title speaks for itself. have you faced any problems with this ball? would you recommend it to someone else

Rolls great, no problems here, maintains continuation when moving in as well. Unheard of from a strong assymetrical ball for me.

only 12 games on mine, but rolling and scoring very well. north of 220 for the four sets in 2 different houses. 240 on synthetics. very happy just need to know when to put it away at the wood house.

I've only got to throw it 6 games so far. When this ball makes its move, it seems to pick up speed and just go into a hard roll. Very strong and responds well to hand/ wrist adjustments and surface changes which is what I look for in a ball. I'll update when I throw it some more, but I'm already thinking about buying another and drilling it another way.

Totally agree - out of box it keeps its surface without changing - it's a monster!

Absolutely. I'm afraid to try it polished. At box finish, it was hard to control at the house I bowl most of the time, but I loved the reaction. If I get another I want to try a pin down drill just to see what she will do. May have to make a road trip to try at some different houses. Definitely a keeper for me.

If you punch up another one, please post what happens. As soon as I threw it in warm up I was hooked and thought about another one also. The only thing is in oil, you have move quick or ball down after about 2 games.

Will do. Probably in a couple weeks, when I build up some more fun money. lol

Funny - the only reason I got this one was the wife went on trip with her mother - it was on her bucket list. And I got another ball! She spends money on something and I get a ball. LoL

I don't have one of these, but I watched some guys throw it at a tournament I bowled in this past weekend. From what I observed, I got the impression this ball will be better for playing straighter through the front portion of the lane as opposed to trying to get way in and really swinging it. Does anyone else get that feeling, or did I get a slanted view based on who I saw throwing it?

I cant wait to drill mine. i hope this ball works for me the way they have said it will.
i am glad they look the nano additive out of the coverstock. i personally didnt like it look much

I strongly disagree, what makes this ball good is you can get in with it. The ball youre describing sounds like a Marvel Pearl but thats another story.

Well, it wasn't that I didn't think you could get in at all, but it looked like it would be better getting in and playing really tight to the pocket. I could see someone playing a gentle belly from inside, but it didn't look like there would be much there for guys who really wanted to swing it and bring it. From what I saw, it looked as if the ball would read early and perhaps use up too much energy for guys trying to do that. However, as I said, I only saw a couple of guys throwing them. Maybe my perspective would've been different if the ball was in different hands.

Ordered mine tonite and i also picked up a nib nano pearl....and have all the other storm/roto high end stuff so hopefully i can make some comparisons..a video would be cool..Maybe ill have to do one.

I havent decided if i want it strong and controllable or sharp and angular. i am off at work nearly 2000 miles from home and i have been debating on that subject for a long time now
