I FINALLY got mine last week, same day the purchase was announced. There was a shipping problem and a few of the staffers didn't get theirs right away, myself included. I finally threw it for the first time last night, other than a few frames just after drilling I love the Equation, have done two of them. So, last night I was bowling in team event during our city tournament here in Lansing. I started with the Phoenix, it was way too strong, I had to cover too many boards to throw it, and my misses were puzzles and not spares. So I switched to the Equation. I threw the Equation for one frame, still too much ball. So, out comes the Eq2, I moved a little right and wasn't really sure what I'd get. Flush, strike, next frame was the same. I got a little quick with the speed and left a 2-4-8-10 and proceeded to throw the next 15, solid-9 and then another 5. Yep, 300 with the ball in its first full game. For me, I was able to play the dry without fear of the ball overreacting. A move definitly reminiscent of my Equation yet needs much more dry to play well. I give it two thumbs up.
I would place it between your Equation and Desert Heat. Myself, I'm not tempted to get rid of my Desert Heat since I think the Equation^2 hits much better.
FYI, I just posted a review on the ball.
