Thank you!

I can't Wait to see how it reacts. Unfortunately, I'm not at a level to write a comprehensive review, as I'm still learning about balls, conditions, etc.

I went to a professional, and started from the beginning. Once I can get the ball to the foul line and release it consistently, we will move on to the oil patterns, break point, releases, etc.

All that said, I will definitely let you know how it works for me, on my house shot.

:D

It arrived yesterday! Looking at the paperwork, it appears Storm just forgot to send it.

I'm not sure if I want to have it drilled for THS or look into a PBA experience league and have it drilled accordingly.

Since I've only been back to the sport 8 months after 29 years, and still working on my release, I may just stick with THS layout for now.

to see the full potential of the ball i would do either the ths layout which is key layout #1.. or if you really want some hook you can try key layout #2 which is the tournament layout. that is a 4x4 layout. I have that layout on my virtual gravity and virtual energy... im prety sure thats the # layouts..i am at work and dont have my layout pages with me..

with just coming back i would look more toward the #1 layout.. it is a little more forgiving if you miss...

Wow 4x4 on VE? isnt that like super agressive?

JaxBowlingGuy

thats the most aggressive of the key layouts. i use that on most of my key balls (shift line).. my shift is 3 3/8 x 3 3/8...

I had it drilled Wednesday night just before league,and chose THS layout. I rolled 172, 200, and 190. I just wasn't sure what it was going to do, and tried to guess at adjustments.

I just don't know enough about, layouts, patterns, and reading the oil just yet. I trust my driller to lay it out based on the house and my style, so far he's done OK.

I plan to use it in practice this week end, and see what I van do.
