I picked up my Threat about 3 weeks ago, and thus far I have 15 league games on it. I've played to about a 185 average for the past year since I came back to bowling, with minor fluctuations. Of my 15 games on the Threat, 10 of them are 200 are better, 3 of the sets are 600 are better and a fourth was 598. Last night I shot a 234-200-268 for my first 700 series.
The pro shop didn't have a ball in stock with the pin they wanted to give me, so I had a choice between one with a 2" pin and one with a 5" pin. After some discussion, we decided on the 2" pin ball, and drilled it for a very strong midlane reaction. This is my first pearlized ball so it took me a bit to get used to the line I need to play with it. My Threat goes very long and makes a late, hard move to the pocket. In my house I usually stand with my right foot on the 18 board, and use between 10-12 board as my target, swinging out to around the 5 board.
The difference in reaction on the oily/dry part of the lane is fairly dramatic - this ball won't do a whole lot in the oil, but give it some dry boards to work with and it moves, dramatically. The cleaner the backends the more angular the move.
Carry is excellent, especially on light hits. I did leave two solid 8's last night on flush hits. In both instances the 5 went straight back.
This is an excellent ball and I highly recommend it. 10 out of 10.
