Needed something for burnt or at least very dry lanes, and was considering plastic, but decided to try the Natural. Having not used anything but plastic [and rubber] and reactive for at least the last 15 years, I was concerned about paying an "almost reactive" price for an "almost plastic" ball.

But after 3 games, I am in love with this ball.  Credit does go to my driller for both the fit and the layout, but I am very happy with the way the ball rolls.  Dampens or masks some of the mistakes I make that would be disastrous with my reactive stuff, and yet the ball DOES still react and move to the pocket...even with my rev challenged delivery.

Only used in practice yesterday, but it will get an unveiling about a week from Thursday in league.

And the scores were good ---for me-- but it was just so easy to maintain consistency with this ball.  At first... it was like throwing a plastic ball. Had to be on target for good result. None of the sloppy strikes I often get with my reactive equipment, despite being off my mark. But once I got lined up for a single good shot to the pocket, it was extremely easy to maintain the same line for several frames.  Stringing strikes was easy.

Anyone considering this ball should definitely try it out.
