Mine in OOB condition was actually kind of flippy once it got to the dry. it's drilled 5 x 3 1/2, pin up, and it was actually a little touchy. took the cover down to 4000 abralon, that helped a ton, made it more of what you're talking...good hard arc to the pocket, not so touchy off the dry. anyway, let us know what you think of it! It's an excellent ball, even if you do have to play with the cover a bit.
