I'm going to be buying a couple new rocks next week, and I was just wondering if there is enough of a difference between the Dark Legend and Scandal to warrant buying both? Nobody around has brought them out to throw yet, so I haven't really been able to see how they're acting around here.

I got to Demo both a few weeks before the WWRD. I ended up purchasing the BW Dark Legend.

I am Stroker with 21 MPH and 215 Revs.

I saw the Scandal crossing over consistently so I never quite found the right line with it. I was able to hit the pocket but it was either the wrong angle of entry or it was burning up and leaving pins standing.

The BW Dark Legend kept hitting hard no matter what. I was missing at first and it was still flattening them and when I found the right line it was pure satisfaction. I found it to be very controllable and not the most forgiving ball, but it was forgiving enough that I could loosen up my swing knowing I had a ball that would help me out a little.

I did realize later that the lanes I did the Demo on were a bit on the dry side and the Dark Legend is now my 2nd ball after starting with my C300 Meltdown. I am doing another Demo on April 10 at a different house but I expect both balls to still be there. I will update.

Keep in mind that if you want to use the Scandal, because it is so strong at factory finish, you will need to move your feet in and throw this ball away from the headpin, it's just that strong!
if you decide to buy a Scandal and it is to strong for your conditions, then you can fix the reaction by 1st adjusting the surface, going with less surface grit or by adding some polish to get the ball down the lane, it will still hook plenty, just in a differnt spot on the lane
