Reaction:
Was looking for a ball to give me a slight more midlane roll when
my pearl reactives are going just a tad long.   With this layout
and the slight particle load I felt this would match up with the
desired reaction.  

On a typical house shot with oil stacked in the middle I found this
layout to work excellent.   Excellent continuation thru the pins and
the breakpoint was as expected.   One observation is that the ball tends
to shoot on heavier oil (the wall) and not recover.   This was of no
concern as I have plenty of other equipment to handle that.  

Comparion Balls With Simliar Layouts:

Domination -- Hooks up sooner then this but not quite as angular.   Definately
would switch to the Domination when the Mystic started hooking up early.

Shift -- Goes a tad bit longer and is more angular for me then the Shift.  
The Shift with the same layout is in dire need of oil for me to get good
motion from it or else it flares out/rolls out.  

I definately see a progression with these three pieces:
Shift 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 and the Odyssey.
