The new Venom ExJ Limited Edition bowling ball was a great surprise on performance for me! My particular bowling ball is in 14 pounds, so my specs may differ from other reviews. As for me, this ball is pretty strong out of the box, which allows me to keep my angles shallow, which plays a bit more into my "A" game. The ExJ allowed me to have a bit of forgiveness left and right. (I am left handed) If I missed in (Right) the ball is strong enough to read in the heavier part of the lane and have enough energy for a higher than normal strike percentage in comparison to other balls I have thrown when missing in. At the same time, If I missed outside, (Left) this ball is strong enough early to prevent the ball from fading too far outside, still giving me a chance to finish in the pocket. I would use this ball on long, light oil patterns, medium oi/medium length patterns, and heavy oil/medium length patterns. I also see this as a good ball during transition games also.
LANE CONDITION

COMMENTS
Likes: Predictability, Forgiveness, Colors
Dislikes: IMO ball is better for lower to medium rev bowlers. Higher rev bowlers would be forced further into the lane to open up their angles. If you can't get this ball to the dry from playing deep, I noticed that the ball lost a little carry
