You get a few of those 4 pins forward and it starts messing with your opponent's mind.

I've heard from various sources/people that it appears to rev up in the backend. I can't wait to see this.
I have a feeling this is a special ball. The kind of ball that really sets a new standard.
I've also heard to bring some polish as this thing wants to hook right away on heads that aren't soaked. I've read taking it down to 1000 grit and throwing Rough Buff on it makes it perfect for more med-heavy conditions for certain releases.
I plan on using it as my soaker but a friend told me polishing it up some makes it usable on not quite soaked but oily conditions and the angle this thing makes on the back is impressive.

Hold off on that hole until you throw it, you may not want that extra flare unless you are bowling on extreme oil. Do as you wish, but you have been warned

I actually thought of that last night and contacted the driller already not to do it.
Thanks.

Shot my first full series with mine last night (drilled Wednesday). 214-233-233. Missed a 2, 6, and 10 pin or shot 700+. When I swung it wide, it came back. If I played in tight, it held. Just wish I could cover spares this year. Missing these three single pins is so reresentative of how my year has gone. Mine is OOB condition and the pin is just below and slightly right of my ring finger. It looks weird but the CG is only about 1/4 inch from the pin. Flare rings are not too tight, but I sure have a lot of them.
How do you miss a 2 pin?

How'd I miss a frickin' 6 pin too! Believe it or not I laid the ball out and it went straight! I never imagined it not hooking but it literally went straight. I have missed so many eassssyyyy single pin spares this year it is unbelievable.

It's all in your head, man.
I just throw the same ball from different spots. Anything to the left of the headpin is cake. Use the spare ball for the right.
I put hook on the ball for spares so I don't have the greatest technique, for sure, but I don't miss many none the less.

I like this ball a lot initially. It's more versitle than some have commented on I think. I was able to throw it from different places with good results. It definitely allows you to play deeper and really get an angle on the pocket.
I've never seen a ball roll so nice. It doesn't quit and doesn't roll out at or burn up at all. No quit in this ball.
It destroys a medium to oily house shot. I can't wait to try it on something a little more block like and oily.

My Vapor Zone wasn't able to play too well inside my comfort zone as it would skid to the breakpoint but have trouble in the backend because of the carry down. The Fury on the other hand didn't care at all about the oil carried down. It reacted just like I wanted my oil ball to. It got through the heads clean, started to straighten out and make a move midlane and then smash the pocket on the finish.
It still hasn't rolled out on me yet or burned up. I had two shots that were outside by quite a bit. One of them actually made it back for a 9-strike. The other one just couldn't but it didn't quit. It came back as much as you could expect and still left a respectable pin fall.
Still no problem with 10 pins as some have reported. But I'm able to get good angle. It left an 8 on a solid pocket hit. It's happens.
Because the midlane was lacking a little oil and there was a lot of carrydown, it could get a little touchy in the midlane. But if you made sure not to pull it inside, it was OK. It was the kind of THS that wasn't so forgiving to pulled shots. That is, your ball wouldn't just skid into the pocket. But if you gave it some room to work outside, it would find its way back and didn't care at all if there was carry down.
Great ball and was very usable today. Lots of carry down made my Vapor Zone skid too far before it could really snap back. The Fury just rolled like carry down didn't exist.
