COMMENTS

 The Black Ops in a clean smooth rolling ball that reads the lane condition well. The Black Ops is very clean through the fronts and reads the dry well but does not over react off the spot. This ball will be very controllable on many different patterns from medium to medium dry. This ball in my opinion compares to a few different balls 1. The Night Hawk SE for the way it glides effortlessly through the front part of the lane but the Black Opp has a stronger backend movement. 2. The Look which is little older but the backend off the Black Ops reminds me of the backend reaction the Look has. This one is going to be a great addition to anyones bag. I would recommend this one to all styles of bowlers because of the overall versatility.

Thanks

Rick, I'd like to say Thanks for all your great reviews of the current Global lineup.  Very straight forward and to the point, while still getting the most important aspects of each release, without the typical marketing bs hype that many staffers claim to see in each and every new release put out by their respective brand. 

Question, how would you say the Black Ops compares to the last years Break Down release?  I'm very interested to hear your thoughts.  Thanks again and keep up the great work and honest reviews

Black Ops is going to be more ball overall. More flare, more midlane, more off the spot. It's a black Break/Break Out/Eagle. Medium to heavy shot killer. I will never get enough of the Break weightblock. Drilled the same, I would put the BreakDown as 5 boards weaker at least with the BreakDown being smoother off the spot, due to the lower diff. Good 1-2 punch.
