Wow this ball has a low diff.  It must not flare very much.  I'm surprised this ball can be used on heavy oil.

I have better luck with mine on dryer conditons, but not too dry. The back end on this ball is tremendous. It is very responsive to hand position changes, it will always snap hard on the back end though. If you tend to release the ball in a more up the back fasion you will have better luck than those that come around the ball.

In Bowlers Journal they spun the ball and it came to about 18 seconds. Very simillar to the Ebonite Warrior from a few years back.

I do notice one thing and that is this ball doesn't leave many smash single pins because of the lower diff. It tends to deflect more conventionally instead of drive through the pins and leave 7s, 8s and 9s all night.

This ball has an 18 sec. spin time?  That's odd.  I'm just surprised that this ball has such a low diff for a med to heavy oil ball.

I know that it's not Lane 1 choice for heavy oil.  I was commenting on the desription that says it's for med to heavy oil.  Actually BTM gave this ball great reviews.  They said that this ball is very versatile.  I like the look of this ball but was taken by surprise by how low the diff. is.  With the low diff. I would think this ball would be better for med to light oil.

Mine I can use On med to Heavy with No problem. If it start hooking too much I use My Green Pin Classic and if get worst I use my red Pin Classic Zone. If more Oil I have to pull out my real deal hahaha
