Since I've been coming to this site, there have been lots of message threads about how bad this ball is, or how great that one is.
I think it's interesting that a ball in one hand can be terrible, and yet, in the hands of another, it's the best thing ever!!!
For example, my teammate just got a Vertigo. Won it in a drawing, and the storm rep said that was the ball he should go with. So he did. I'm not sure how it's laid out, but it looks awful in his hand, burning up at about 45 feet on most shots around here. I don't know exactly what the layout is, but I bet it's pretty condition specific.
I bought one a couple of weeks ago. My driller agonized over how to lay it out so that I didn't have a single condition specific ball. I LOVE it. Now, I don't take it out of the bag on a second shift league, and I've learned when to put it away, but it's a great ball.
My teammate watched me pull it out yesterday and throw it for a couple of games. His quote was "well, in your hand, I can see why you like that ball. It looks FANTASTIC!" So, I suggested he take it back to his driller and have him re-lay it out more like mine, so he could have a more versatile reaction.
As far as I'm concerned, it's not the balls fault!
