I drilled a 15lb Evo for a young man(18 y/o) that helps me in my pro shop last night! His pap is 41/2 x 3/4 and I used the label drilling, which he wanted because this is going to be his bench mark ball. He has a 190+ average and just moved up to the adult leagues several weeks ago. The ball rolled really smooth and clean thru the heads and midlane, but made a very hard arc at the break point and had a very hard hit. The ball really impressed me with the smoothness and still hit hard with great carry. He didn't set any records, but shot about 640+ with a 180+ second game and he admitted that he waited to long to make a move left. We run a longer pattern (42') than most houses in the area, but the pearl reactive cover still had great recovery, plus we only strip the lanes once a week on Sunday nights! Before all of the Lane #1 critics get on here, no I'm not a Lane #1 guru or only use Lane #1. This is the first Lane #1 stuff that I called Chuck about and I got a case of them from him and being in the bowling business for a lot of years I wanted to post something positive about a ball that I think is a great piece of equipment! Thanks Chuck for the deal on these Evo's, Bruce
P.S.
I have used and still use a lot of other company's equipment, Track/Rising, Kinetic, Temper, Roto Grip/Cell(no it hasn't died)Odyssey x 2 my favorite R/G ball, Pluto, Horizon solid, Mystic, L/LM/Sting(favorite particle),Sure Strike(rico and rolls smooth and great), Yeah Baby, Big Kuana, Buzz, Morich/Awesome Finish, WMB, Seek and Destroy, Dynothane/Blk Vendetta(rico and my dry lane ball and ten pin ball, because of smoothness).
