Well I am going to try out this ball saturday. I know some people hate this ball and some not. If you had this ball, give me your views on it. Did it hook too much? Let me know
Thank you

Well, your question is pretty general, but I can probably give you some general info. The Swamp Monster, being a high-load particle ball, will want to grab the lane extremely early in box finish. So, unless you only want to use it on heavy oil, I would recommend putting a good coat of polish on it. Once you do so, the ball should get a bit more length and offer more pop on the backend. The ball will still be more arc oriented, but it will retain much more energy. Personally, I've never thrown the SM, but I've seen them used with fairly good success. Just make sure you drill and prep it properly for the conditions that you plan to use it on. Good luck and good bowling to you.

i shot my 2nd 300 game with my swamp monster. because of the very aggressive particle coverstock and lower rg core it tended to hook early or hook and quit if you didn't use it on the right condition. my best results with the ball came when i used the smoothest trizact pad( white cerium oxide pad---appx. 10,000 grit )and swung the ball slightly on a medium condition. it also worked well when dull ( burgundy scotch-brite pad )on a heavy oil pattern using a down and in line.
