I think I figured out the genius. There just wasn't enough oil on the lanes. On the oilier league lanes this ball is a monster. I had 11 straight perfect pocket hits with it tonight, rung 4 10s, no flat tens, 7 strikes. The guy I was bowling with said it could've easily been a 250+ game if I made a few more of those darn 10 pins. Operation buy a spare ball is in effect haha!
