I reviewed my 718A back in March. I still haven't touched the surface. As the polish scrubbed off, it just got better and stronger. It definitely handles more than medium for me. Having gotten the DestroyR since then, it is a good step down from it. More midlane read than I expected. My friend has an Anarchy. Slightly more surface than the 718 at box, but both balls are similar in motion. I would say that either one will serve well.
In search of the perfect ball reaction....
