Arson
« on: July 11, 2011, 12:39:30 AM »
Now that the Arson has been out a couple weeks, what does everyone think of it?

I drilled mine pin up cg out a little. Changed surface from 2000 to 4000 no shine. This ball is very clean through the front part of the lane. The reason I changed the surface is more for control the backend more. The ball is very aggressive on the backend. This ball can handle everything from heavy to medium oil without a problem. When encountering lighter oil the ball for me picks up to fast. I throw about 16.5 and have above average revs. I have used on 39 and 41 ft sport shots and had no problem chasing the pattern in a getting the ball to read the pattern. You will not be disappointed.

One of the best symmetrical balls I have drilled in awhile..Very clean and predictable on the lane, reminds me of the Hy-Road when I drilled one a couple of years ago..Doesn't over react down lane. Was not a big fan of the sauce or hot sauce pearl...this was a  big surprise for me utilizing that core.. Works great on league conditions and I bowled very well with it this past weekend in tournament play on Kegel's Winding Road Pattern

drilled mine like i do all my symmetrical balls pin up over the fingers and cg in palm, really like this ball. very strong off the spot. My pin up taboo handels more oil but i like the look of the arson better. (so far)

 

speed:  16-17

revs:     above avg. to high

line:   inside  20 to 12

 

if i need to move further left i will go to my track 718a to open up the lane (till i get my epidemic)

HammerTech:  What is the ratio of solid to pearl on this ball?  The videos look impressive but I've never seen a video that makes a ball look bad. :)

 Urethane - I think the Arson is 2 parts solid & 1 part pearl... This ball is definitely the real deal & great rolling ball for the medium - medium heavy patterns. I LoVE this ball since it is strong in he midlane... I hope this helps!

Urethane,
 
From the looks of it the Silver and Red are pearl and the Black is solid. I just emailed Jeff to double check. Will post reply when he responds.

Jeff said the Arson is 60% and 40% solid. That should clear it all up
