The Vanguard is the strongest core in bowling. I'd really have to get a better picture of the new core to draw conclusions as to how similar it is to the vanguard. As far as who will be able to use this ball, it has been rehashed with every hook monster that Mo releases. The TS&A, S&D, AH, and even AR to an extent have encountered this criticism. Yes, if you drill the ball strong, you will have to be bowling on a great deal of oil to be in play, or have no hand. The beauty of asymetrical equipment is that you can put the pin at about 2 1/2" from your pap and have a good all around ball that can be fine tuned with mass bias placement.
