I was amazed By Ohpse from Chesterfield, VA
Reviewed on: 4/9/2011 Unverified Pros:Very Forgiving Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:Casual Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I stopped bowling for 15 years and decided to get back into it. In my prime I had a 175 average. It only took me two practice session and I was consistently rolling 190+. My higest so far is a 262. I had the ball drilled to have a slight hook in the back end and I love it....I am going to join a league this fall..I have fallen in love with bowling again thanks to this ball.

I Am Infected By RRW from Florida
Reviewed on: 2/23/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Bought this ball right before my league started Monday night. Without having any practice time I bowled a 164 my first game. Once I adjusted I bowled a 203 and a 237 for a 604 series. Not bad for the first time using it! The ball will hold if you throw it inside and recover if you throw it outside. I've even tried playing a straight line with it and it has enough length and versatility for this to work. I've been bowling for just under 2 years and average about a 175, but with this ball I've been averaging closer to 190. Definitely a great ball to add to any arsenal! Was this review helpful to you?

Wow what an upgrade! By Trip Tens For A Living from Daly City, CA
Reviewed on: 8/27/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Extremely versatile cover Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments, Upgrade Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Got it because of a ball demo. 205 average. 1 month after I drill it I shoot 800 on the nose, 254-299-247. The reaction on any shot is so forgiving. The weightblock is the same as the Black Widow Solid and that sold me, so I got a second one! Was this review helpful to you?
