Hi folks , an update on my previous review.
I have this ball for about a month now and I'm getting more and more convinced of its capacities. Last time I wrote , that when I played it to the pocket it wouldn't strike. Now I finally found out how to strike hitting the pocket.
May sound stupid but it isn't. I use this ball on medium to dry conditions.
I'm a tweener , medium revs , no hook , 18mph , good back end.
Under these conditions , the ball has a late agressive back end which makes it difficult to calculate where and how it would hit.
One thing still remains the same : this ball isn't that forgiving. Still , this is going to be my number one ball. At the moment I can throw my agressive Pantera and the tamer JackHammer the same way and score the same.
Each time I use this ball , my results improve. Started with 167 the first time , yesterday I shot already 191 (left 2x the 10pin).
Ok , the way mine is drilled , it doesn't hook a board. It does have a agressive back end and it carries very well. That's the most important thing for me : the carry. Sure , hooking a ball is nice to see , but high scores are too. That was my mistake when I bought this ball. I thought it would hook and it didn't , was disappointed , tried again focusing on the back end and boom => Strike !
All in all a great ball , my best buy yet. It's discontinued but if you can pick one up , you should. Try it , you won't be disappointed. This ball is much more then a some use it as , a spareball.
-- This ball can become my long awaited strikemachine --

Control : 7 (keep concentrated)
Hit : very hard - 10
Best lane condition : medium - dry
Back end : good , can even be agressive due to the pearl-cover - 9
