I did like my Disturbed, but it was not drilled the same. I had that ball drilled pin down. So my comparison may not be fair. Disturbed was allot smoother, but pin down will tame down the ball. So to answer your question, my Haywire is stronger than my Disturbed was. The Haywire is very strong, and it gets into a roll early. I left the cover oob, and I like it that way so far. Now I have only used this ball on the ths. So I didn't have allot of oil. I am sure I would not have to roll it as hard if it were a heavier volume. But ths shots,if you like to roll it hard, this is the ball for you. I am sure with more oil it will just as good, and may not have to throw it so hard. I love it so far. I definitely have some room to miss right, but don't miss left. I am happy with this pin up layout. I like to be able to hit the ball when I need to. I throw pretty hard, approx 16-17 mph with a medium rev rate. I would call myself kinda of more of a stroker, or a mild tweener. I hope this helps.
