The triple X is supposed to be a nice ball, never thrown one, but you forgot to tell us if the lanes you normally bowl on are dry, medium, or heavy.

AM not A CHICK OF BOWLING but I wanted to be in Manda's clique And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS! I'd rather blow it over with my storm, and 21mph ball speed on dry shots.

I love my xxx too . I normally start on 30 throw out to 10 and it slams the pocket hard on a normal medium house shot. But the other night there must of been alot of carry down because I had to come right over to 18 and could hardly get the thing to hook. I have not had the ball long so I'm still getting used to it. Over all this ball is great and once you have found your mark it carries REALLY well.
