Just picked up a very good shape Action Packed with pin in palm, 1/4 " above center, and cg kicked right 2" @4 oclock and just below center of palm...2" pin and weight hole inside VAL directly right of center of palm 3".  Appears to be oob finish 1/2 oz pos and 1/8 thumb. My PAP is 4 7/8 over 5/8 up.   I have plug setting in thumb to shorten span slightly and need to know if anyone has a set up on theirs like this and what this ball will do. Been away from Columbia now for a while and haven't seen this one in action yet. This is not one of the suggested drills with pin this low in the grip. I guess I haven't ever thrown one with this set up either........thanks, Al

Yeah that should be close to the Rico1 drill that they do on Brunswick balls. Go on over to Brunswick part of the forum and hit the search button and type Rico1 and it will tell you everything that you will need to know.

Thanks, tried the search with no luck........any Rico throwers that can give me a hint on type of reaction this gives? Probably will try as is anyway, but could also now plug fingers and move entire layout. Thanks, Al

This drilling will provide for a very smooth, even break down the lane.  It's almost like a urethane reaction from a reactive coverstock.  I had an Intense Inferno like this and it was great playing up the boards on a lightly oiled pattern.

House Hack.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.  And, according to my therapist, that's not so bad.

Thanks everyone....went ahead and put my thumb hole in the ball and bowled Champ of champs yesterday........went 205, 237, 245....threw this ball all 3 games. Synthetic house with a bit more oil in the center than most houses and a bit longer, but good backends. I feel it was more of a christmas tree than a standard pattern wall type. Rest of the local guys struggled with over and under and I just cruised along with a mild swing and never moved my feet....great look and roll from this Action packed and this drill.   Definitely very smooth and arc type path. Ball read mids very well (low rg and my faster ball speed) and did not finish too hard but good enough to carry very nicely.   Not the big impressive "voodoo" move and messengers every where but very effective when others were struggling. Great ball and great drill even for a guy without a ton of revs.........thanks again, this won't be the last drill like this I try,   Al
