    One of my teammates recently bought the Fight and initially struggled with it, so I took the surface down to 1000 abralon and added Step 2 polish. Based on what I saw, I bought one for myself, and settled on 1000 abralon plus Powerhouse Factory Finish polish. With this finish, this ball has as much back end motion as I've ever seen. It hits like a truck!

    I've been using mine right out of the box from the get-go. The truck part is right on the money!

    Yes we do, the ball Wayne was throwing was a 15lbs. 1oz. ball drilled
    60°x5"x35° and if I'm not mistaken they all throw that same ball using
    switch grips so it will fit them.

    This ball has a monstrous core in it and a solid cover but it isn't
    a hook monster like some of the other stuff out on the market.

    I've seen the ball in action and it is very smooth thru the heads
    and mid lane and saves a lot of energy for when it hits the pins.

    It is going to be my next Storm ball purchase when I get around
    to buying some new equipment but I do need to clear out some
    of my older stuff first.

    what are you clearing out, maybe something I can use?...lol. Like I said I have no idea where I am since I'm bowling with a ball with the bias 2" left of the thumb hole which I'm told is a lefty drill. I am so confused it's killing me. I won't have 3-4-5 balls. I want one hooking ball 14 or 15# that will carry at 14 mph and not a great rev. All I guess i did in the last 3 months was get my approach and timing back a bit. never realized that my ball wouldn't hook because it was not drilled for a righty.
