Well...these babies were so unpopular for unknown reasons that I was able to pick up 4 of em....over a few months incredibly cheap!

My real goal was to get a real understanding of various drillings for assymetricals.  

I had a couple of Morich's and I found them flaky in the pin over bridge drilling area!  But I like the core motion when I used pins near ring  So I stuck with that strategy with the drives.

Two significant drillings I tried...1. standard assymetrical pin at upper corner of outside corner of ring and mass bias about an inch off thumb...positive.
2. Supersymmetric with pin down (only 1 1/2 inch above mid grip line) and mass bias straight below the thumb.

Drilling 1:
This would be a 4 1/2 X 5 MB or almost strong MB position. (we avoid strong mb out drillings at our home house as there is virtually NO midlane oil!...the lane supplies the midlane to a large extent!)  And yet there is carrydown!

This baby has a ton of rev up and continuation at the back!!!!!  Rev REv Rev...or vroom vroom!  The equation with this ball and drilling is can you get it to the break point!  If you can it is all carry baby!  If you can't it is a quick crossover!

Threw with 1 1/2 side at first and it was very dramatic off the dry and thus took it down with a smallish pap hole 57/64 to 1 1/2 inches deep.

The coverstock on this ball would not be called shy!  At a sense of friction with slowdown this ball recognizes it and GRABS revs and turns rounded but hard on a dime!

Couldn't really do much with this ball and then the other day I discovered the long lost art of holding the ball higher in my stance(lost to this idiot!).  Now with an extra 1 1/2 miles an hour this thing could be projected to the friction point and I threw 10 out of 12 in my next scored practice game!  Holy rev up and corner batman!!!  With a free and projecting motion flailed long and low to the breakpoint...it didn't seem I would ever stop from striking!(this with my daughter shouting "Dad...."Dad"  ......"Dad" every backswing!)

Drilling #2  Pin 4 1/4 X MB 6 1/2
2. Super Symmetric.  This drilling also revs up hard!!!  A move left from the above drilling by about 3 to 4 boards....rev rev rev(redundant heh) and then starts to make it's move before the end of the oil pattern and then unless really dry makes a very rounded but very big carry smooth move to the pocket!

OVERALL impression.  This core is one of the awesome assymetric cores out there.  Very underused!  The accelerator coverstock may be too much as it reads very hard at any reduction of speed or increase of friction at the sides or back.  I will be doing more testing and surface tweaks to see how forgiving it is!
Just compared to an X factor today(X factor as a stronger flare ball) was drilled ever so slightly weaker.  Coverstock seemed to be a little more forgiving off the dramatic wet dry our center puts out...first impression!

I will do some more surface prep moves and get back.

Initial conclusion.  If you are a strong speed bowler this ball will give you a tremendous assymetrical look! hit and carry.  Any back off to the break point will spell disaster!(due to very strong coverstock)  Petal to the metal every shot and you are looking at some big sheet numbers(almost reminds me of Vapor Zone on TV).  Another ball that resembles it in visual move on the alley is the Triple X pearl I will compare one I have laying around soon.

REgards,

PS also have a Morich Sahara I am anxious to try with the above assymetrical drilling as I understand that this is the beautiful clean Punisher coverstock combined with a core that if the pin is used near ring fingeer moves a lot like this drive!

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..
