Picking up my Beat'n in a few hours, gonna use drilling pattern #1 for high track.
Hopefully the lanes will have some oil out. This will also be my last practice session before league. I'll probably end up throwing my spare ball more than the new beat'n but looking forward to seeing what it can do.

Best of luck man, for some reason I had a hellva good first game using it OOB, and had a 194 on heavy oil. Hope it happens with you as well.

Well drilled it how I mentioned #1 high track.
As I went to get it I told the guy oiling the lanes to give me a nice shot. He was one of the kids so we wasn’t allowed to program the machine, but he said he would put out a #2 which is programmed for a shot the head lane man has been practicing on.
So I go out to throw it and decide well it’s a strong ball try swinging it. On my first shot I stand on 30 throw over 15 and the ball is just going strait, I’m starting to cringe that I’ve dumped it in the gutter. Then Boom! Out of nowhere a hard left for a strike. I yelled wow and just started laughing. I still have the grin on my face. :D This ball has no mid lane pick up but a crazy turn on the back end. I tried my comfort line standing on 20 and throwing over 10 but this ball went crazy Brooklyn even with a few boards adjustment it was apparent I wasn’t able to play from the out side. It took a few shots to find my line, which was standing on 25, aiming at 15. Throwing good speed and really getting under the ball, it was coming back with huge flare and I would consider my self more of a tweener than a canker. But this ball was killing the pocket. Strike after strike and even a heavy nose hit and the pins when flying. I missed my mark a few times and didn’t hit the head pin, but only the head pin was left. Keep in mind this is a14 pound ball, it hits like a tank (I have half 14 and half 15 equipment, but if the new hammers keep hitting like this I may not get any more 15s). So I decide to see if this is heavy oil or not as my ball is hooking like it’s a dry Christmas tree. So I grab my blade pearl throw it the same line 25/15 and the ball slide right into the 10 pin. My driller joins me and sees me throw a few so he picks up his TNV and tries a similar line and goes way long. He’s playing about 10 boards right of me (and he has more revs than I do). Well he puts the TNV away and brings out a PBA inferno sanded down and he’s still playing way straighter then me. After about 30 minute I had to move 3 boards left then 15 minutes later I was playing 35 through 15 to 5 and the pins where flying.
My verdict so far is this ball is amazing, a true skid flip on a heavier shot. I can’t wait until league. I’m curious how this plays on a medium condition but if I’m this far left on heavy I have a feeling I’ll be rock’n the big block on the lighter shot which is ok. Also a side note in our shop in Canada there where zero black widows last year (I know odd but keep in mind there aren’t a tone of bowlers here) but this year our shop guy brought in a bunch of BWP’s an Angers, I believe my league edge will go down…
