OK, review #2 on this ball

Well i used it tonight on a fresh shot, same lanes as review #1

i tried playing my normal line which is standing 33 and throwing over 15 out to 10.  it didnt work, started with 3 opens, and finally made a big move deep.  

I moved my feet to 43 and was throwing the ball over 25 and had room from 15-10.

The one thing i didnt have on these lanes was hold room if i tugged the ball, i always ended up going high.  

But even on a fresh shot this ball hooked like a Monster!  When the ball was in the Pocket the ball ripped the pins.  I left 2 9pins and 1  10pin all nite.  first game wasnt too great but considering i started with 3 splits i ended 169 second game had 1 open, and shot 224, third game shot 236, front 5, 9pin, next three, then greek church= no hold lol.

But for the price of this ball its well worth it!

just plain works,not quite for dry,but with a little oil,awesome.drilled tame so it revs without big snap,3 games 280 + last 6 weeks,not bad for once a week
guy.

Specs in p-file.

15lb 3-4oz i think, how it came from factory.

5 1/2 pin to PAP, PIN above and inbetween the fingers. 1500 grit polish for cover.

Picked this up from my left hand buddy, single drill, for my new 15lb light oil ball.

Well it does very well for my light oil shoots. For the long PIN, it has good backend but is VERY controllable. I very strong arc, but nothing snappy.

Very solid ball. I have already shot some high scores with this, more to come.

Ball: 4-inch pin, pin over middle, CG just above and right of the thumb
Me: PAP 4 over 3/8 up, mid-tracker, tweener
Surface prep: Box

Bought this ball off Jeff Carter as an experiment. The Curelyon coverstock and weight block make this ball very similar to an original Thunder, a ball I loved.

The drilling on this ball was one I'd wanted to try for a long time. With the pin over the middle, it put it about 5.5 inches from my PAP and promised to give me length.

I only spent a limited amount of time with this ball but found out quickly that the Curelyon coverstock, which is old enough to be considered very tame by today's standards, was going to be too tame with this drill. I only did a minimal alteration to the coverstock and found that the reaction didn't change much. The ball was almost too mild for what I wanted.

Carry was quite good, especially on high-flush hits. Off hits were below average.

Had I to do over again, I might have plugged it and tried a different drilling. The pin-over-middle drilling is something I'll need to use on a newer piece of equipment in the future to make sure it's the technology and not me that was the problem here.

If you can find one of these, I still recommend it. The core/cover combination here is a proven performer from Storm. Whatever drill you choose, the ball will likely be a dry-lane-only piece.
