The Sauce was a very smooth controllable ball. It was definitely made for heavy oil, however there has to be heavy oil in the front part of the lane in order for it to work properly. This ball was very good of flat patterns as it never overreacted. It all depends on what exactly you are looking for, if you want something with some backend this is probably not the ball for you. If you want a ball that reads the mids and is smooth and predictable then you cannot pass this up. Hope this helps
