LANE CONDITION
Length: Best use was on medium to short patterns
Volume: Best use was for medium to low volume
Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): Used this on THS and some sport patterns.
Pin Placement: Pin is located with pin below the bridge and the CG is kicked slightly out.
Likes: There are many things to like about the reaction this ball will give you. It is clean through the fronts and smooth through the breakpoint (The smoothness could be caused by my pin placement.) I really liked this ball straight out of box, but once I started to put some games on it, I noticed a lower sensitivity to friction (Which can be a good thing.)The ball started to get a lot smoother, which actually made my adjustments easier. From out of box until now, this ball has always read the mid lane very well and is a strong, continuous arcing motion through the pins. I think this is a must have ball from the Brunswick line. Not many Brunswick balls have reacted the way this one does.
Dislikes: Even though my adjustments became easier, my overall carry was decreased. The decrease in carry didn't really lower my scores that much, considering my consistency in the pocket was a lot higher because of the smoother reaction.

I am a full-roller, and this ball does well with me. It rolls long, has a nice smooth (but hard) break in the backend. Was my primary for a while, but has now taken a back seat to the Taboo. Still a great utility ball, especially since the Taboo doesn't work well on drier lanes.
