Something special about this ball. I have a feeling that alot of high scores will be shot with this one. Maybe even the '900'.

I'll tell you what. My Booyah isn't as smooth as Matt's, so I am looking forward to using this to keep out of tweener hell.

Might be money for that. I was actually just thinking last night, what can I drill up or change about what I currently have to be able to play right of third arrow again.

Speaking from experience the reactive is what makes this ball special. You don't need a 500 RPM rev rate to make the hit.

Okay, I bought one and used a 5 1/2" x 5" x 3" lay out. I used this layout on an old overseas Brunswick asymmetric with a Time Zone core and a very weak cover - it worked very well. I have been looking for a new ball with that smooth look for some time since I dropped down 1 lb on the balls I own.

Used the Shadow Ops on the house shot last night in league. Everyone else on the team was in over under land.

I either didn't wipe the ball off and threw it up the fifteen to ten board - it only moved in the last ten to twelve feet.

Or, I did wipe it off and standing to the left threw the ball over the 20 board out to the 10 board. Came back to the pocket with a very readable  curve.

Kept in mind I have fairly slow speed and I am very rev dominant.
