Hi Jos, I’ve tried several balls, and managed to keep 3 that I like.
The Black Pearl, So far found it really good on synthetics, revs up nicely and rolls beautifully in a gentle arc on a leverage drilling, hook rating is quite high
The Ns2, Once again leverage drilling, it's an early rolling ball, I polished mine up to get it down the lane further and found it to be quite controllable, needs oil other wise it's all over
The Ap2, Best ball I found so far. Beautiful arc on all conditions, drilled mine to go long and the go to ball if nothing else gets down the lane.
The Masterpiece, Drilled it leverage, only to find it goes under over alot on normal house shot, not controllable for me, tossed it
The World Class, Drilled it leverage, not a bad ball, definitely a skid flip ball for me and moved quite a few boards late, and gave me a bad angle into the pocket at times. I could only bowl it in the fresh because once it hit the dry boards it started to flip, tossed it
The Hornet, Drilled it leverage, It's a dry lane ball, had to slow down to get this ball to roll, sometimes over under, just couldn't get the right condition to use it on, tossed it
The Straight Flush, Drilled it leverage, Once again a dry lane ball, rolls in a continuous arc, turns more than the hornet and it's only got a pancake for a core, not bad.
The Worlds Class reactive, Same drilling as above, Found it very over under straight out of the box. Sanded it back and gave it a matt finish on to find no difference. Tossed it
The Absolute power, Same drilling, and again over under for me. Not confident in throwing it, tossed it
The New Standard, A great Ball goes longer than the NS2 and has the same hook angle just further down the lane. Polished it up and found it went a bit over under, so recommend leaving box finish on this one, not a bad ball.
