I still do... Its funny, i have had this ball for about 1.5 years and havent used it much.  I used to only use it when the lanes were dry and the ball was dull and i would throw it pretty hard straight up the boards and the ball would hit like a monster.  The ball just didnt seem to hook that much.  However for some reason on the same shot at the same house the ball began hooking much more.  i polished it up and it still hooked alot so i hadnt thrown it all this year since it began hooking more and i had other balls that already fit this mold.  Last week i decided to start swinging (it gets down the lane fairly easy and then a nice hard arc to the pocket) this ball (playing my 'A' line) and killed it, shooting 765 and winning two pots.. So i guess now the ball is my go to ball on my 'A' line and I hope to continue the high scores.

When my stuff was late to Nationals in Reno this year, I had to buy new equipment.  Got a great deal at the L/LM booth on a Big R Bang, Big Bang, and Arrow for a spare ball.

Used the Big Bang for all 9 games at Nationals and was very pleased.  More oil and a longer pattern this year and the Big Bang (Pin below Ring, CG kicked out)  gave me a hard arc recovery without over reaction, even in doubles and singles where in past tournaments I have had to pull my dryest lane stuff out to cope with the big back ends.

This year in league it is in my bag every night but (late league) we haven't had enough oil so I have used the Big R Bang ( 4 x 4, pin above ring) almost exclusively and it has worked great.  However, in practice sessions at a house with more oil I have the same reaction as at Reno.  I feel good that with medium to medium/heavy oil conditions I will have the right ball.  Not for really heavy though.
