I am a converted right hander with above avg revolutions and slow ball speed.My avg is 176 on this league.  So I need something that pushes down lane.  I drilled this ball with pin above and a little right of ring finger with cg in center of palm and mass bias inch left of thumb.  I used this drilling for a purpose I had a giant gap between my epicenter and link.  Even with putting this tame drilling on this ball it is still strong.  It does fit where I wanted it to. I drilled it and didnt throw it till practice before league. Med ths on old wood lanes. Breaks down quite fast. Started of playing 14 to 5 at arrows with feet at 25.


First game started off strike, stone eight spare, next 4, open,open,off sheet for 212. Game two open(had to move two and two left)next 6, open,open, struck out in tenth for 223.  Last game didn't keep up with transition head were breaking down faster than i was moving should have switched to link in hind sight but had new ball syndrom.had 177 last game for 612 my third 600 this season and 2nd one this week. All and all this ball is strong it moves earlier than the epicenter with smoother backend reaction due to drilling.  My epicenter has much more recovery if i miss wide but again due to way i drilled it.  I left 4 stone 8s and 9s in practice and one in league this ball makes very srong smooth move.  Will update when get to throw more.

Due to a back injury I finally made the decision to try 15 lb. equipment. First new ball I purchased was the Bounty Hunter Pearl. Crazy as it seemed the first game I use the ball was at the Oil Capital Open in Tulsa. I drilled this one with the pin under the bridge and CG kicked out towards my PAP with MB on my VAL, had to have a hole on the PAP to get back to 1/4 side. Anyway, first game out of the box go front 6, solid 10, string to the 12 ball and another 10 for a 278. Not bad start for changing ball weights and never throwing the ball before. Lanes transitioned early the second game and stayed with the ball too long for a bad game, but my fault. In singles the next day roll 256, 255 before transition hits again. The ball is so strong I can''t use it on our house conditions. I love the way the ball rolls and hit is fantastic. It really seems to allow me to make hand adjustments and control the break point well, just need oil to take advantage of the power. Nothing I have used it on is flooded by any means, just good tournament conditions. I will add the solid to my arsenal once I recover from back surgery, for nationals not league for sure. I think anyone picking this one up will be very pleased.
