drilled my Sure Fire up last Night. Went with same layout that i have on one of my Fired Up's which was pin under ring and cg in center of the grip. Didint get to throw the ball too much fro what i saw i like. Rolls alot like my fired up but really picks up in the midlane and doesnt jump off the dry insted it will arc off. I got on a fresh THS but in was a new shot that used a less vol of oil then normal so the lanes were really hooking.Will post more after i get to use the ball over the weekend got league and a tournament soo hopefully the Sure Fire will get some use. O yea this ball smells reallly good pina colada

Randy Pederson had this ball at the Kegel open house at Seminole Lanes. He had 2 of them, one polished and the other at about 2000 I would guess. Both balls were very smooth. I was able to throw them and really liked the reaction. Been thinking about picking one up to add to my bag.

Update on the SURE FIRE from Storm staffer Jeff Richgels

I won my 29th PBA regional title over the weekend and would not have done it without the SURE FIRE. We bowled in a nearly new center in Herrin, IL,  that has AMF synthetics. The pattern was Viper with the lowest volume PBA uses.
Combining those two factors resulted in what would be expected: a pattern that hooked from the outside but with little or no hold area. The problem to solve was that a shiny ball was too erratic and tough to control while too much surface would not get down the lane and had zero hold.  Not surprisingly, scores were very low with the cash cut being minus 31 and the finals cut being minus 14.
I went through nine balls in Saturday’s qualifying, eventually returning to what I had started with - the old VERTIGO I have used quite often this regional season with the pin in my track above and left of my middle finger and the CG in my grip center - rallying with 654 the last three games to get to minus 9 to make the cut. That VERTIGO gives me a controlled aggressive look with the weak pin taming down a strong ball and strong layout.
I never brought my SURE FIRE in from the car because I figured it would hook too early for the low volume but decided to give it a try on Sunday since there had been more skid than I expected. And it gave me a great look just rolling it straight up outside 5 to start and getting to swinging from just outside 10 at the arrows to a break point around 5  by the end of the semifinals. My SURE FIRE has the ring finger drilling out the pin and the CG kicked right - about a 60 degree drilling. The over/under (2-pin/3-6-10) reaction  I had on Saturday with my shiny SPIT FIRE and FIRED UP was totally eliminated by the box finish R2S cover (4000 ab) of the SURE FIRE. I went 243-248-206-217 and then 174 trying a couple things. I didn’t have hold area but I had great recovery on shots I missed to the right on.
My Round of 8 match was on an end pair that had a very different reaction from the rest of the house and I ended up lucking out a 3-2 win with the VERTIGO, but the SURE FIRE was perfect from outside 5 in both the semi and title matches, which I won 259-179 and 204-155.
The SURE FIRE definitely makes a strong controlled, rolling move that is very different from the SPECIAL or SECRET. It seems closest to the T-ROAD SOLID but I think it gets down the lane better and is easier to control than that ball. The SURE FIRE keeps the pins very low.
