Burned 42’ THS

Review:
The Freestyle is a great ball to have for those days/nights when the lanes are hooking more than usual. I was able to create a controllable shape on a burned house shot without sacrificing carry. Even on drier lanes, the Freestyle manages to get through the pins well. With a little added surface, the Freestyle is able to create a little more shape if it is needed.

Likes:
Smooth backend reaction
Controlled motion entire lane
Versatile Coverstock

Dislikes:
None

Summary:
The Freestyle will especially be appreciated by those that battle drier lane conditions and tournament bowlers that do battle on short patterns. When the backends are really fast, the Freestyle is what you will want to pull out of the bag. With the Freestyle being on the lower end of the ball chart, it does not sacrifice any hitting power.
