 Doug - For most bowlers the Arson will be a little on the stronger side for a new Hammer benchmark ball.... But with the pearl that is in the cover (hybrid), it will get through the front part of the lane and will give you a strong continous movement in the midlane. This bal at box surface (2000) works well for most medium-medium heavy house shot patterns (38-41 feet)' but where I bowl leagues in Vegas THS tends to be on the drier side, so I brought the surface up to 4000. This is the 1st ball I bring out in league and see what I have out on the lanes for the night. I really love this ball since it has the Hot Sauce core in it (one of my favorite balls of all time). I have seen bowlers with a lower rev rate be able to chase the oil pattern throughout the night and still strong enough to turn the corner for them. This ball is very user friendly and very versatile.

I hope this helps your question and let me know if I can help you out with any other Hammer product questions.

As stated above the ball is Very Stong. I adjusted my surface to 4000 as well and the ball is very versitile on many different patterns. I was using the Arson and Epidemic for the two different house that I bowl at. The Arson works better at the house that has a little more volume and the Epidemic works on lanes that are a little stronger on the backends. Either way you cant go wrong. Have fun.
