Breakpoint Shape:  Aggressive overall hook

Personal Ball Reaction:  Quick moving on the back end.  This ball responds quickly to friction but sensitive to hand position and speed.  Cohesion additive makes ball skate if missed inside.   Ball continues strong when using a short hook window off the end of the pattern.  Better for fresher oil, as pattern breaks down ball becomes more susceptible to loosing entry angle.

Personal Ball Reaction:  Out of the box the ball is a Cheat Code for the lanes.  Hits hard opening angles or playing straighter.  Heavy continuation out of the box but mellows out with games on it.  More susceptible to carry down needing a move right to straighten up angles.

Breakpoint Shape:  Clean/Angular

Personal Ball Reaction:  Not Angular!  but smooth and rolley. Not quite the slow pearl we were hoping for.  Still Needs Surface!  Very sensitive to hand position very over-under until you change surface. Better for dryer back ends playing straight or opening up angles.  Will miss the breakpoint if pulled inside.  Similar in motion as the Ivory Rhino Pro but starts later and does not flip as violently.
