The GB13.3 solid cover finished at 500/3000 provides superior traction on heavier oil patterns.  I drilled this the same as my Mission Unknown to get a similar look on slicker patterns. The Supreme is very strong up front for me and provides a smoother ball motion off the breakpoint than expected.  When I throw it well getting it off my hand smoothly with some rotation, the reaction is stunning, however with my game, the Supreme doesn’t give me much forgiveness on missed releases or slightly muscled shots.  That said, I’ve seen bowlers with stronger hands be able to swing it and bring it, absolutely crushing the pins with this ball.  On the Chameleon, I had a very good look early playing straight down and in around 8 / 9 board.  After the transition, I needed to change balls in order to move more inside. One other note, it’s important to keep the cover clean.  When you begin to notice some oil shine, lightly scuff it with a fresh 3000 pad then clean it with Powerhouse Clean and Dull.  It will bring the NIB reaction right back.
