SURFACE PREPARATION:

COMMENTS:
The Big Curve definitely has a Big Curve.  My first impression of the ball is it needs oil and the more the better. Big and bad turning hard in the midlane and finishing violently on the backend. The color pattern had lots of people interested in finding out what it was. Great ball for when the Curve just isn't enough cause it's about 5-10 boards stronger. More to come in the following weeks once I get some more games on it.

That color pattern looks like afterbirth.

Looks hideous.

I thought it was going to be white, with pink swirls.  Like... a Jigsaw, or Corner, but with pink.

Not... that.

Agreed, this is the ugliest ball I've seen in a long time.  But I'm sure all the Lane 1 junkies will buy it up...lol!  You couldnt give me a new one.  If you did, I'd turn around and sell it and get something else....lol!

It may not be as "Pretty" as some of the balls that you ladies like! It can look like a turd rolling down the lanes and as long as it hits and hooks like this beast does, the opposition will be crying! And Iwill be laughing all the way home!
