Well i got one, and i thought it was an average highend ball. Good for what is was made for,ect.. So the other day i got to a house that is synthetics and known to be dry. I was using my fire quantum and was able to swing the lane or take hand off it and go up the boards. So for giggles i grab the Xtreme, i throw it and no kidding 3 people stop what they are doing and look after it hit the pins. The noise was INCREDIBLY different. Pins went everywhere, I hit the 3 pin flush and left the 1,2. Now this was a bad ball on my part yada yada, but the hit was just nuts. So i throw it again and take the spare out with more noise than my strikes with my fire quantum(remake). Even my girlfriend who bowls very little noticed the difference on the first ball. She got big eyes and says "wow! that hit HARD" now generally i would rather hear that in a different context but who cares? the ball is real strong. I was just amazed at the difference in "hit". If you have ever read my posts before you would know that i don't buy in to all that hit garbage, but this is the first time I ever REALLY noticed the difference so i had to share. Anybody else see this with the X factor line in general or just the XXX Xtreme? I was so impressed that i quit using the quantum, my scores sucked but i was still stuck on that hit!
