To quote someone much more knowledgeable than me (see below).  I think on the right conditions its amazing but being more pearl than solid (opposite of Hy-Road) it was a bit unpredictable and uncontrollable for most people was the verdict.  Bit of a case of a mid level ball over-hyped and priced like a top shelf piece.  Who knows maybe you match up though.  Never know.

The great thing I'm seeing about this ball, is whenever my team is bowling against 1 or more players throwing one, it's an automatic win every time. The window that this ball makes it's move in is way too small for the average league bowler to control. We bowl on a 2nd shift league with a re-oil of the heads so right away the lanes are too wet in the front, too choppy in the mids, and depending on what zone you're in you either get too much motion off the spot, or too much push from inside.

When I'm bowling against someone throwing a Timeless, I can always count on them going  Light pocket strike-> washout-> Trip 4 strike-> Big 4.

I could actually see them making a "Tour" version that's a little more predictable for many different styles and them touting it as the greatest ball ever made. .....wait, they already have a Hyroad.

...Too many balls. Sheesh

The guys who didn't like it were playing way too deep.  After they tried straighter lines through the front the ball did well for them.

I am not a fan of "trick" drillings for most people.  A tried-and-true layout will help you know what the ball really does.  Otherwise, you might keep asking yourself, "was that the ball, or was that the bowler?" 

Norm Duke (one of the greatest, in my opinion) used to keep nearly everything with a similar layout.  The pin would always be within a 1" box, so to speak.

Normally, I'm not a fan of trick drillings myself. I have 4 layouts I mainly use (two for asym cores; two for sym cores). There are two drillings that I use specifically for sport patterns only -

For symmetric cores: 45* x 6.5 x 60*. This normally puts the pin down, and under my middle finger. I use this for short patterns only, basically. It gives me easy length, and a very sweeping motion to the pocket. Because this drill kills the flare, I have to use a high diff core to get it going.

For asymmetric cores: I don't even know the numbers - it's something like 70* x 5.5 x 20*. For me, this layout gets the ball down the lane and it stands up pretty quickly, but it still tumbles more than snaps. It's a useful layout for longer patterns after they're beat up a bit. This one is a bit more versatile, and can be used on THS.

I'm hopeful I can use the symmetric layout on the Timeless, and get it to do what I want with surface. And if it doesn't work, oh well. The ball was free, so I'm okay with a failed experiment.

I personally like my Timeless a lot. Just got it towards the end of the summer. It reminds me a lot of the Lights Out. It's best for me when I keep it in front of me. If I want/need to go left with it, I have to reduce my speed and increase axis rotation to get the ball to respond properly. It never wants to try on a cliff when using too much speed or too little rotation .
