REVIEW
The BANK is a step up from the Break Out.  The core gives this ball the ability, in my opinion, to rev harder than any other ball in the 900 Global lines.  The coverstock can easily be modified to various grits in order to achieve desired reaction.

I bowled with this ball on broken down house shot conditions where the track area had some play but the volume inside was heavy enough to allow me to clear the front and mid part of the lane.

I chose this layout because I wanted to compare it to one of my Break Outs.  What I've determined is the BANK needs a little more help clearing the fronts and mids which can easily be done by hand position or coverstock change.

The reaction was everything I expected with this layout.  The pin up and longer pin to pap placement allowed me to dictate how the ball got to the breakpoint.  (If you're not a hand position person, small surface changes can also help lengthen or shorten how the ball reads the lane).

Because this ball revs as hard as it does, I caution folks that this ball could have a tendency to hook and set if it is drilled too strong or encounters friction too soon on the lane.  

What I've also noticed is that in the oil, speed can be a factor with this layout which is why I'm contemplating drilling one stronger, probably 4 1/4 Pin to PAP (right of ring finger) with a little more kick to the right with the MB so that speed on heavier conditions wouldn't be such a factor.

Overall, if you're looking for more reaction this is the ball for you.  Understanding its purpose, you will need oil in the fronts and mids for this ball to really show its strength.  

Hope this helps and if you have questions, please send me a private message.
