COMMENTS:The Curve definitely lives up to the hype. My first impression of the ball is it gets through the front part of the lane nice and smooth gliding to the breakpoint, then a violent Left turn. I also took along the Massacre line to compare to the new Curve. For me the Red Death and Curve seemed to have the same overall movement, except the Red Death would start hooking sooner with less backend. The Blue Death would get more Length then the Red Death but less then the Curve and the Curve would have more overall movement. The Massacre would get similar length, but considerably less overall movement. If you’re looking for something to get through the heads clean and bite hard on the backend this is your ball…
Update: I updated the drilling pattern as my PAP has changed some. The PIN is now 3" from my PAP, the CG is now 3 1/4" from my PAP, and the MB is now 6 1/4" from my PAP. The Curve has continued to be my go to ball, very controllable with a strong bite and awesome pin action. Been scoring very well with it, seems like if I can use it all three games it''s definitely gonna be a high 600 or 700. I''ve also recently threw a 300 with it, and backed it up the following week by almost throwing another only to fall one 10 pin short.
If you are a Lane#1 fan and you don''t own this ball you need to get one ASAP. In my opinion it''s the best ball to come from Lane#1 since the C/2 core days...
