    If it's good enough for PDW, it's good enough for me!

    Thank you for all the input and tidbits!

    Decisions, decisions.

    Thanks again for the input. I ended up with the First Blood. My husband bought it for me as a motivation to heal quickly and get back on the lanes after surgery. It worked. I looked at that purty new ball for two months just dreaming about bowling! I was about ready to go down to the local center and pull out the kiddie ramp. No joke!

    I'm finally back on the lanes. Yay!! So happy just to be bowling!! I love it!! The first few games were a bit rusty for sure 120's-130's. We bowled all three days of the long weekend and my scores started creeping up 140s-150s. The First Blood is really nice. I practiced yesterday at lunch 148, 166, 169. It's starting to feel pretty good in my hand. It's a good looking ball too!

    Now my husband wants one. His birthday is next month. I see a First Blood in his future! It'll be a big upgrade from his Freeze!!

    Congrats on the First Blood and welcome back to bowling.

    This ball is now my go to ball on my 2 leagues. Does well on house shots as well as heavier oil patterns.

    I dont own one but it looks awesome when i see people using it in league for many different styles and lines. Also being a hybrid is always a plus!
