    Looks like a great ball -- hooks like a mother. But it apparently doesn't come in 12# for me!

    I saw Bill O'Neill using it on the telecast for the Bear Open Tuesday night. Looks pretty sweet. He didn't have a lot of success with it though. I've been wanting to buy an Assassin, might just wait and get the Legend. I like the idea of the ball not being as aggressive as the deadly aim and still having the carbon fiber. I've seen more than one being thrown around here (Deadly Aim), and had a chance to throw a few with one a few days ago. The sound is different, but the carry is incredible. Just a bit too aggressive for what I'm looking for, I already have the Mastermind that I absolutely love.

    Really wish ball companies would make videos with real bowlers to show what the ball will really do. Having their Amateur/Pro staff throw the ball makes every single video look exactly the same. This goes for all ball companies. The only ball videos I will watch anymore is Lane Side Reviews.

    Don't blame you I'm sure every ball looks good with a guy who throws 18 or more mph with 400 revs. Show me what it does with a guy who throws 13-14 and 250-300 like most bowlers.
