it looks like he is playing the same part of the lane as i do with my arch rival on the house shot. is it right that its about the same strength as the previous benchmark type balls (rivals) but obviously more length.

That reaction looks pretty unique to me.  Pretty rounded off the midlane and enough angle to hit/carry well.

Wow... another pointless video of a new release.  Why, you ask?

Because there are no other balls being used to draw a comparison with.

Nice video guys. I, however am not impresed.

Show me a ball being thrown, pin under the fingers,.... without a double-thumb axis hole!

I know from experience, that big-azz wgt hole will cause even the most mundane pill, to rev up, and become a monster on the backend!

Show me a pill being thrown with a conservative X-hole, up, and no more than .75" to 1" wide, and then let me see the reaction!

Since when does a weight hole dictate exactly how, where and how much a ball will hook?

The weight hole is a compliment to the drilling, which is a compliment to the core, which is a compliment to the cover.

This ball without any drilling is going to do something like the video.  A "double thumb" is not the end all for strong reaction.  If anything, the drilling you suggest will make it stronger on the back as it will store that much more energy through the midlane and unload it on the backend.

I am retty sure if he wanted to drill it more snappy he could have done what you said to tame it down, i think you might be a little mixed up with your drillings, with his hand and speed i think he was trying to get the ball to slow down and have some control.

That shot must have been a wall!! There is no way a columbia ball would come back from out there.
