Hello all...
Heres hoping my review of this ball will be of some use to you in your
decision to purchase

15# 3oz, Pin 3-4", Top 2 1/4oz, MB In Line With CG

BOWLER SPECS:
Right Hand, 14-15 mph, 4 3/16 x 4 1/4 Span

LAYOUT USED:
5" Pin X MB Strong, On Mid-Line, Under Fingers
With X Hole On Line from Center Of Grip, Thru CG, In Between CG
and Mass Bias (Slight Flare Reducing)

================================================

REVIEW:

Basically the layout I was looking for on this ball was
for tournament shots on fresh oil and occasionally carry down
when everything just seems to skid a tad too much.   I left
the ball box finish.   I placed the X hole in a flare reducing
position as with my slower ball speed dull balls tend to burn up
for me and was hoping this might help a tad bit with the problem.

The condition I did get to try it out on was a 2nd shift house shot.

With this layout the ball did in fact roll VERY early and had a mild
backend reaction.   Very clear that on a burnt house shot this would
never work, nor would I expect it to!  

>> Second session on Fresh Oil and Clean Backends:

All I can say is wow.  Talk about strong off the breakpoint.   What
a difference with more head and mid lane oil.   Aggressive!  Polished
this ball would be a monster on a typical house shot!

Compared to my Angular One
(4-5" Pin, 4" Pin, MB Above Thumb, No Xhole)

This ball does roll about 2-3 Feet Earlier on a fresh shot and is nearly
every bit as angular on the backend.
