I bought this on release day the same time the Widow 3.0 came out. Drilled them both. I wanted this one to replace my Purple Solid and be a ball I could throw straight up the 10 on most house shots. Turns out, this one needed more oil than I thought. While it truly is a low-flaring ball, it really has an aggressive backend when throwing straight up or with about 5 boards of angle. I goes pretty clean through the midlane at about 16mph for me and I can play middle of approach with it. I shot some 270 games with it once I found a good "zone" to play house shots with, but this ball has the least amount of forgiveness when missing your mark. When it gets just a tiny bit of friction it likes to take off. When there is a bit of carry down it likes to get "wobbly" and not move at all. This ball is good for a first game on fresh, but I'm not confident enough with it to keep it in the bag. I do take it to tournaments but have yet to throw it.
