640 last night in 5 man same house with wet/dry.. The Crow and shoes. I haven't taken one ball to a league in years. Missed one 10 pin. You won't have the ultimate carry as with reactive resin but you will be in the pocket all night long. I moved 3 boards left for the whole night.
Quote from Jason W,....." I think it is a great ball for a urethane...and people who don't get one will be missing out, cause I don't think there will be many more urethanes like this in the future.

This is true, it is a great piece. Nice bowling, must have made you feel good to bowl a nice set and not have to move the whole lane!!
Thanks JD. I should add a few factors one should consider when using The Crow. First you should have a Shammy to remove oil flare lines. A Shammy will perform better than a towel. Mine flares about 3"s.
I have not touched the surface but according to Jason it could be adjusted but overall I clean with Remedy RX after bowling and so far I don't see any needed surface maintenance. So, in the long run I see the need for less surface maintenance then resin. Resin for the most part needs constant surface maintenance.
Using the Ogre HDC weight block allows for a hard hit and better carry than other urethane balls that I have tried. I use 14 lb. 2.58 .048 with a 4.75" pin to PAP allows for a good 3"s flare with evenly spaced flare rings and better carry than any other urethane that I have tried. The OOB 500 surface still gets down lane on medium length house patterns with it's 2.58 Rg.
My stats. are in profile.
