I just punched up my new Bank Roll and gave it some shots on a light to medium THS (I know… wrong condition 
), and I wanted to share my first impressions. A full review will follow as soon as I found enough oil to keep this beast on the lanes.
My Bank Roll arrived with a 4-4.5” Pin with 3 1/8 oz. top weight. I drilled it 55 X 5” X 30. This placed the Pin about an inch above my ring finger and he MB right next to the thumb hole on the right. A weight hole wasn’t necessary. I also added a nice coat of Black Magic to the surface right out of the box.
What I was looking for in this ball, was more skid than my original Bank with a sharper breakpoint but just as strong overall.
All I can say for now is “Mission Accomplished!”
On the light to medium THS I just bowled on, the ball got clean through the heads, had a impressive midlane read, but had more than enough energy to unleash in the back end with a strong arc to flip reaction. Needles to say, that on this condition the ball hooked 5 to 7 feet too soon and even the deepest lines and weakest hand positions were not enough to create enough length on this pattern.
Next week I am going to bowl on some sport patterns and on a medium to heavy THS, to see what this ball does on the conditions it was meant for.
