I have used it about 5 times, and for me it's a very good layout.

I really like it on something that is skid flip to get it to read the mids a little better......not so much on earlier rolling balls.

I'm thinking of using it on a Radical Cash. Looking for maximum hook.

For a THS or sport shots?  As someone once told me, it's not about total hook but where that hook happens on the lane....

For THS. Wont be the first ball out of the bag but for use on those nights when other stuff isn't doing the job. Medium speed medium rev player.

If you're committed to going this route for max hook, my suggestion is to lay it out for a double thumb without the balance hole first.  Take it out to the lanes a couple times to practice to figure out if the double thumb balance hole makes sense or if a weaker placed balance hole makes more sense.  That way you give yourself an out if the ball is too strong for your intentions.

Not committed to anything yet just wondering about it. Saw it on Radical's FaceBook page. Want this to be my strongest ball. Most of my stuff is pin out with a balance hole.
