I no longer have the issue, but they gave it decent backend and length ratings.

I do not follow what BTM says much anymore, because everything I have thrown I found to be different than the way they rate them. Example----they give the SuperFreak more length than they give the Mutant, and that is just simply not the case. The SuperFreak is all about early roll and really hook----and covering boards in oil as well----the Mutant gets down the lane much further and has far more backend than the Super Freak.

Ric,

I read that issue tonight at the bowl.  They said it was too strong for the typical house shot.  I don't know how much oil they are putting down but it is probably not enough according to BTM.  However, I also take their reviews with a grain of salt.  They gave the game pearl a 9 on heavy oil.  What????  A polished pearl on heavy oil.  Right......
