Hysteria - 60 x 4 x 40 pin up - out of the box surface
Oil patterns: 42ft Kegel Flex with Fire and Ice oil and 43ft PBA regional pattern
Lane surface: HPL installed 10 years ago and rescreened in 2014
On the house pattern this ball was "scary" wicked. To make a good comparison, this ball reminds me alot of the Nomad Solid, with smidge more back end action. Was able to play any part of the lane I wanted to; 5th row, the gutter, or the track area, with even just slightly hitting the cover with a really used 4000ab pad. On the 43ft PBA pattern, it was a little delayed getting to the head pin. So, I hit the cover with an used 3000ab pad and it just gave it enough to make it playable for me. As the pattern broke down, I was able to give it a little more room left and play closer to the gutter and still have a strong enough reaction to get to the pocket and actually a better look then when the pattern was fresh.
