longer medium-heavy pattern with little backends. Strong covers are normally needed to fight the oil downlane. I've had my best look with Activator (AI, VZ and Classic). Ball gave me a great read for all 4 games which is rare because of the breakdown in the heads and mids. Very clean but strong arc downlane. Ball never overread the breakdown but still recovered. Held it's own with several Lane #1 pieces and higher end Ebonites.
Definately a ball that I will have at least one more. At least one with a longer pin and box (or lower grit and polished), with more length and angle. Can't go wrong considering the price.
