Well i warmed up with the ball and it was not finishing enough on the backend, so i used my vapor zone the first 2 games. I then switched to the radar ball and struck the first 3 frames, then it leave every shot whether a 10 pin or 9 pin or 7 pin, i tried different releases and the ball is honestly just plain smooth no matter what i did with it.

I ended up with a 189 with not enough frames on it too judge it great or ok???  It did ok with the carrydown but i stress my drilling 4 1/2 x 5 is not super strong nor did i want a hole in the ball to help it rev faster either. I can say even with a flippy drilling the ball is super smooth and is all about control the backends. On the last ball the flipping ball got caught in the pit area and when it came back a slash under the thumb about 3 inches long, i was pretty pissed but it always seems everytime i use a new ball there something goes wrong and it gets scuffed somehow. Luckily the slash is under the thumb just right of the track so i am not touching the surface of the ball and i am going too try it on fresh medium/heavy tomorrow morning.

Not a cheap ball, i cant say what i payed but it is a high end ball. Very nice looking ball i will use it again and maybe throw a weight hole angled in below my pap if i need it too rev up faster. It does rev hard dont get me wrong but i actually expected a snappier ball and got a total control ball.

4 1/2 x 5 pin over ring with no weight hole, well i tried it again at the brand new south coast bowling center. I shot 1017 my last 4 games there, with the Radar and at this place it was like pocket radar hence the name imo. Two of the games back to with the radar was 258,257 and the other two were a couple of boards deeper with a 1000 matte finish Diablo.

There was much more backend at the south coast and it was sure nice not to bowl on those crappy mendez magnetic pins for a day. It made me realize how much better i have improved over the last 2 years, i have not left my home center since 2003 bowling anywhere.

I believe i could easily average 220 plus when and if i bowl league at the south coast center, that is almost as cake as the sam's town house shot. The radar is a very good ball so sorry guys it aint going nowhere anytime soon
