I have drilled 7 so far and the one thing that stands out is how controlled they are at the breakpoint. If I were to compare it to a ball I would say it is a little earlier than a Kinetic or pearle but smoother at the breakpoint. It does finish hard but not as sideways as a Kinetic.
At Tour trials I used one with the pin 5 by 4 and one 4 by 3 1/2 and just altered surfaces. They are so versatile that I used them on every pattern at tour trials. The 5 by 4 is clean in the front and has a hard arching motion on the back. The 4 by 3 1/2 is about 4 feet earlier at the breakpoint and has a smoother arching motion. It is about 3 boards stronger of overall hook.
I used the 5 inch pin at the end of cheeta, most of the block on chameleon,and the whole block of scorpion. The 4 inch pin I used on part of chameleon and most of the block of shark with a surface of 1000 dull. On shark it blended out the lane because the shape is so controlled and I led with only 50 over on a very difficult shark with it.
This ball is very good and I am very excited about using it on tour this year. Del Warren drilled one of his bowlers two of them at expo and he finished 3rd in the 3 game sweeper with 760 and won the 10 gamer right after it with them.
