Ball and Comparison:

The Chemical X is in my opinion a has a very smooth and clean transition down lane and off the spot. The ball is not over aggressive off the dry and very predictable. This ball is easy to read and adjust off a couple of shots. I would compare this to the Favorite for the smoothness through the front part of the lane and its controllable backend reaction and hitting power for a clean ball off the spot will surprise you as it goes through the pins. This ball keeps the pin low and in play making the carry percentage go up on litter shots. I would recommend this ball to the higer rev players for the smoothness through the fronts and then cleaness off the spot. The medium rev players in my opinion owould work for them because of the smoothness of the front part of the lane allow them to play on the gutter longer before migrating in. the lower rev players would use this ball for when the backends are really dry to help them get through the fronts and still get the ball to turn at the pocket off the spot.
