As the Shatter Spec's point out, the ball goes long, but,I get a sharper flip at the break point than my Star balls did. As a Super Senior LH Stroker, I have the 3 inch pin below my ring finger with the CG out 1 inch with an X-hole. I had 3 700's in my 1st 3 weeks of league bowling, with the highest 3 weeks ago...259-300-231-790 with 2 open splits in 3rd game & 27 Strikes..As the past Mid-Priced balls from RG stood out, the Shatter will stand alone for bowlers of all ages....Larry Hoffman, RG Staff
