Personal Ball Reaction:  Strong Backend ball good for playing straight or opening up angles.  Responds to friction well making it slightly more forgiving to speed and hand position. Prefers oil at least in the heads.   Continues strong through the pins.  More of a strong arc than a skid flip reaction but this could be a result of games on ball.
