I drilled mine (true) label leverage, 3.5x5 and it acts very much like a control ball; the good part is that it does not overreact when it throw out into the dry early or on wet/dries. The bad part is that it does not act or carry or moves pins like you'd expect the premium Fuze line should. It also does not hook a lot. I expected more when I bought; thankfully I did not pay a premium price. But it is a very useful ball at times. Haven't used it a lot lately as it is a more medium-light to medium oil ball and other balls have been more appropriate to the lane conditions I am encountering.

My brother just drilled one of these a couple weeks ago.  His is also over the label, about 4 X 5.5 for him.  He is a medium speed, medium rev stroker with low axis rotation, and so far the ball looks pretty good on medium-light conditions.  It gets good length and has a pretty angular back end, but I wouldn't really call it skid-snap.  Carry has not really been impressive so far, but he's still experimenting as it only has 12 or 15 games on it.

From watching his and hearing what charlest has to say, I wouldn't drill this ball too weakly unless you have a lot of hand or are trying to kill it for dry conditions.
