Anybody have any suggestions on laying this beauty out?
I havent thrown Columbia since my blue/gold scout reative, about 4 or 5 years ago. Most houses around here are pretty walled up, except a few with longer shots.
Its 15lbs, 2.75oz top, and a 2-3 pin I believe. Im a cranker, and throw about 14-15mph.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Also, what can I expect out of this ball? I havent seen around here throw it, much less buy one, so Im kinda clueless as to what to expect.
Thanks,
Chrispy

I have one drilled 5" pin to PAP with the CG kicked out a little and it's a "long and strong" ball that needs some friction to get going, especially out of box. It was a little too long for me OOB, but there was actually a little oil on the lanes that day
. Once it dried up a little and I got a track on it, the reaction got better. This ball has a little harder shell to help get through the front part of the lane and it's a beast on the back. I can use it and play firm and straight (flat wrist, little tilt) and let the dynamics of the ball do the damage or I can slow it down, move in and bounce it of the dry to the right. A very good ball for when there's alot of friction in the front part of the lane.
