Reign of Power review by Dan Schaden Jr

[StoRoto2013]

The Reign of Power is a very early rolling ball with a very continuous backend motion. The layout I used was pin over the fingers with cg slightly kicked out the dual angle numbers are 65 X 5 ½ X 55. The Reign of Power in box condition wants to start up very soon and be very continuous. In my humble opinion, the Reign of Power is the earliest rolling ball I have ever thrown in box condition. You need oil in the heads for this ball to work at its best. I am not saying that this is a bad thing but just stating what I see. I tried throwing the Reign of Power on a typical house pattern and it rolled early and lost some of its motion on the backend. However, I moved farther left and opened up my angles and the Reign of Power made me look like a Cranker! My rev rate is somewhere around 300 and I throw the ball around 15 mph. I was covering a lot of the lane in order to get the Reign of Power to the pocket but it still hit. I added some polish to it and the Reign of Power came to life! I touched up the surface with a 2000 pad and some Xtra Shine and that helped with getting the ball through the heads and the backend motion increased drastically! If you like the Reign of Fire this ball is a little more aggressive and a touch earlier! For me I am going to take some of the polish off it (Fresh 4000) and throw it kind of dull so it will fit into my bag between the IQ Tour and the Defiant Soul!
