It was "too strong" in box finish for the longer oil pattern, hence the lower rating? It's that much of a hook monster? I have a NIB to drill and want to be sure about it prior to punching it... Anyone have any input on if you were surprised in a bad way?

 

Thanks.

Mine was early for me in box condition with a pin up layout, then when I separated my feet/target more it wouldn't make the corner. I shined it and got more of the same only with more closed down angles: too much ball to play straight with, too little ball to swing it.

 

I gave it to a fellow Storm lover with a super-mild layout (6" pin) and he won't put it down. And might drill another up with a stronger layout.

 

The impression I got was to try to super-shine it with a used 4000 abralon like I did a T-Road Solid a few years ago and throw it when the fronts were gone with a tame layout to keep it from getting into it's motion too quickly
