From a high tracking power stroker's perspective, The Green Machine with the 5 X 4mb drilling (3.5 pin-out - pin above fingers / 70 degrees); the Robo Core block gives excellent gliding computer precision like guidance through the midlane. The Fang LS coverstock gives it a controlled calculated flip (my term - contra/paradoxical) on the backend. This ball works well on a synthetic medium condition that still has head oil (it's a particle pearl). (in OOB condition, have not experimented with any coverstock adjustments yet)
If one is able to manipulate weaker hand positions and more speed, the ball could maybe be used on lighter medium oil; through transition and near to breakdown. All bets are off, if one runs into very little oil on the heads or big backends, too much ball, it moves!
As a medium oil ball it's one of the best.
My take on the newer US Robo Core releases.
Green Machine 5 X 4mb Medium condition; Controlled Flip (not your son's flip; a baby boomer flip)
Mean Machine 3 X 4.5mb Medium to Heavy ; Strong Arc (Fang LS Control) Forgiving; but allow more overall room for this ball than the GM.
Power Machine (not drilled yet; but have thrown a buddies 5 X 5mb)
A different animal, different coverstock (Vector SF); The flip ball we have all been waiting for! Wow! ICE (it carries everything).
A thing of beauty! (not Generation X flip - Baby boomer flip all the way!
)
