LAYOUT: 4†Pin, 45* with X-hole on PAP
Condition 1: 36' 10-10 THS
This ball surface and layout are really aggressive. I will be keeping this ball as a condition specific ball. I will most likely try another one with a longer pin to PAP, 90*, and polished for the THS shots. Reaction- the ball burns up very quickly due to the cover/layout. I was not really able to tell much from what I was bowling on.
Condition 2: 43' Flat pattern 2000 ABC Masters pattern
With the balls surface and layout, this ball works well on this pattern. The pattern was laid down in a Summer sport league on Wood. Therefore, there wasn't a ton of friction. This ball worked well when thrown well. When I finally made the right move coupled with the right hand position, the reaction was the potentially the best in the league. The ball reved well in the mid lane and continued incredibly off the back of the pattern. I did brick a 9 on one shot. There were 5-7-10, 8-10, and weak 5's all over the place, but I was stoning 9's.
