LANE CONDITION
Length: 41 feet
Volume: medium to high
Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS, and Kegel Middle of The Road
BALL REACTION
Length: clean through the fronts w/ aggressive midlane read
Back End: strong continuous arc
Overall Hook: high, covers the same amount (if not more) of boards as the TR2 which comes from the factory at 800 grit wet sand.
Midlane Read: very strong and noticeable. it's difficult to throw this ball through the breakpoint.
Breakpoint Shape: strong arc. not a flipper, but very good continuation and allows the bowler to play the backend of the lane more.
COMMENTS
Likes: Strong core/cover combo that allows one to move deeper on the lane and swing/belly the ball more. good for heavier/longer conditions. very aggressive bowling ball.
Dislikes: on anything less than medium I strongly suggest keeping this ball in the bag. the strong core/cover combo doesn't favor shorter, drier lane conditions.
