I have not thrown the invasion, but two team mates throw it, and i a purchasing one as we speak. What I have found, and what others have said, is that it depends on how you throw the ball, and what you are throwing it on. I play older overlays, and we have a guy who throws up the 10 and has alot of trouble with it. the other throws a belly hook, and he does much better with it. both are med speed med revs. With the overlays however, I throw deeper than both of them, not much more than the belly guy, but a little deeper and I use a break point pearl for about 1 game, then switch to a cherry vibe. i am buying the invasion for a high 5 where we will be on synthetics. for me and the pattern they use, this will be the correct ball. at my house however, the ball would be way too much and would roll badly. I guess, as an article i read in the bowling journal said, the core is the engine, the surface is the tires, but don't forget the road you are going down. its a 1/3 idea, that the lane will dictate as well as pattern. just my 1/2 cent, and no i don't average 270, just a regular guy who watches what is going on around me
