How is this balls? What lanes conditions can it handle and
how versatile is it?
Anyone with experiences, please give me your input?

Very versatile! It will do medium/medium heavy really well. I personally didnt care for it as a Heavy oil ball though. If you are a cranker it would be good in heavy oil possibly.

the Trifecta requires oil, and a medium condition is not enough oil for it. Compared to my Paradigm on medium, the Trifecta burns up early and hits very soft. It covers 2-3 less boards than the paradigm. The Paradigm crushes the pins. On medium heavy, the Trifecta hits very hard, harder than the Paradigm, and covers 1-2 boards more. On heavy oil, the Paradigm barely moves, the Trifecta acts like someone is kicking it towards the pocket. Very strong defined move to the pocket, and hits with a lot of force. It's really finds itself on those conditions.
I just added a Passion last night, and put 7 games on it on a heavy condition with solid results (it and the trifecta can be used interchangeably, but I have 2 different approaches to the pocket it one isn't carrying). I'm going to throw a practice game on a medium condition tonight, and I'll let you know the results if you want.

Also, my medium oil might be a medium heavy to some folks. I have no problem with the trifecta burning up and hitting light on what I call medium conditions. My Trifecta was drilled very strong also!

Trifecta is my heavy oil ball. It has a really smooth arc in oil, but after a couple of games it burns up the heads and I either have to make a big move left into the oil or put the ball away. IMO it is a med-heavy to heavy ball. There are so many good medium-light to medium-heary balls out there I wouldn't try to force this one in that slot.
