COMMENTS
Likes: Awesome benchmark ball. Has given me my first 300 and first 800. the 4000 abralon requires me to play deep inside most the time, usually throwing over board 37-20 on THC (light-med oil). I'll bet if I had another one shined it would prove to be an unstoppable combination. Also, with my low speed and high rev rate it has very good length and a strong midlane roll, like others have suggested. 8 out of 10 bad shots seem to find the pocket just fine, I can't complain with that.
Dislikes: None. I wish it was not discontinued.
