Alright everyone, an update on my post from the "first night using saga" thread last night.  Here a couple of pics of each new ball (also located in my profile) and a quick snipet of video for each.

Saga:

...and a second, not quite as good a shot but still ripped the rack and tripped a late nine.

And the vid: (demonstrating the awesome power of a "low end" ball by moving 10 boards right off the Saga by smashing a 7 pin)

Thanks, it was a THS but fresh oil on newly (two days before) resurfaced wood.  I was expecting alot less out of both balls considering what I know about how the house reacts once it's been resurfaced.  Over the past two years the week after a resurface it's difficult to get a ball to wrinkle but with the first shot off with my Saga went runaway brooklyn I knew I was in for some good times  I was anxious to throw my Saga more today so I gave the local ABT (no tap mind you) a run...six games later, me and my one stick of handicap are a title and 500 dollars richer.  I can't say enough about how well this ball rolls, explosive is the only way I can describe it's move through the pin deck.

And bowl the Semis today and shoot 300 out of the box.  1104 for four, not too bad.  Shoot 289 in the final with my Saturn to win, but that's slightly off topic.
