Just realized that the layout on both the Drive and the new Hyper Cell Fused are the same. I don't get into many details about layout with my driller, he knows how I bowl so I let him decide how a ball will fit into my arsenal.

Just out of curiosity vdub, what are you noticing the main differences are between how these two balls roll for you? I was actually looking at both these balls to fill a spot in my bag.
Do you find the Drive less aggressive but more predictable? Some insight from you would be wonderful.
Thanks

Hey bubba,
Hyper Cell Fused is definitely a more angular motion down the lane. Gets through the front of the lane and when it hits friction makes it's move.
For me, I needed to take the polish off of it just a bit as it was a bit to sharp on the back end for me.
Drive is a more continuous motion down the lane. Gets through the front of the lane and starts it's move in a more controllable fashion I think than the Fused. The Drive is going to be a great ball for me on the Sport conditions at Nationals I think.
I plan on getting some reaction videos of the Drive this weekend when I practice. Can then compare ball motion between the two.

Thanks for the feedback. Been using the Sure Lock and as you probably know, that is alot of ball. I've had my eye on these two for a bit and appreciate your findings.
May go for the Drive. Gonna talk the good old PSO.
Thanks and great bowling vdub!

Here is my video for the Drive. During my practice I was testing couple lines.
Keeping it inside it just would not kick out the corners today.

Last week ended my string of 700 series with a crashing thump on Thursday.
Tuesday night - 682
Thursday night - 593, just had horrible timing and could not get anything going, just one of those days.
So, went and got some practice to get my timing back.
Took a couple shots of practice and then did a comparison of one shot against a shot from a week or two ago practice. Think I am back to my regular self, but guess will see how that theory holds tomorrow night. LOL.

Current arsenal

Extremely tough pair(47-48 - end pair of house), was only one even close to 600 series.

Couple bad shots and a missed 10 pin spare messed me up in the middle game.
