11/12/14: Threw it on my THS post league, pattern is 38' buffed to 45' using Kegel Infinity oil with a Kegel machine, OB outside 5, new Linds Pins and Brunswick Anvilanes. Played up 15 at the arrows to 8 board at 45' rangefinders. Tossed games of 214-248-227 with quite a few 10 pins (flat, solid, etc.....), it did Rev up nicely in the Midlane as to be expected from this layout. I did compare it to the "Buzz Legend" drilled 45x4x30 with a P2 WH, was able to play pretty much the same line with both with slightly better carry with the "Answer" as of today.

Update on 11/14/14: Compared the "Answer" to my "Bloody Cross" (55x3-1/2x60, with a P2 WH) on 1-1/2 days of carrydown. The "Answer" did not perform as well on the carrydown, which is a problem I normally see with the RICO layout, the "Bloody Cross" on the other hand was much livelier in the midlane and backend and was much more successful in kicking out the corner pins. The "Answer" on this condition would leave an abundance of flat 10's which is what I expected it to do. I will try to compare to a few others this upcoming week.
