Profit Review
« on: May 26, 2010, 01:01:02 PM »
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Profit last week and here is my take on it so far.

I drilled up my Profit roughly 5 ¼ x 4 ½ with the pin just above my ring finger and no extra hole.  This is the same layout as my Break Out.  I chose this layout to see how this ball would complement the Break Out.  I really like the ball motion the Break Out gives me and I was hoping for the same look downlane but longer.  This is almost exactly what the Profit gives me.

The Profit is very clean through the fronts, reads the mids stronger than I expected, and is very continuous on the back end.  I expected this ball to be a little more skid flippy like the Break Point Pearl, but the Profit is a little smoother off of the friction and much more continuous.

The first time I had a chance to try the Profit was on a relatively long house shot on AMF HPL’s.  I was able to start with my Break Out, and then transition very smoothly into my Profit.  It gave me a cleaner look through the front with a similar motion downlane and through the pins.  I also had a chance to use the ball on a lighter volume house shot on Pro Anvilane.  The Profit gave me something no other ball I had could.  It cleared the fronts, gave me room right, and continued through the pins better than I ever would have guessed.
To sum up the Profit so far I would say it’s the perfect step down from the Break Out.  It provides a similar look downlane with an extra five to ten feet of length.  A perfect medium condition ball.

I've only had a chance to throw this ball a few times but this is what I've seen so far.  Plus the green pearl looks great!  If anyone has any questions please let me know.

5-10 feet of extra length is a lot? Would you say back end motion is close to your BO?

Sorry, I didn't word that very well.  What I meant was that when my Break Out started to hook too early, the Profit would push 5-10 feet further down the lane, past the early hook.

And the back end shape is very similar to the Break Out.  Probably a little stronger simply due to one being a polished pearl, and one being a 2000 abralon solid, but similar.
