[The Cheese]

Drilled my Full Swing (dual-angle) 40/40/4 1/2 Pin-to-PAP which is nearly the same layout I have on one of my Power Swings.
As much as I loved the Power Swing as I ended up drilling 4 of them, I have replaced a few of them with the release of the Full Swing. The difference between the symetrical and mass bias asymetrical is stunning. The Full Swing goes longer than my Power Swing and is much more angular as a result, but still gets back to the same spot. My test results on house as well as Shark pattern were impressive, even when I altered the surface and took my Full Swing down to 1000 dull. This is a great ball to start an arsenal with as your go-to ball out of the bag with the hook you need on fresh and carry-down patterns. What I was most satisfied with was the ability of the Full Swing to maintain a consistent breakpoint once the patterns started to dry up. The Power Swing at times has the tendency to want to jump at the first signs of friction where the Full Swing maintains its length and continuation from all angles. Try it and you won't be disappointed

COMMENTS
Carry - Carry is incredible with this ball. Usually I find myself sending 10 back, but this ball carried light hits, high hits; I chopped out the 6 pin several times.
Likes - I like the controlled motion down lane and the explosion on the back end. I wanted a controlled drilling for the USBC Nationals and that's what I got.
Dislikes - Eh, it had to go in the bag after about 15 frames on a league pair, but that's ok, the Arch Rival compliments it quite well.
Other - Stay tuned; I'll let you know how it does in Reno on June 9th and 10th.
