Urethane on steroids!!!
Specs: 16lbs pin out of 3-4", don't remember the top weight, and it's drilled with the pin 1" over and .5" to the right of the ring finger. The CG is in the center of the palm in order to put the MB in strong position.
My goal here was to obtain an early rolling continuous strong moving reaction from the ball. My sole purpose is to use this gem on tourny patterns, or sloppy THS. On the lanes, which were wood second shift crown pattern, with alot of carrydown for some reason tonight, this ball worked well.
I started with my trusty Hercules and played 30 with my slide foot out to 10 as the break point and back. The first game this worked well until more carrydown set in and a hold area developed.
After struggling the second game barely making it back to the pocket, I busted out the Purple Ice Executioner. Standing on 33 with my slide foot using the same breakpoint the ball rolled about 25 feet down the lane before turning over. The reaction shape out of the Purple Ice was one similar to my Hercules but even smoother and more controlled. It started it's move about five feet sooner than the Hercules, and rolled completely down the lane without any flare on the backend. There is no jumpiness here, no over reaction, and no quitting, it's completely smooth as a newborn's behind.
Positives:
Rolls absolutely true to it's design, the smoothest and earliest rolling ball I currently own and ever thrown. Hit's like a mac truck strapped with plutonium, cracks the pins louder than most balls. Doesn't leave anything near the pin deck, pushes it all to the rack or curtain.
Negatives:
Rolls so early it will roll out without head oil, and with too much carry down it won't turn over due to it's smooth and controlable read. Definitely needs some dry to get it moving the other way. Roll out places carry at risk because the cover is super aggressive. Not for typical house walls because the ball will not work with the over under well.
So far so good, I will update later, PM me with questions or tips.

Would you give everything up, just to do it all over again?
Pin_Krusher IS a serious threat to modern day bowling wood as we know it today.
