Fast - Pin above ring finger at 4 1/2 by 4 with small extra hole on axis.
Pattern - Open Championships
This ball made a great first impression with me. I am bowling in a short season summer Sport league using the Open Championships pattern. I have been using the Hyroad and Gravity Shift for the first few weeks averaging about 215. We bowl 4 games and move pairs after each game.
Since I just drilled the Fast and Furious I was going to use them with a few shots of the Hyroad mixed in to see a difference in reaction.
In practice I threw all three balls and the Furious was very smooth (more on that ball later). The first thing I noticed about the Fast was how easy it got down the lane. It may be the cleanest ball through the front of the lane I have ever thrown. I tried to play in the same spot I have been playing with my Hyroad, but I was forced to move a couple boards further in with the Fast. My Hyroad blends the pattern out a little more so I can play a few boards further right than I could with the Fast. I even missed a few shots to the right and it got back with no problem.
The Fast is more aggressive than I thought it would be. I think it will compliment my Hyroad and Second Dimension very well. When I need more angle down lane, the Fast is the perfect ball. I am very impressed with the Fast. It had a great roll to it and for a more skid/flippy ball it was still consistent and I knew what I was getting with each shot (if that makes sense to anyone else but me). I ended up bowling 883 for the 4 games.
Furious - Pin below middle finger
Pattern - Open Championships
As I mentioned earlier the Furious is a very smooth ball. I didn't throw it for more than a few shots because I had such a good reaction with my Fast. My initial thoughts on the Furious is it will be a ball to use on fresh pattern such as Chameleon and Viper. It will give me a smooth predictable reaction to blend out any pattern. Mine is only about a 1.5 inch pin. After throwing a few shots with it, I think I am going to add a balance hole.
As I get a chance to use the Furious more, I will post more reviews.
