Hello all and thanks for reading. Hope you find this review helpful. We are reviewing the Victory Road with a drill pattern of 70 x 4 x 40 and comparing it to the Reign Supreme with the same layout and surface. You can see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbb4o9113fw
What you will notice in the video listed above is a much longer skid prior to making a down lane move. This ball holds onto a lot of energy and releases it all at once producing some fairly extreme angles. For purposes of the video we left the surface the same and worked with it but I have had extremely good luck taking the surface down with a 4000 abralon pad to help smooth out the transition at the break point. Compared to the Reign Supreme, it is 2 to 3 boards stronger downlane and at least 1 to 2 feet later down lane as well. This produces a very extreme angle to the pocket increasing carry percentage on the lighter hits. The line is similiar as you will see from the video but the motion is much more abrupt. Some very good hitting power and great entry angles make this ball a great replacement for the Hy Road. What the Hy Road may have lacked in entry angle, you certainly gain that with this ball. Excellent addition at a steal of a price.
