Just got one! Wondering how angular it is?
Compared to Ti Mess? Compared to Ti Mess Pearl?
Compared to the Reaction Rev?

BTM gave it the highest backend score ever. Take that for what it's worth. I say, drill it 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 and find out.

Lucky,
Is Angle what you want? I drilled mine up pin beside my ring and the MB in the first ring of my trac, and it gives me the most even arc that you could ever want. I have seen a guy throw it stacked though and it was pretty angular, but I doubt that it was as angular as my old B/G TI.

Actually the house I'm thinking of using it at has some big backends and verystrong midlanes.
I'm trying to decide how much I need to smooth it!

My Icon 2 was drilled with the mb on my track, and it was very angular, not even close to an arc.

PS looking at Razor Wire on bench right now! Hmmmmm. Blank, it's looking back at me, hmmmmmmmm! This is fun!

my buddy has a detour. he says that it goes really long and crushes if you get it in the popcket. its probably a good ball for short oil patterns. i wouldnt suggest it if you hit a long oil pattern.

those who use hammer equiptment , set themselves up for criticism.....G E E K S!!

the detour has a mass bias on it? what does columbia use to mark a mask bias?

I now have drilled it,
4 X 5 no weighthole.
This ball for me does work on medium longish patterns and even longer as the move is very strong the break.
Used it on hard synthetics with double oil and no strip and I was pointing a touch and surprisingly the strong little move allowed it to carry.
Once oil started to eat up a guy next to me with a Pulse killed it while I started to struggle.
A little polish may make it a more medium friendly ball. Coverstock/core IS strong once the ball starts to make it's move!

Great info LL....I am wondering how it would work on synthetics once thewy start to break down. Will polish make it jumpier on lanes that are breaking down? Or is it as long as all the reviews say? Or should I just look at a pearl alternative? Hmmmmm.....
