I've only thrown it 2-1/2 games at this point in time, bowling on 1 yr old HPL's
medium length med to heavy oil pattern, will try to get the exact length this week. Last summer in the same house I used a S-75, and had a very good look, with good pin carry playing a moderate swing of about 4 boards, the Bounty Hunter is much stronger down lane than the S-75, has more natural length and an eye popping back end. It became very apparent after the first ball it was going to take some getting use to. First couple shots were left of the pocket on the line I generally play in this house. After a few more adjustments, I ended up next to the ball return on the even number lane the ball just had a recovery never seen by the original Bounty, much cleaner up front, more angular and stronger on the back end than the Bounty.

Watching the "Hunter" move is another work of art, the colors are some what deceiving as the ball skids through the heads, when the core flips over the colors become a complete blur, as the ball streaks across the lane. If you liked the Bounty, the Hunter is going to increase to your 900G addiction. I had a young man sitting at the counter behind our pair when I took the Hunter out of the ball sling, when I heard him say is that the new Bounty Hunter? All three of my team mates turned and smiled, he began text messaging someone soon as I nodded my head, then the questions started, where, how did you get one, they aren't released yet. Anyway, the guys in S.A. have made another ball that lives up to the Hype, no pun intended sorry AMF, A very strong ball, for heavier or longer patterns, appears to use less energy then the Bounty, due to core rg being higher, the back end is just phenomenal having more recovery than any previous 900G ball.  

I have the Lunatic and Break Point Pearl drilled but not used as of today, I'll roll them on Thursday and get something in print soon.

I want to get this ball. But it is sorta like they just keep coming out with the same thing only stronger.

I have a pin down S-75, couldn't see a ball getting any stronger. I also have aSolaris Requiem drilled pin up, it is just as strong if not stronger than the S-75, only it's shape is different.

I want to get a Break point solid, but it seems likie having all 4 of those balls would be to much overlap, heck just having the 2 mentioned above, along with a Bounty hunter would be to muhc overlap. It seems as though I have to choose whether i go with the Break point, which so far all the breaks i have had have been awesome for me, or go out on a limb with something I haven't tried  and go with a Bounty hunter.

What does a guy do. I wish they would have made this ball a pure pearl reactive, would have made my decision much easier.

I will most likely get a original Break Point to replace my beloved Track up-rising, since next season i am going all 900-AMF, with maybe 1-2 Lanemaster control balls in there. I feel a Break point will give me a similar shape as my up-rising if drilled similar.

I have a Break pearl pin down strong drill, and a Solaris pearl witha pin on top of ring finger, thet both give very complementary movements to each other, especially if Solaris is polished, and Break pearl is sanded. I know though I will give in on a Break point pearl or a Sideways maybe, I am a ball whore. haha

I do feel as though my S-75 and Requiem are very similar in shapes at the same grit, only Requiem having a touch more backend because of the pin up layout. Thats why i keep my Requiem at 4000 aby or am thinking slight polish. If i were to get a Hunter I would probably drill it pin up similar to the Requiem, but it might be to similar. I do want in that Bounty this time though
