I loved the Dark Star on a medium or dry shot. This ball should be ideal for a house shot. In a typical league shot I could play outside the second arrow most of the night. As the conditions broke down, I could easily move in 3-5 boards and stay in the pocket. With the pearl finish, this ball has a sharp backend and makes a quick continuous move to the pocket.

My Dark Star was drilled with a 4 X 4 layout from my PAP with the pin above the fingers keeping the box finish.

This ball cleared the heads great. In the mid-lane the ball revved up nicely and made a solid, sharp move to the pocket.



The Dark Star has a very predictable reaction. This is great for the league player. As the lanes transition, I made slight adjustments with ball speed and angle and was able keep the ball in play and use this ball all night long.

This ball surprised me and played a lot stronger than you would expect based on the specs. I was getting 4-5 inches of flair and bouncing the ball off the dry all night.
