This weekend I punched up a Wasp Sting. I put my 2nd favorite layout on it (80 x 4-3/4 x 40). I have 1 main requirement when contemplating rolling new equipment (brands), something has to match up to a Hyroad Pearl. This ball does just that, with 1 exception, flare. My initial feelings are, this ball is amazing. I did not expect this out of this ball. 3rd game, there was a bit of a burn spot around 15. I was not rolling the ball all that well, so playing deeper wasnt really an option. I hadnt rolled the Wasp Sting but 4 or 5 pitches the day before in practice. I took an educated guess and was rather accurate. This ball cleared the heads, checked up a tad earlier than i would have liked, but was still manageable, and then just ripped the rack. Ball was so predictable and clean on a condition that wasnt. A small surface change will fix my only issue. This ball is will remain in my bag for a while.
