not very well imo. Probably just me but it doesnt really hook up . Unless you are playing pretty direct the back end is suspecton heavier shots . Lot of corner pins for me. I polished mine and am using it on shorter patterns.

It works on longer patterns, but you need to alter the cover a bit.

I dropped mine to about 400, and it worked better in heavier soup.  I was throwing it, oddly enough, at an AMF house not too long ago, right up the boards from the 6.  Judging by the oil on the ball coming back, it was a flood from the 5 in, and it was LONG (probably 44 ft.).  That thing still came back like a tank

Thanks guys. I am considering a Epic Battle in place of my V2 Particle for the heavy, longer oil patterns.

For heavier patterns this ball can dominate. with such a strong rolly core and a moderate amount of particle it doesn't burn off energy, just get into a roll fast.

Oh... and what drilling layout would be good to make it good for these long patterns?
