It came out today, who's getting it? I hope to get this ball but probably am going to wait until later in the year. Let us know if you plan on adding this ball to your arsenal and why or why not.

I am curious as to how different The RL Solid would be to an original Legend with same surface/drilling.

The Red Legend Solid is about 4-6 boards stronger overall than the original Legend with the same surface prep (2000) - I found it earlier and more continuous in the backends where the original Legend gets down the lane a little easier with the same motion! The RLS coverstock handles heavier volume of oil better than the original Legend at the same surface prep... Hope this helps!
Excellent feedback, thank you. How much of a difference would you say 2000 is from box finish for original legend? I have original legend at box, so I'm using that as my frame of reference here.

BOWLER SPECS
BALL WEIGHT: 14#
REV RATE: 435   
BALL SPEED: 17.5
DUAL ANGLE LAYOUT: 75 x 5 3/8 x 30
PATTERN: 45’   
PATTERN TYPE: Sport
BALL SURFACE: FACTORY
COMMENTS:
LIKES: Box finish, solid color, strong continuation.

DISLIKES: NONE!
OVERVIEW:
The big change with this ball is the cover stock, with this release having a solid reactive shell. The red Juiced cover stock is finished with a 2000 Abralon pad. This is by far the smoothest of the previous Widow releases, even though I feel it is less angular than the last 2 releases in BW line, this ball still provides a lot of down lane motion and a earlier read on med to heavy oil patterns. It was super easy to control pocket even as the pattern changed. Red legend solid will provide more total hook than the previous two Legends because of cover change and box finish. This is by far my favorite release in the line so far!
