Just got mine punched up tonight.  Pin 2.5" from PAP.  Naturally it is very rolly and steady.  Clears the fronts pretty nicely and is definitely stronger than the solid avalanche.

I have a 5.5 inch pin to pap with a 30 degree val angle.  Cg towards grip center.  It is much stronger than I thought it was going to be in terms of downlane reaction.  Clears the front easily and a very strong move at the breakpoint.  The cover being powerkoil 18 is very quick responding to friction.

mine is drilled 4 1/2" pin to pap above fingers, no weight hole.

so far on the patterns i've bowled on, it has been easier length thru the fronts, not a heavy midlane but a solid midlane read with a continuous, non-violent move off the breakpoint. great medium ball that is very tweakable.

so far i've only been making cover adjustments to tweak reaction. i may eventually have a weight put in to increase more midlane reaction.

the pearl is similar, just longer & stronger when volume decreases.

great pieces!

Mine is drilled RICO. This ball gets through the fronts with ease. mine doesn't flip but rolls very hard through the pins. This is alot of ball for the money.

I absolutely love this ball! It has an easy roll through the heads, and does not over react to friction. Mine is drilled pin in the ring finger, with the CG slightly kicked out; this ball is very versatile.
 
On drier, or burned lanes, I can move right, and point it toward the 3-board and watch it crush the pocket. On a 44-foot, tapered house shot it follows the oil with continuous motion through the pins.
 
Brunswick did a great job reprising the Danger Zone, at a reasonable price point.
