Brunswick Meanstreak

Just got this ball last week and after two leagues I will say that it is definitely the longest roller. Unfortunately it don't have a very high hook potential so when it does hook it is not very forceful, IMO. My ball speed is about 14-14.5 and I'm a stroker. It works well on medium oil for me. I bought it primarily to start using a 14lb ball rather than my 15's. The lower weight does enable me to have more control over the release. I going to try going to 2000 and see if it increases the hook any.

As a follow up I did sand the ball with 2000 and then polished with Factory Finish and the ball now hooks better and the length while still long is just a tad shorter. I bowled very well with it today at league on medium low oil.

Great to hear. I tried one as a demo at a local lane and it was just too snappy for me.

That's crazy. My meanstreak is hooking more than any other ball I own. Well, It doesn't hook much until the end, but it turns so hard I have to play deep for the turn to hit the pocket. What sucks is I bought it to be a strait ball with a good backend, but it's functioning as a deep ball.
