This was my first 2-handed ball drilled after switching over. I initially bought a 14lb and this ball really looked great going down the lane..at a mere 13mph ha.. After around 5 months my speed and revs picked up into the 15mph/460 range, I liked the ball so much that I got another one at 15lbs. I used this ball in leagues nearly every night. As my speed and revs picked up into 16-17mph/520 range I decided to buy 2 more. One was a 16lb and the other was a 15lb drilled strong. I donated my other 2 and always have the 16lb with me as a go-to Pearl when other pearls aren't working. This core and ball has been one of my favorites for quite a while now.
It has paid for itself within days. My 16lb has been resurfaced 2 times and it might be getting a flat spot from constant use. Our lanes are never consistent 😪 but the ball comes through which ever way can I manipulate it. I only go to my 15lb hybrid black widow when the lanes are truly unrelenting and i need to use a power shot.
i love this ball. i have a 13 lb it is great on medium to heavy oil especially fresh league oil. it is my go to ball. i wouldnt recommend it on dry lanes for it will upset you especially if you dont wing it at 18 mph. i throw between 14-17mph consistently
Great ball for semi-dry /dry lanes. Is also a great ball for someone who is looking to get back into the game or is starting to move up/starting to bowl more regularly. This ball will be great for anyone looking for a new league ball. Nice thing about this ball is that you don’t have to throw it at 18-20 mph to make it hook properly. I average around 14.5-16 mph and it moves like it should.
