    I love the way the First Blood rolls but people are raving about the Deadly Aim. Flip a coin.

    I have the first blood at 2000 abralon, and 2 deadly aim's..one with box finish and one at 1500 drilled just a tad stronger.

    Simply put, the deadly aim is the best ball i have ever thrown. My 1500 grit ball out hooks my mastermind by a couple boards for me with devastating carry. The box finish ball is longer and more angular coming off the spot just like you would expect.

    I really like the first blood too, but the deadly aim is just too good to put down.

    One of my teamates has the cold blood and does not like it. He leaves alot of corner pins with it and doesnt care for the ball motion or the carry. I have thrown it a couple of times and really didnt care for it either.

    You cant go wrong with either the first blood or the deadly aim. For me right now though, the deadly aim is the best of the best.

    thank you for the info i did just pick up a used firstblood with only a few games on it, and pretty sure i'll be going with the deadly aim also, i'm getting ready to start a pba sport league and need some variety in my arsenal, i'm so used to rolling on a THS all my current balls are drilled the same lol

    Default deadly Aim

    Its one of my two favorite balls. I like the movement and sound of the low flying pins when they fly low off the deck! It's right up there with my Virtual Gravity nanno pearl. I did add Brunswick High Polish 5000 grit to mine for a violent SNAP into the pocket with energy to SPARE, but no need to spare with all the strikes you get!! LOL

    I did see 3 other guys on my small high rollers league Monday night... maybe 8 teams, and 6 300 games and a couple 800 this year. I believe most have averages of 210 up to 230, all male, throwing Deadly Aim balls not including myself.

    I would recommend the Deadly Aim!

    If you are wanting variety, I wouldn't get the Deadly Aim along with the First Blood. They are very similar in the RG and Diff.
