Many thanks to Max for sending me one of these babies so soon.
This is the scariest, biggest flaring ball I have ever thrown. But... with some added extras.
Ball started with a 3.5" pin and 2.77oz top weight. Drilled it up without a balance hole, due to the flare potential, with the pin about 1" above the ring finger.
Beleive me, if you have a hand, don't use a weight hole, or drill one very carefully to reduce flare.
Compared to my AMB Bronze, the Immortal is about 4 feet longer, but covering about the same total boards... Not really a hard jerky flip, just a real hard arc. I tried the Bronze on the lanes at the same time, and had trouble controlling it, as it jumped left when it got through the oil... the Immortal just sailed through the oil line and blew the rack away. Used it the whole night, just moved left a bit finding more head oil, but the ball got better and better as the mid lanes burnt up... it just wouldn't quit.
Wanna know how much this mutha can flare??? Try 10 INCHES!! No joke! The last shot of the night, I really ripped on it.... was looking good till it went thump thump on the backend. Yes, it flared the whole ball and hit the fingers. Now most people will not have that trouble, as my rev rate would probably be higher than others, but, it gives you an idea of just how strong this weightblock is.
After throwing this thing, I can't wait for the Immortal Solid to come out... that will be something.
