Reaction:
Was looking for a ball to give me a heavy oil ball.  I chose
this over any sort of particle as particles seem to not match up
well with my speed/tilt.

On a typical house shot with oil stacked in the middle I found this
layout to earlier with a controlled breakpoint.  Simply too aggressive
for the wet/dry we experience on 2nd shift leagues.  Polish would help
definately but this isnt what I need for this ball.  

On a heavier pattern on fresh oil the ball is more explosive off the break
point.   Definately need head oil for this ball to show its true colors.

Comparion Balls With Simliar Layouts:

NONE Currently.

I definately see a progression with these three pieces:
 to start, then step down to the Mysic and end up at the Domination.

Yet another excellent piece from Rotogrip/Storm.   Thanks for everything
guys and look for my review shortly on the Neptune.

Thanks,
