Great ball, I bought mine used from mrbowlingnut,ball has many games on it and still looks new and hits like the first time I ever threw it. This is with minimal maintenance. I agree with the others about this ball. It is a very hard hitting ball, for such an even rolling ball. It is first out of the bag and if I can keep it in my hands all three games, I usually shoot 700 or better. Last year I threw 33 out of 36 natural strikes in a 9 pin tourney with it. I am bowling on old wood AMF lanes and they are quite dry on the outsides. As of now my league arsenal is the absolute, hornet and a xxxl. Since I have ruled out other balls, I have started to shoot very well.
