I am not a big fan of urethane ball but the Super Natural is the exception. The cover provides more length than the original Natural and with a bigger backend motion. The backend motion is more than the Natural Pearl or the Natural. The layout I chose for the Super Natural is pin at 1:30 from the grip and 3 3/8 from my PAP with no extra hole or 100 X 3 3/8 X 45 for the dual angle people. My axis point is 5 5/8 over and ¾ up, Rev rate around 300, Ball Speed around 15 mph and I am more of a up the back of the ball guy. I prefer to go straighter through the front part of the lane. Honestly the only reason why I drilled the Super Natural is for the shorter PBA and Sport Patterns so I could stay within my comfort zone.

I threw the Super Natural on a house pattern and also a version of Cheetah. The house pattern was adventure especially after the carry down happened. The Super Natural was just not strong enough to make the turn or finish strong enough to get the corners out. However, before the carry down I could play farther to the right with ease and go as straight as I wanted to. The center that I bowled at does not have strong backends to begin with and the carry down took whatever backend motion away. The Super Natural was fantastic on the low volume and short Cheetah pattern. The carry down that did happen just helped the Super Natural go through the pins! The Super Natural did everything and more than I expected on the Cheetah Pattern. Like I said before, I just drilled the Super Natural for the short PBA and Sport Patterns. If my rev rate was higher and I wanted to play closer to the dry part of the lane the Super Natural is a good option.

I believe that the Super Natural is an upgrade from the Natural and Natural Pearl.
