All of the balls from all of the companies: Storm, Bruns, Ebonite, Lane1, on and on, I stumble across this purple pearl for 40 shipped NIB on Ebay. I put a label drill on it (I just wanted to play around with a 1:30 drill), and now I use this ball every week on our second shift broken down THS and Im averaging about 230 with it since Thanksgiving. Its funny when you stumble across the unexpected.
The ball is very angular, recovers from any type of dry. I does not love oil, but being we have seen any oil in years, this ball is perfect for my situation. I purchased another one for a rainy day.
A half ten is not a great shot. No, you shouldn't have carried it.
