on oilier shots will be insane to use this ball. I am drilling it for heavy tournament and sport, and days when encounter bad carrydown. I would wait for the ball to be out for a few weeks befor you see some serious reviews. It always seems people jump the gun for information that is not out there yet, and also people asking for comparisons of balls not even released yet. I'm sure there will be reviews in 2-3 weeks. But in defense of all, I want to know how this would stack up against say a NVD, Virtual Shift, Hot Sauce, etc !

I had the Virtual and sold it, did not match up with my game. Have the NVD, and it handles any oil around here. I did not have problems with polishing the Virtual, so that was not an issue. The Mega will be in the bag, in case, when nothing else is cutting the mustard on heavier THS's and sports. In one house in our area, they have a history of the Pheonix not being maintained well and stripping is not done. The Mega will probably be used on this also. This sounds like a winner already. My Code has a unique motion and niche in my arsenal, and I love that core. Thanks for the info, I am sure more will come out on this ball as time goes on, so we can patiently await more reviews.

just a heads up on the Mega, I have only seen one ball that has hooked as much as the Mega, it was at 320 with a heavy particle load. I attempted to throw mine last night in practice it was not a good match even between 3rd-4th arrows. It creats a ton of friction in the mids and was left of the head pin at 45 feet, at box finish. The ball will eat up a heavy long pattern at box, for those who don't have a lot of hand it will make them think they have found the fountain of youth and have been reincarnated as Max-Bob revs, the label should have read find wider lanes not "caution this ball hooks". To be used on an every night basis I would think 4000 finish or maybe a dose of liquid teflon might be necessary to get it down lane. It will hook a bunch, plain and simple !!

I have a Project X, but I haven't drilled it yet. Don't think I'll see enough oil to ever use it.
Is there any truth to the rumor that the MF has a particle load?

Wow .. and that thing hooks.. if you drilled it strong and didn't have a flood the ball gets zero length..mine at 6 inch pin to PAP is still a beast..
Is the MF a little better with getting through the heads. I imagine it has to have less flare than the AMB. Warning.. if this ball is anything close to the AMB you need oil... and alot of it.. Don't think this is going to be like a cell.. Some say they need alot of oil for the cell. If this thing is anything like the AMB it is a Cell x 3.

Not asking for an indepth vid, just something with 3 shots or so is all. Very interested in seeing what this ball will do. We will probably have something after tomorrow, on the shark pattern at Box finish...

Christ the ball has only been out 10 days, Brit will most likely be the first to post one if he has had time to do a vid. Used mine last night for a game, standing 40 to 18 out to the 8 at 42 ft, back to the hole, ball is just a monster, covers boards like Pacman eating dots !!!!!

i drilled mine last night 5 x 5 placing the pin above and a little right of ring finger with pin stacked under ring finger no balance hole. I tried it for two ball on my league practice thru middle where the oil is the heaviest. We have a med to med heavy ths but it is extreme wet dry it is dense in middle and toast outside of 8. I tried throwing it at about 20 and it puked at the dots before the arrows didnt even try to get into a roll. Even with the pin being up it didnt even try to get any length. It tried to hook as soon as it hit lane this ball needs oil and alot of it. I bought it for a flood ball for tourneys and got just that i am going out of state so i might find more oil when i practice this weekend i will update when i see what this ball can do on the given shot it is designed for. I left it in oob finish.
--------------------
I want my share of the bounty but I cant find enough oil for this monster, i dont want to polish it cause it rolls so good now damn I hate dilemmas.
update...... I got the chance to throw my MF on a heavy house shot 42 ft with very dirty backends with carrydown from open bowling. The ball was so powerful that it was hook settting. First game I threw with it was 300 continued to throw it next game shot 255 was praticing with my little nieces so i only bowled two games. ball needs much more oil but at least got to throw it. Has very strong midlane grip and hits like no other can wait to find more oil for this beast to come alive.
