Had this ball for about a year now and it is still a great second and third game ball. This ball takes some imagination in order to use, so I can see why some people struggle with it. Have the pin under the fingers and cg kicked out about 2 inches at 4:00 from pin. This ball is polished.
The second game this ball comes into use for me about 95% of the time now. In the second game I use the same type of style (semi-stroker with a little power loft in which I come slightly around the ball) as I do with the ace and play around 7 out to 5 with this ball. Average the lowest of the three games around 185.
The third game the lanes really get weird on my house shot and I usually end up going up three with a flat wrist like a ten pin, I just angle it enough to get back to the pocket. Average around 205 doing this.
You have to be creative in order to use this ball. It kinda forces you the deeper into a set you get to get more creative with the line you play. It hits very hard and makes almost as loud of a noise as my ace. You normally leave more solid 7s with this ball then 10s. I give this ball after a year around a 9.5 out of 10.

Seven basic mottos of bowling:
1)Versatility leads to greatness
2)Be a man, stand up for yourself, blame the balls or the lanes
3)When you get a lucky strike, flex the big muscles of steel
4)Always have a deadeye approach to spares
5)Always have a backup plan
6)When you bowl bad and someone that wasn't there asked you how you did, just say i was bowling with a hot chick, so i bowled bad
7)Sex and bowling do go together somehow
