Likes: I know this is an older release, but I came across this one that hadn't been used. Having always wanted to try one, I decided to go for it. The drilling is a simple pin under bridge. With the three inch pin length, this put the cg above and right of the thumbhole at about a 1:30 position. With my pap measurement of 4 1/8> 1/2^, this gives me a 4 X 4, or a 60 X 4 X 80 when using the dual angle technique.
At the OOB finish, the ball was smooth but VERY strong. On the volume we have, it was soon apparent that this was going to be too much surface for our shot. Not liking to tinker too much, I simply added a good polish job over the oob surface. This seemed to really "wake up" the ball.
The ball is now one of my favorite balls. With the polish, it is so clean through the fronts, yet still displays the ability to read the midlane, and has one of the truest, strong arcing reactions I have seen in a long time.
It may not be the latest, but it has been one of the best balls I've used, and I'm an admitted "ball whore" who's used way too many balls in my time, so my comparison database is a very wide one. This really is one good piece.
