I saw a few videos, and the cover looks incredibly aggressive! It looks like this ball needs oil until the very end to continue through the pins well. What do you guys think?

I saw a staffer throw one last night. I believe your instincts are correct. We were playing on medium oil, although all our practice shots gave the illusion of there being more oil out there, than normal. It wasn't..... just backends that hadn't been cleaned properly.
He started well on the fresh, a double then 9/. After that, with 9 other righthanders playing a similar line, ball began to check up badly.
He actually had better success, playing right of everyone else!!! But I truly believe it was just a bad ball choice on our conditions. Cool thing about this ball.....once it sets up, it tends to drive the pins backwards, from what I've seen.

Playing further right, eh?? Did it just sit and hit pretty well? And did the ball seem pretty continuous through the pins?

Remember, Barnes used the solid on the shortest pattern on tour. Nothing about these balls say skid flip. You just can't with such an aggressive cover.

No doubt about it.....it was continuous through the pins! It didn't always "sit" in the right place though(LOL) .....operator error!

Absolutely needs oil. Inception Pearl would be more downlane when you're on a medium volume.
