@DP3. The ball is very strong. That was the USBC Blue pattern from the night before, I was the first person to touch the that pair since it was oiled. I also used it on a 43' 3-1 25mil pattern at the same house and it handled that great. It did hook but it was controlled and predictable. I have a few videos of other Lord Field products. Heritage, Judgement, and Torment.
