I drilled this ball specifically for the Scorpion-type patterns.
My first time using this ball came on the Chameleon. I knew the ball was going to be a bit strong, but I couldn’t help but use it all three games that night. The ball was easy through the heads and quite strong at the end of the pattern. I was standing 25-30, using a breakpoint of around 6-8 and the ball recovered every time. I could NOT over-throw the ball. My normal issue is pulling the ball and I had a small bit of hold at the beginning of the set, but it did not last all night. As I continued to move left, and increased my speed, the ball was just too much. Not to mention this was a 3 game series with a total of 6 bowlers (2 lefties) and the shot was getting too beat up for me to keep using the Marvel S.
I was impressed with the movement and carry. With the box finish, it was exceptionally smooth and predictable.
After having the opportunity to use the ball on some house patterns and the Detroit Open pattern, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is the strongest ball in my bag. The ball is quite smooth off of the pattern and recovers quite well. Overall, it covers more boards than any other ball in my bag. I don’t get to use it very often, but when I do, it is just plain fun to roll.
For mediums and heavy patterns, I would say this is a must have.
