Well I received my new beauties yesterday and drilled up 1 tonight to see how it rolls... It is definately a STRONG rolling piece and it is a ball that I have been looking to add to my arsenal.
I drilled my ball with pin above the bridge & CG in middle of the midline (my PAP is 5 1/4), which I wanted to get a stable drill pattern for me that allows me to see how this ball rolls. I have an Acid with the same drill pattern that I use A LOT (500+ games) and I can say that this ball for me was about 8 boards stronger than my Acid at box finish. The Jacked rolled a lot earlier than the Acid with a strong, yet controllable backend movement. THS that we bowl on at South Point Casino is about 39 feet and I tried to play in the oil with this ball (4-5 arrow) on the early 7pm league, but it was too strong for THS. This ball definately needs oil to perform at what it was designed for heavy medium-heavy oil patterns.
Looking forward to use it this Saturday night during our 5 gamer modified house shot tourney (more volume of oil) at South Point and will follow up with another review on Sunday.
From what I have seen so far with this ball... This will definately be a ball that will have a lot of use in my bag for the PBA leagues (Shark/Scorpion) and the heavier Kegel patterns.
