Has anyone on here thrown the Charcoal Executioner? I know it says its recomended for medium-heavy, but what is it really capable of? What kind of reaction do you get from it? (i.e. arc, strong arc, skid/snap) Thanks in advance.

I have thrown one....about 8 months ago.  For me, the ball is a solid medium condition ball.  Arcs up nicely, but still has some pop on the backends.

I would say hard arc.  Maybe a little snap if the ball is polished
and backends are fresh.

I have two drilled right now.  One drilled label leverage, and one drilled
315.  The 315 is polished to 1000, and the label leverage 800.

I would say it is definately a med to heavy oil ball.  It just depends
on surface prep and drilling.  

Example I can take the 315 on a house shot and start playing down and in until
the lanes start to break down, then I can move left and let er rip.  I our
sports challenge league last week they had a 42' Masters pattern.  I started with the label leverage playing a down and in shot, then moved to the 315 and
continued to do the same because the other lost it's look.

If you are trying to get skid snap from the executioner line I would suggest the red.

You can PM with any more questions or reply here.  I am going to reno to bowl
nationals this week so I will be on again tonight then not again till
Sunday.

Later
