Had a good practice today with my 5.0, tried it gloss polish for the first time and with the correct size inserts too(just bought 4 sets!!) Was having trouble with this ball burning up too early with clean and sheen on the surface but this ball has really come to life with the polish. With my favorite mb position (near VAL) and a pretty strong pin position it gives me a strong break with forward roll backend and hard hit(no soft 10's with that surface shined off!!). Just have to get to work with my Machine now, havent quite got the hang of him yet, some cracked plug around the thumb needs a fix and maybe a layout change wouldnt hurt too. With a Robo and Angular (and most probably nib Thrash) to come soon i'll be busy as ever!!

ps
You were right about the 5.0 hooking more than the machine too George, reckon i'll be glossing up the Robo when i get it too!!

Time for some REAL bowling!!!
