A pin-axis drill will allow the ball to roll more & skid less; because of this does the coverstock prep become more important?

I find that you need a little oil to get it down the lane. The ball does not flare much and as it is, is almost stabilized core-wise. The ball reads very early and does not overreact to any dry whatsoever. Because it reads so early, it has no energy for the backend. On dry lanes, the ball will read even faster and therefore, I wouldn't use one on dry lanes. But if you need to control the backend, a pinaxis or semi-pin axis drilling is great.
