They call it light to medium, I call it a strong Medium ball. I had to put extender on mine to get it down the lane when they are dry. Its a great ball though, I recommend one for anyone

my ball speed is 14.5-16.00 mph. to get down far enough, mine had to be polished for medium oil, and even then i may have trouble depending on how dry the lanes are. it is not a light oil ball. it has been a bit too strong for me when i've taken it to open bowling. if you are a stroker then drill it weak and you should be ok. otherwise, drill it VERY weak, not only a little weak. mine is only a little weak and i wish i drilled it weaker, don't make this mistake i did if u want a true light oil ball.

Eight, if u want a light oil, either drill it pin in track, or pin on axis, both flare none or very very little. Don't worry, pin axis is one of the best drills for drier lanes because its very predictable, and its not a huge snap.

i wish my pin was closer to the track, but it is only over the middle finger.

This is mine. Its the length layout now with that said i have high revs with a ball speed right around 14 mph. With this layout i find that i get a good snap of the breakpoint and its pretty predictable, i wish i would have gotten it drilled a bit weaker though.

Yes its stronger than most expect it to be. And Stampy's comment of strong medium is pretty accurate. But for short patterns and light oil, its still pretty good. Provided you don't drill it very strong and you keep it polished. xGatez's layout is great for that ball. The Blue Vibe is still stronger overall. If you really want to smooth out that ball. Throw 10 games with the cover at 4000 and no polish. Then after the cover has some oil in it, shine it back up.

definitely stronger than anticipated. you can make it work by drilling it weak and polishing it on a regular basis.
