Hello and a Happy New Year to all.

 

I am just did a deal for a AZO Fantasy X (I just paid shipping) I was wondering if anyone as had any experince with the ball, Alot of Hook little hook? Good hitting power? Strong off the spot or mellow?

 

Thanks in advance.

The Fantasy X is a fabulous ball and perhaps the best ever made by AZO if you purchased the black one.  Back in the day when AZO and Lane Masters were one in the same they produced three different Fantasy x bowling balls.  The copper and orange ball was a light load particle with a reaction that would best be described as "skid/flip."  This was an awesome ball but very condition specific.  AZO also produced and deep orange reddish  Fantasy X that was a heavy load particle ball designed for use on heavy oil.  I know of noone who had success with this ball.  Their other Fantasy X entry is a solid black ball medium load particle ball that is nothing short of a jewel.  It gets surprising length with a very strong move in the back end.  AZO was made famous by the cracking sound when the ball struck the pins and this ball was no exception.  Few balls ever made hit the pocket harder or carried better than the black Fantasy X.  It is a solid ball with no filler.  I've had mine for over a decade and have know others with over 1,000 games on them with little to no change in reaction.  I have mine drilled with a stacked leverage layout which affords me the ability to play medium dry (swinging nearly gutter to  gutter) to heavy oil (down and in) with much success.  You made a great find with this ball - I think you will be pleasantely surprised.
