Moves as advertised. By MrH from San Mateo, CA
Reviewed on: 7/22/2009 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Big Hook, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface Cons:Hard to control Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I'm a medium rev bowler, 190 average, so, definitely not a review from a pro here, but: This ball is great. The one problem I am having with it is, it's hard to control. I think it's kind of a blessing in disguise because I am learning how to increase my speed while keeping control. The backend is pretty good, not great, hits fairly solid, but that might be my bowling style. Overall an 8 out of 10 for me. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Loved it.. at first By V from Big Spring, TX
Reviewed on: 2/6/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I bought this ball as an upgrade from a Hammer Vibe. Loved the ball out of the box, three weeks after having it I bowled my first 300. As time went on I noticed it wasn't hooking as great. It seemed after about 100-150 games I had to adjust my start point, I still use this ball, it is very controllable and still helps the occassional bad throw. But as I mentioned its lost some of its potential and my Vibe is now the more aggressive ball of the two. On a good note, I can now hit a 10 pin with it! Was this review helpful to you?

mega friction By stanisaurus from Chicago, Illinois
Reviewed on: 9/27/2009 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I throw a high rev rate. This ball came out of the box and was put to the test on a 53 foot pattern and it finished clean. Then I took it to league and shot 807 with its first time seeing house. But then soon after the mega friction stopped finding friction. TO this day its still a very useful ball and carries great Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Another great AMF ball By Asheboro's Finest from Asheboro, NC
Reviewed on: 6/2/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend If you have a lot of hand this ball won't be at box finish long. This was the first AMF ball I purchased and it has several hundred games and it is still a beast. With proper care and the occasion baking this ball will last several seasons. It is definite must for those long heavy sport patterns and with polish it can works well on a house shot. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
