Well I sold two of these today and drilled one for myself, 4½ pin to PAP, pin down, 75 mass bias, No Hole. Ball rolls strong, reads the Mids and makes a sweeping arc with this layout, on fresh 41 ft THS. Playing 16 to 8. Very controllable w this layout and strength worthy of the high-end billing. I am sure a hi pin layout will be alot more skid-flip. Best of both worlds, looks to be a big hit w the bowlers. Cool coloring too!

I was looking for something to compliment the Bite on a standard THS.  My Bite works great for the first game, but towards the 10th it always starts burning up and I can't move far enough in.  I was looking for a ball that would give me the same power into the pocket with extra length to make it thru three games.

Drilling: Standard Layout (Medium Track)

Surface: Out of box

Picked up the Sauce from my local Pro-Shop a couple hours before league last Wednesday.  I was hoping to use the Sauce all three games and sure enough it worked great!  242, 236, 242 for a 720 and my first 700.  It has the length that I needed and a much more controllable line into the pocket.  I ended up moving in 10 boards from the beginning of the first game to the 10th on the third.  I average in the high 190's, the Sauce may just be the answer for getting me into the 200's.

My SHIFT wasn't handling the oil inside playing inside the first game, so I purchased this ball this week looking for something to finish stonger.  

Out of box finish hooked way to much, and much more skid/flip than I expected.  Put it in the polisher and moved a bit right, thinking if I got it in the dry earlie, it would come up.  It did virtually nothing. DOA.  I had it sanded down to 1000, and than put a little polish this time, which is the condition I have it at this point.

Very skid/flippy with any of the cover combinations I've used (even out of box), and doesn't seem to read the mid-lane as advertised.  Very sensitive.  If you bowl in league where you have bowlers spreading the oil all over the place with plastic balls, be warned.  You'll hit your mark one frame and skid right through, the next frame you might get the right reaction, and the next game it will over hook.  

I'm probably going to bring it back to the out of box finish and work with it, but if I had say tried this ball out first, I wouldn't have purshased it with this type of reaction.  Seems like more of a ball for someone rev challenged.  Widow line reads the lanes better and hooks about the same as The Sauce in my view.

I was a lucky winner of one of the balls that Hammer gave away. Thanks again Jeff!!
I selected a 15 lb one. I asked for a 3-4" pin and that is exactly what I got. The top weight was 3.04 ounces. I drilled it pin under the bridge, cg lower part of the palm.
A knee injury and the threat of surgery has kept me from using this gem as much as I would have liked, but I am back and they are going to have to pry this out of my hands.
What I have found is a sweet rolling ball that has strong backend, but very controllable. Just what was advertised. I have found that the ball carries very well from various lines. I am not a rev player, but have found that I can carry extremely well even from deeper angles with this ball. something I cannot say about most stuff I have thrown. This last Thursday I had 3 strong games with it for a 770 series. I frankly carried shots that I really did not feel that I threw very well. I am waiting for the day that I throw the ball really well.
I am very surprised there are only six reviews here about this great ball. It is a winner in my book.

Here is my review of The Sauce!

Layout - 3 1/2" pin.
Layout Pic - http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c288/TheOne9110/Saucey.jpg

Stats are as follows:
PAP - 5 3/8 OVER
Speed - About 14-15mph
Revs - About 200-300rpms.

Reaction Wanted: I wanted my Sauce to just be all out STRONG. I drilled it pretty maxed out, and was hoping this ball would be my heavier oil ball!

Reaction Received: I got just what the doctor ordered, but then some problems.. My Sauce was VERY strong. Much too strong for your ordinary house shot! I did notice this would be a good ball for carrydown, though (which my Tuesday league has a lot of carrydown from the older folks). So, the first Tuesday I have the ball, I think.. "hey, maybe it will work wonders".. There ya have it, the ball was clean through the heads, ignored any bit of carrydown, and just had one hard arc to the pocket. That day I shot my first 300 and first 800 (804) series! I loved the reaction to death!.. Well, speaking of death, the ball did die in about 20 games. I did revive it using a hot water bath, but it's still not as midlane reading as it used to be. The ball is now finished at 500 grit abralon + Beans' Secret Sauce. It gets down the lane easier, but it's smoother, and even more controllable (sometimes just squirts and doesn't hook much at all, though).

Overall: This ball lived up to my dreams, but had a hard downfall. It's like a love/hate reaction now for me, yet, it is definitely more usable on a house shot when it kicks the bucket! Just make sure you know how to bring it back to life. I still do use the ball all the time, and it's sure getting its' usage.

I hope this review helped in some way/shape/or form. If there's any additional questions on something i missed, or something you would like to know, then LMK! The ball is amazing, and a great release from AMF!

Thanks to Beans for drilling it! Thanks for reading!

Home of the Secret Sauce!

Bought this ball last year February. Got the pin placed to the right of the ring finger. I'm a power stroker with 17-18-19 mph and roughly 400 revs.

Hooked early to begin with. Had to adjust, especially because my previous ball was a Black Widow Pearl.
Now, I toss this ball all the time. It hits like a truck. Brooklyn throws strike all the time.
My highest series with the Sauce is a 784, and my high game is 299. Hit solid left the 8 pin.

Grab this ball for medium-heavy to heavy conditions.
But make sure you take care of it. My Sauce started to die out on me and left a bunch of ten pins. Got it resurfaced and baked. Good as new.
