Dark Star Shines Bright

[tonybowler]

The Dark Star, is a pretty purple ball that will have your competition mystified on its outstanding performance, more noted, its hitting power. The pearl reactive shell tends to be a little skid flip when out of the box. If this is what you’re looking for, then keep the box 1500 polish cover. I like my reaction better with taking the surface to 2000 light abralon and no polish. This evened out the skid flip reaction and made the ball transitions smoother. It goes through the heads with ease and revs up quickly, next is the big move to the pocket. I have my Dark Star drilled with a 4.5” pin and it is just under the fingers and the CG kicked out 50 degrees. This layout produces high flare rings. Even with this drill pattern this ball still plays very well with a deep inside line. The back end is continuous through the pins. The Dark Star compliments the Riot’s ball reaction when the lane condition has transitioned to more on the medium to dryer side. ;)
