Now that the ball is on the approved list, I wanted to give everyone here a sneak peak.
I had the pleasure to test this ball in the past couple weeks and the best thing I can tell you now is those of you here who were Streak fans need to get in line with you local pro shop for the initial releases from Utah. I put my test balls in the same two favorite Streak layouts and have a look in my bag that I haven't had for 3+ years.
I only threw it in box finish and found I could shape it any way I needed to on both THS and PBA-X patterns - something I could do with my solid Streaks of the past. I indicated to Hank that I want to see it with a little 2000 texture to see how different they could be. I'll get that done early next week.
Please let me clarify. Because I saw such a marked difference between the Solid, Pearl and SE, I'll tell you that although the Illusion is a pearl, it reminded me most of the solid in terms of how smooth it was throughout the first 40' of the lane. If anyone has more specific questions on what/how I tested, please PM me and I'll be happy to answer any of your questions.
