Well, drilled up the Clear Buzzsaw the other day and tossed a few
games with it. I was bowling on a very used house shot on lane 1 using
a lane 1.

  First impressions... this ball will actually move. So, think about
the drilling you use if your intention is to use it as a spare ball or
as a strike ball on dry.

I tossed ONLY the crystal clear buzzsaw as the strike ball and spare for
three games. First game, trying to figure out a line - 207. Second game
I was lined up - 247, third game - 230.

Here is the freaky thing. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but the pins
actually were flying every which way. I rarely have head pin messengers but
they were all over the place with this ball. I sent 4 pins back down the
alley towards me! One pin made it 3/4th of the way back toward the foul
line.

One of the lane guys came over to ask; "what the h#ll are you throwing?"

I lined-up square to the foul line and tossed between first and second
arrow and the ball had a smooth gentle arc to the pocket. I'll try it on
a fresh house shot later this week.

I'll try and take some photos tonight and post them tomorrow.

In images 7 & 8 you can see how "clear" the cover is when I put the ball
against a black colored background. In some of the images you can also see
the crazy optics it has. On some you can notice some focused light that
refracts thru th plastic and creates a "light strike & rainbow."

Personally I can hook my target zone as much as my xxxl but, my xxxl hits way better, thus gets the spot in the bag, plus the xxxl is actually hooking whereas the TZ, just makes a move

What Dr joe is seeing is an absence of filler, filler while filling the void around the core acts as a cushion as it is not as hard as the shell and not as hard as the core.  thus cushions the blow.  I firmly beleive due to the clear shell and no filler that the  crystal clear xxxl does indeed have a distictively different hit legends/lanemasters does this too

Icemquick, I might need you to come and explain all that to my wife who will be saying, "Yeah, but isn't it just a plastic ball?"

What I'm saying is I don't want to be me the night I come home and tell her how much I spent.

Do you get it now?

Trigg, "they" are going to get you for suggesting that a fillerless ball is a good idea.

no filler, more cost, no filler, longer cure time.  no filler, less room for error on the shell.  dont see it happening any time soon

  Well, I tossed it some on a fresh house shot pattern last night.
Throwing my normal and most comfortable shot with the crystal buzzsaw
lead to the ball hooking about 2-4 boards all on the back end of the
lane. So I used it as the spare ball.

Only after the night was over did the right side lose enough oil for
the ball to begin to break more (7-8 boards) over the length of the
lane.

Thanks for the update, that clears things up a bit, I'm still going to get one.
