The Talent Star is a BEAST right out of the box!!!  The ball never stops driving and explodes the pocket. I normally take my balls down to 500, but out of the box 2000 is more than enough surface.  You won't be disappointed at all!!!

Just finished a tournament with the 40 ft (Chichen Itza) pattern and I was very impressed with how it just moved thru the oil like the lanes were dry.  I actually had to put it up because it was too strong, when other bowlers couldn't get their balls to move.
