What else are you throwing? Love mine. Thinking about getting another one! It's a monster! Since getting it I have shot 680 2 times  and 700 3 times, only 5 sets with it. Using it out of box @ 4000. Stronger that my critical theory, marvel and fringe.

I have two.  Completely different reaction and love both.

He must not have the head oil for his stats to get the ball downlane. Must have oil to use the equipment and must do research before plopping down $200 for a ball. After selling and drilling a boat load of them and watching them go down the lane, I will say, its by far the strongest thing I've ever seen go down the lane. If you dont have oil, its a "dart" meaning it'll burn up at your ankles and puke before the arrows. Dont confuse longer less volume patterns with head oil. You can have a pattern with light head oil but a lot of length and still not get the Lucid to hook because its not getting thru the heads. YOU MUST HAVE HEAD OIL!!!!!

I thought it was frutiy pebbles but it has been a long while since I have had either and probably could not tell the difference today.

Don't know about Fruit Loops but it definitely has the strongest smell since the Fear Factor. I was actually glad I didn't bowl well with that ball to get rid of it, lol. The plum was a little too much for me.

I just drilled my Lucid the other day. Pin over bridge and mb right next to thumb. I only threw a few shots on a house shot today. The Lucid has a strong midlane with a continuous backend motion. The ball definitely needs oil up front especially with the out of box surface. The lucid is very similar to the Critical Theory but just not with an angular motion on the back.

Anyone try theirs with MB kicked way out?
