Since the Swerve has similar numbers to the GB2; I wonder how close they are.  Can you elaborate Dave???

the GB2 is my benchmark piece, love that ball
the swerve is a stronger move, and a bit longer

I have the same layout on each, I need to put the same surface on each and let you know. possibly this weekend yet

This ball is awesome. The motion this ball reminds of is that of the C300 Oath. It doesn't over react, reads the mid lane, and rolls up to the pocket.

I also find that this ball hit just as hard light as it does in the pocket, meaning this ball loves to throw pins and I am finding that I carry more than other lighter shots.

This is a just must have and a great benchmark ball.

This ball is flat out great! I drilled one pin up and one pin down. The pin up one goes fairly long and has a really aggressive snap at the back end, like any true high performance asymmetric ball, but the way this ball went through the pins was absolutely amazing. I've never seen so many light or weak hits turn into strikes before! this ball truly is something special!! The one I drilled pin down rolls a lot earlier. I can cover more boards with it but i need to keep a little polish on it to keep it from trying to hook too much in the mid-lanes. It's definitely a great piece for when you have to get really far left and swing the lane!

I love my Swerve. I have found that when I am lined up with it, that I am able to keep moving left throughout most of the day without losing reaction or carry. It is a strong piece buy versatile. When I want to go up the back and straighter, it still carries just as well as when I move in and swing it. I'm not usually a huge fan of asymmetrics, but I do love this piece.

This ball has quickly made it's way in to my bag!!

GREAT addition if you are looking for something on the medium patterns that will get through the fronts clean and give you a smooth, predictable motion.  Very continuous for me through the pins!

Currently have one with a 2-3" pin layed out underneath my bridge and the cg kicked out with a weight hole.

If you're lacking a ball in your arsenal that can get through oil and continue, this ball is for YOU!

Good to hear, I just traded a Black Widow Limited for a Swerve. What you described is what I am looking for! Thanks Stefanie.
