Thanks Ty. Can you describe its reaction? Or can anyone else? Never seen one in action myself. Thanks.

Never thrown one.. But what I can tell. Goes long and FLIPS hard. Continous through the pocket. I have seen 1 guy with low revs (older man) use it very well. Seen 2 guys with average to a little above average revs and about 16 mph use it well also. I thought it was going to miss the pocket, then it turned hard!

I haven't seen any Triple X's where I bowl, but in talking to people that have seen them or have them would agree with what Ty said. The BTM magazine gave the Triple X a score of 9 for medium conditions which is their highest score. The Triple X Extreme was rated 8 for medium and 9 for oil by BTM. The Triple X has a bit longer length rating than the Extreme. I have a very good friend on this site that has had the Triple X and now has the Extreme and he sold his Triple X and swears by the Extreme. It depends on the conditions you bowl on plus how much hand you have as to which would work best for you. I don't have much hand so I have the Extreme on order now to go with my Depth Charge. I think with polish I will be able to use the Extreme on medium and without polish om medium-heavy. I never see heavy oil here.
