Modern Throwback

Likes: Very predictable ball motion, fresh heads/backends

Dislikes: Hard to open up the pocket at times

My layout: 55 degrees x 4/12 inches x 65 degrees.
My PAP: 5 7/8 inches over and 3/8 inches up.

Overall I really like Modern Marvel, it gives me a different look than any other ball in my bag. This ball is especially good when keeping the ball in play is important. I don't see this as a ball that will help open up the backend or create pocket area, at least not with the layout I chose. It's great when going up the boards and when you need a predictable ball motion.

I have used the Modern Marvel on the 2012 Nationals patter on a Brunswick surface, a 43' House pattern on AMF surface and a modified house pattern (around 42'-43' but not 100% sure) on AMF surface. All lane patterns were fresh. The characteristic of the ball that struck me the strongest was the lack of overreaction or at least less than I would see with high end asymmetric balls making this a ball that is very easy to trust.

I can see the Modern Marvel being a go to ball early on in team event at the Nationals this year.
