Put the holes in one. Way too much for these old bones. Gonna change up the surface and bowl
a tourney tomorrow. You can see this ball from 20  lanes away. 
Oh, besides it's greenness, it has more rg's as well. lol

more RG's??? the RG is the same value at 2.50 for 15lbs.
15lbs is what all the companies go buy when they advertise the numbers.
 
it may have changed in other weights tho.
 
cheers

Go back and view the 2.0 video. Surely you know about green balls having more RG'S?
BTW, all companies make great balls. Not every ball is great for everyone.

 Wonder if you would have taken it personally if the role was reversed and Ebonite was the one sueing....spoken like a true staffer.

Bob told us about it. He had just made the decision to re name the ball.
It was just business.It was not personal. 
Now on to the MISSION AT HAND.
I need more SPEED.

Had the pleasure of watching Jason Couch throw it this weekend in Raleigh.  I quit counting after the first 19 strikes.  The ball just seemed to explode in the pocket.  I wish I had have the talent he has..............

This ball flat out looks impressive.  It definitely needs some oil to really play otherwise it may just be too much hook, but the most impressive factor to me is what the new Magnetite core does for the ball at the pin deck.  Much like the Epidemic, there is just a clear difference in the way these 2 balls exert energy when they hit the pins, and there is a definite noticeable difference in pin carry.
 
Then add in the $25 cash back rebate through the rest of today, it's just a deal that is far too good to pass up.

Finally had enough lane oil for my old self. 224, 257, then moved  5 right with the Signals.
716 for the night. If you know me, you know, I don't post my scores.
Our team went 631, 631, 664, then Xscores.
This ball is that good. Thanks Ed and Steve.

I have a few questions about the "x" -- what exactly is the cover?  what type of movement does it have, is it more skid flip or hard arc? i am looking at getting one but id like to be sure it will fit into what i need.

Coverstock name is HL1350. It is a solid. This ball needs oil. The move on the back is super arc.
This ball does not stop. It is not a skid flip.  
Came out today. Check out your local Pro Shop.

Ready to put holes in my Mission X. There seems to be such a big jump in the rg's of the 14 lb vs the 15lb.  2.55 to 2.50. Any one drill a 14lb yet ? Does it seem to lope a bit more than the 15lb ? I am throwing 14lb now due to injury, loved all my other Missions but they are all 15lb. Wondering if I should alter layout a bit to compensate. I am slightly speed dominant and don't want it to skate any in the mids, but am fearful of drilling for earlier read than my $250K and then having it hit like a marshmellow.
