I know some of you guys are probably champing at the bit to try this ball and I haven't thrown enough games with it for a formal review yet, so I'm not comfortable putting a full review out there. So if you're right on the edge and can't wait maybe this info will help give you a little more to go on.

I don't know the drilling specifics except that it has a label drill and it is drilled to EXACTLY match my Green Gargoyle. Both balls have almost exactly the same specs. Both are 3" pins. Even the weight was only a one ounce difference. So how does it react? Just like my Green Gargoyle ... only less. Exactly what I was looking for.

I've always needed a urethane ball for toast, and had even broken out an old Red Pearl Hammer on occassion. The trouble with the Hammer is that it didn't finish. When I saw the stronger cores of the Slate Blue and Lane1's XXL I figured one of them might be what I've been waiting for. I've previously tried the Black Messenger, but it moves too much in the dry and doesn't seem to hit all that well. Since the Green Gargoyle is one of my top two favorite balls of all time the choice was pretty easy. The Slate Blue gets through the heads great, but unlike most other urethanes it has a backend. On the dry conditions I've thrown it on I can swing it out to the dry and it comes roaring back or I can throw it tight if the inner oil isn't too heavy and it goes long but it has the backend pop to break in and carry the 10-pin.

And hit ... no problem there. I really didn't notice any difference from the resin balls I own.

I guess I can summarize what it does by saying that it's hook shape and entry angle in the toast is exactly what my Green Gargoyle looks like on a medium condition. It's not often you get exactly what you're looking for. So far, so good.
