Couldn't agree more with the folks at Lane Side Reviews. I myself have thrown this ball and was pleasantly surprised also by the earlier roll due to the hybrid coverstock. I'm a right handed rev dominant player at around 415 rpm's and 15.5 mph. On a THS I'll stand between 13-10 left and play between 8-5 depending on the condition. I also agree with their mention of the great angles you can play, which does indeed increase carry percentage. This should definitely be the first ball out of your bag on league night. My only dislike of the ball would be the sensitivity to transition, as the hybrid cover isn't as forgiving as a pearl. It has a tendency for me to start rolling even earlier and stronger very quick. With that said, a different drilling layout or surface change can solve that problem very easily. This hybrid is a must have for your bag to start raising your average now.
