I got a 16lb Slate Blue from Corey (MarvinsSkeleton) a couple months ago.  Had it punched up and managed to throw it, oh....maybe 5-6 frames thus far.  Practice hasn't seen dry lanes nor has league.

This weekend though.....different story.  I was able to throw that and a Nitro/R Pearl for the City tournament this weekend.  I actually got to throw the ball 3 games and shot decent since it's the first real time I've used it.  Shot 639 so I really can't complain about it one bit.

Ball is a real control ball.  Nothing jerky about the reaction, especially when I see everyone else throwing the ball 2 mph faster than normal or lofting the daylights out of the ball.

I was playing a small belly arc...ball just rolled and took a real nice even left turn.  No real deflection at the pins considering the ball wasn't entering the pocket with a huge angle.

Very impressed to say the least.  Definitely look forward to using it again....if I ever see lanes that bad off!!

Heres a a great urethane ball with and great core to back it up.I set mine up i put the pin on my PAP and cg towards the center line on the md line. Talk about control especially for those guys like me that likes the outside. While everyone is burning up the inside out to 7 i'm playing down an in up 5 or 5 to like 3 crushing the pocket.Sorry  had to chime in.....

Couple things for comment.

dizzyfugu, I think urethane has a place, depending on where you bowl and how you throw.  For the conditions I see in travel and all, I thought I would use this more and really haven't used it much.  But I am not big on all the new stuff and haven't been.  Though I finally broke down and bought a new ball (RG Cell), I've been throwing old Faball equipment more than anything.


ramimac, I thought they poured their own stuff.

I was bowling with gsback that day he was using this ball on those fried lanes and I must say the ball was very impressive for a urethane ball..

I would love to find one for a decnet price..
