I have the Soul, It pretty clean in front and nice pop down lane. i like it alot. I also have a Deep purple taboo that I love and The Soul is a bit longer with a bit more pop on backend. I have had since day it came out and shot 4 games over 250....just have to know when to put it away..Compared to my nano solid, which I hardly throw, The Soul is longer and about 3 boards weaker...id think its much more versatile
