Now that I have had my Primal Scream for a few weeks and have been able to throw it both well and poorly, I feel I can now post my review.

Layout: 70 x 25 x 3 3/4
Weight 15lb
Pin: 3 - 4
PAP: 5 5/8 right 1/8 up
Revs: 450
Speed: 17 - 18

Hot off the press: The Scream was originally laid out without an axis hole. On a fresh THS, knowing the strength of the ball, I lined up on 30, swung the ball out to 10 and the ball drove right through the pocket. As my arm began to loosen up I was able to fully hit the ball and realized the angularity of the entry was too sharp and constantly leaving corner pins. A P2 hole was added to help mellow the reaction and flatten the entry to the pocket. This allowed fr about a 4 board reaction difference.

League Play: With the Primal Scream I am easily able to play the extreme deep angles away from all the other bowlers that puts me on an island of my own. This is ideal for about a game and a half. After that, there is a burn area created by the other bowlers that once the ball hits it, I have found the Scream to over react.

Likes: The colors of the ball pop. There is not other ball I have seen that has the motion of the Primal Scream. This ball does not stop driving through the pocket. I do like how I am able to adjust my release and the ball still remains as responsive as if I were following through on my normal release. By flattening my release I am able to get the ball further down lane and lengthen the break point.

Dislikes: The ball can be too strong and create too much angle entry to the pocket. I would not recommend throwing this ball on light or short oil patterns.

Recommendations: I would recommend this ball for anyone who is looking to get more length down lane with a late angular response to the pocket.

Overall: I do like throwing this ball a lot. The extreme deep angles are the strength of my game, and this ball allows me to play them with ease.
