i love this ball.. this the blue and pink warlocks were awesome balls. the cover on this i believe is the least strongest of the three.. but it still can hook. it definitely goes down the lane. it gets down further than the other 2 i stated above. so don't be afraid to drill it strong just don't drill it weak cause it won't come back. if you dont like it i'll probably buy it off of you.

Funny thing with this ball and its review by BTM.

Originally it was rated a one would expect from a strong pearl: kind of flippy with a lot of backend.

However about 6 months later, I noted that BTM, in their summary chart, had changed everything about this ball. Instead of a length of about 6, it was down to a length of 3. Remember at this time, 1996/7/8 the Danger Zone had a length of 2. Also now both the DZ and the Orange Warlock had a total hook of 10. Now this was not a tracked out version. I emailed Bob Sumemrville at the time and he just said that that was their current opinion of the ball.

I can only guess that, like Dyno-Thane's Soaker coverstock, it gets stronger with use.

Also Remember at that time the DZ had a fairly high gloss polish.
