Love it!  I have reviews on it and many others have written positive comments on it on the Review section of this site.

It is surprising.  If the backends are not wettish this thing is almost as big as my Demolition Zone.

Just missed a 700 with this recently on a slight carrydown shot that confounded some of the best bowlers in my area.  I smoked em as the shot got trickier!

I won't mention the times they've smoked me!

REgards,

PS smooth, long and big backend.  A friend of mine with a competing companies ball(same design) just shot a big 8!!!!

I have a new Blue Seafoam Tornado and its by far the strongest dry lane ball
I own.  I've had a lot of big 600's with this ball.  For the money, I don't
think there is a stronger dry to medium dry ball on the market.  A real
sleeper from Ebonite.

The Tornado solid is not and never was designed for dry lanes. I have a 15 and a 16 lb version and I've had to sand them to 1500 grit and put a good shine on the them to make them work on medium oil. I can't even imagine them on medium-light, no less dry lanes unless your slow speed is about 20 mph.
