I must say that this ball is a home run! Not just a home run but a grand slam. Not only because of the catchy name, but because of the way the core and coverstock compliment each other all around. Being a female with higher ball speed and not a ton of hand, where I struggle with lane play is that when a pattern forces me left I don't always have enough hand for my equipment to make the corner. However, with this ball I can just slow down and let the ball do the work for me and strike all day. We decided to drill this ball neutral (pin above my bridge, CG stack in the middle of the palm), so that we could let the natural characteristics of the ball to take over. I loved it out of box, but I loved it even more when I got on sport patterns and put 2000 on the cover. The Tri-sphere core just revs up in the midlane and then has continuous motion off the breakpoint. I'm expecting to see some big numbers this season from the Optimus. This is a must have for everyone this year! Science fiction is becoming science fact!
