Decided to take the plunge in getting another heavy oiler as my V2 Particle has lost a lot of effectiveness through the years. Had this drilled out today, specs are in the profile. I like the fact that my driller took the time to discuss with me the variety of things I can do as far as the surface and weighthole in regards to this ball. Mine is sanded down to 800 grit- used it on a fresh oil shot at the pro shop's bowling center, and boy does this ball move!!! Could play the gutter with ease as well as swing from 12 to 2 and back. When I moved in deeper the ball didn't see enough oil and really made the turn quicker in the mid-lane, and when I threw it harder I could keep it in the hole from there but had trouble carrying the corner.
I think this ball will be a winner on heavy floods for me- I'd like to see how it will do on my home house reverse block shot Tuesday night. I will report back soon as I get more games on it...
