    He was on the way out of the shop to leave for a league so he didn't explain it, he doesn't like the nano covers...my 2 options is Vivid and Crossroad or Taboo Jet Black and Elevate....

    Sounds like he had a bad night bowling and he blamed it on the ball instead of himself

    I hope another company is got him on contract to say that, because the Vivid is far from sucking. In fact, I shot a 267 with mine last night. Along with a 236 with an open with my Defiant, and a 269 with my Marvel Pearl. The Vivid is an amazingly strong ball, that reads the midlane enough, but not too much, and has more power into the pins than anything I have seen since my orignal Virtual Gravity. It is amazing! Maybe he meant it stinks? Because the fresh mint scent is a bit strong in the nostril

    Damn, sounds good, he recommended the Defiant because he doesn't like the Nano covers but you think I should get the Vivid, Crossroad 1-2punch or Crossroad and something else?.....

    I think the Vivid makes a better starting ball for the Crossroad. I think that is your best option for a 1-2 punch. I find my Defiant and Marvel Pearl to be a good 1-2 punch also. I think the first two are better for most people.

    I haven't found one yet, other than the scent being a bit stronger than I like. I have thrown my Vivid on our house shot with great success, and shot excellent in a tournament with it on Sunset Strip sport pattern. I will be bringing it to Nationals with me too. We will see how long the coverstock lasts, but right now it is holding up great!
