COMMENTS
I wanted my Link to become the low end ball in my arsenal. For me this ball is not playable unless the pattern is quite short or the volume is very low. But as soon as most other balls burn out or overhook this ball is absolute money! It will clear even the most burnt heads with ease and reads the midlane just enough to get in to a smooth rolling backend with a lot of continuation through the pins.
Likes: Very forgiving on lighter shots, effortless length, great hitting power for the mony
Dislikes: if there is oil put it away

LANE CONDITION
Volume:Low
Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS
Likes: Very predictable ball arc, except when this ball hits carrydown or a reverse block. I like this ball for league because with our low volume short pattern I can stay with a shot of 20 to 10 or so. My ball speed is usually between 14 and 15 mph with medium revs and the furthest I've gone inside with my feet on the approach has been 27. A very consistent ball except if there is too much oil around the breakpoint. Can be very speed sensitive.
Dislikes: Doesn't really pound the pins unless the line and speed are just right. Most strikes are more of the all pins fall down variety rather than ten in the pit.
