If you're waiting to hear all the bad news about the AO before you buy one, you're wasting your time! This ball is amazing, i have to start standing where i normally stand in the 3rd game when the lanes dry out, it's a beast! Don't worry, it hooks and carries!! Go ahead and get yourself one for christmas

This ball really is one of the finer peices out of syracuse right now, the ball flat out floats thru the heads, gets very decent length and is just davastating on the pins, watched guys last night playing similar lines to me leave ten pin after ten pin after 8 or 9 pin and i just tripped shots left and right. I can use this all three games (39 ft top hat decent volume, buffed to 41) and this ball lives in the oil, cover is at 4k abralon no polish, I cant get the ball out too soon or I am crossing over all night, but ride the oil line and Ive not seen anything current that runs with it, the guys playing the widow pearls and venoms have no where near the recovery I see with this ball, no where near the hook on the fresh and no where near the control I see on the carry down, very very nice piece to the lineup, this ball has replaced my cherry c/2 in the bag for back end reaction and playability

This ball IS THE REAL DEAL, it is a monster, but a usable monster, I have been able to use it all three games every time out so far.

Just got mine today, along with the THS, BB/R, and Super Nova. I cannot wait til Fridy to throw it. I looked at the layouts that the ever imoressive Doug Sterner used, and I am excited. I can hardly wait to give my rave about it since I match up so excellent with the Lane 1 stuff. Again, no words can describe my gratitude to Richie, Chuck, Doug, and the entire lane 1 Family for their service and friendship. I hope I can continue to represent you all well.

Trig,

He used the Mo Pinel system using 55 degree x 4 x 45 degree. CG is sung out a little so that it is at 11 and 4.

0 0*

cg
wh
0

3/4" weight hole on VAL, 2" below PAP (box finish)

Weights are as follows: GW: 15 1/2 SW:+3/4 FW:+3/8 TW: 0

I am sure that DOug can elaborate more if he reads this. I hope to sub Friday so that I can give a first time evaluation.

Trigger....Dave tends to like his CG kicked out a bit to help get the ball rolling due to his ball speed.

So I did a basic 4" pin to PAP with cg kicked out to about a 4" to PAP. If using Mo's Dual Angle set up it's a 55* x 4" x 45*. The ball should rev strong and still maintain a strong backend reaction.

Also I left the ball in box finish for him to try out....we'll see.

similar to mine, I started with a 3" pin, I normally layout with the dual angle, but honestly, this time didnt feel like jacking with it, put the pin in the ring finger, towards the top of the ring (you can actually see a very small part of the pin, stacked the cg right below, so for me it ended up being a 4.5 x 4 drill 15/16 finger, 1/2 side, no weight hole, and it does exactly what I wanted, took the surface to 4k abralon no polish, allows me many many lines to the pocket

You guys keep hyping this ball up. I have too much and and not enough speed for this one. But HYPE it up, that way the other end of the line gets put on sale earlier, because of lack of sales, then I can stash my case of Liberators and Chainsaws.

I have never thrown a ball as controllable as the chainsaw. I have had it 2 weeks..and have already thrown 8-9 in a row 4 times at a minimum.

never had this consistancy before.
