Mine is drilled 5x5, pin under center of bridge.
It fits between my Barrage and my Ignitor (drilled 5x5, but pin over the bridge.); it is also below my Crunchtime, drilled 4.25"x 4.5", pin next to ring finger. It fits below and between these balls in BOTH overall hook and oil handling capacity.

The Slay/R has a "normal" strength core (read medium RG, medium RG differential) but a nicely, very weak coverstock. It is not a dry lanes ball AT ALL, but more of a light to medium-light oil ball. Mine with 5x5 drilling covers more light, barely nudging into Medium-light, if necessary.

My Barrage covers dry-ish to light.
Ignitor and CT cover medium-light to medium, the CrunchTime when the lanes are problematic, the Ignitor when they are wide open.

My Barrage, Slay/R, and CT are all polished slightly more than out-of-the-box. The Ignitor is polished a lot more than OOB.

I took this from another post I made about the Slay R.  Hopefully this will help as well

With my old style, I had it drilled 1 1/2 x 1 1/2. Very early arc and steady roll. Probaly the earliest rolling ball in my bag next to Goliath.

I have converted to a two handed delivery and the ball is now along the lines of a 2 3/4 x 3 drilling. It gets a little more length but a stronger reaction in the midlane and a continuous drive on the backend. Since I have gone to the two handed delievery(18.5 mph, about 500rpms), this has become the benchmark ball in my bag, along with my Time Zone.

I have yet to try one drilled for length and for the drier condition that it was designed for, but this makes a great first ball out of the bag on medium conditions when I need to square up and I need more control than the Time Zone.

So I say, srill it aggressive, great medium condition ball. Drill it weak, great for shorter patterns and lighter oil. This has a great cover/core combo so you can do alot of different things with this ball(and the Bruiser).
