Condition used was PBA Regional Pattern 4(42Ft) and THS(38Ft)
Pattern #1 Lane condition was synthetics(Brunswick).
I used a dull surface at about 800 grit on this pattern and the ball was too aggressive but it had a smooth reaction and was predictable at the break point but forced me to go to deep for that pattern
THS is AMF synthetic conditions are med oil for our areas THS
This ball gives a strong smooth read. The vision was a very smooth ball and was very control when my Flippy stuff was too Over/Under and the battle was too strong.
Line being played
Pattern #4 20/ 7 @ 38-40ft on fresh Any deeper and ball wouldn’t recover in time THS 20/10 @ 36 ft on fresh
Overall Thoughts
This ball is great for use on med to heavy oil pattern with moderate length as long as the surface is right. It has the ability to give a great read if matched properly with the condition. Ball has great traction and carry. The balls reaction didn’t change much from 600-800 grit and from 1000-2000 grit.
Compared to the Violet gargoyle with the same drilling This ball is stronger and more aggressive throughout the entire lane. For me it is about 10 boards stronger then the Violet with a better and more consistent read through the oil.
