This is an entire game I took with my IPhone.  I just drilled the Tornado Red/Purple/Gold and it is my first time using it.  The shots from the 7:00 mark (my tenth frame) are from lane level.  Was hoping to give an idea as to my rev rate and ball roll but it is a tad on the blurry side.  This ball is at box finish, pin around 5 inches from my axis and the cg kicked out at 55 degrees.  Ball had a 3 inch pin and 2.5 oz of top weight, so small weight hole drilled at P4 since this is obviously a weak core to help the ball rev on the backend a tad.  The lane condition was light volume as they had not oiled the lanes yet from what was leftover from the previous night.

Steve,
 
Weight holes are not going to affect this core,near as I can tell, because there is nothing in the middle. It has a pancake at the top and a "lump" at the bottom.
See this picture:

I don't think they've changed it since it has come out.
No, they haven't:

The good news is that it does have a lot of Diff, .040" for 15 lbs.

Thanks, Charlest!  I obviously knew it was extremely weak.  I put it there simply because with what the static weights were before I put it there, which I believe were 1.385 oz side and .25 oz thumb, I put the hole there and now the statics are 1/2 side with 1/8 finger.
