COMMENTS
I was extremely excited to see this ball released! I had been a huge fan of the Nomad Dagger and was looking for a ball with a little more length and the same amount of control.
This ball has blown me away and exceeded my expectations greatly which were set very high! The ball gets through the front of the lane very easily which is to be expected, but the read I get in the middle is amazing. It has a heavy roll to it, making it controllable and consistent like solid. But, gets far enough down the lane to handle pattern break down. When I had to bump in with my feet because of burnt heads the ball read the lane great and still produced enough angle to kick out the ten.
If anybody is looking for that perfect "Benchmark" ball, this is the clear winner in that category!!! This will be the first ball out of my bag weather it be in regular league or tournament play.
