I set up this Pitch Black with a 30x5x70 layout. Ball really does what I need it to do on some super burn or some short sports patterns leagues. What I really like about this ball is how it rolls where you need it to and still finishes down lane. It starts that roll early in the mid so that it doesn't overpower itself at the end. The out of box surface was just right on this ball, I didn't feel like it needed any extra help from some surface or less surface to push further down. This is the one ball I'll always be able to get to the right with and really trust the ball.
