If you've read my first three reviews of the Ravage you will remember that it was feast or famine...lots of strikes and lots of big splits.  Well, I think I've got it figured out now and WOW! What a ball!  
I took some of the "shine" off it and that seems to have smoothed out the reaction a bit...not getting that over/under reaction like I was with it polished.  It still makes a hard turn but it is much more predictable now and has great continuation through the pins.
I bowled six games on Monday night, just practice...rolling the Ravage side by side with my Track Crash (my "go to" ball for the last several months).  The Crash had its normally good carry but the Ravage began to show me what it was all about!  
Tonight, only the Ravage and the plastic spare ball made the trip to the lanes...rolled nine games with it.  When I was near my mark (within a board or so), it was dead solid flush in the pocket with great carry.  I never once threw it through the break, like in the past, and it only went high a few times but those were "user errors" for the most part, not that snappy little move at the end that caused all the monsterous splits.
At the end of last season I was averaging 178 and have probably averaged around 185+/- over the summer...tonight 7 out of 9 games were over 200 (216, 218, 247, 206, 212, 213, and 236 with a 178 and 162 thrown in to keep me 'humble'...both of those games were ruined by poor spare shooting).
Very much looking forward to the start of the fall leagues...
