Hard hitting "entry-level" reactive ball By Brando from Savannah, GA
Reviewed on: 7/31/2009 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, League Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Image Submitted by Reviewer:Customer Image (Hard hitting This was my first reactive resin ball drilled with a fingertip layout. I learned how to hook with this bowling ball. I bowl in a "practice" league right now. The ball does great in light-medium oil, but suffers a bit on the heavier oil. Ive adjusted the surface a few times but usually keep it at 2000 with factory finish polish and it works great for where I bowl. Was this review helpful to you?
