Im looking at putting a good reliable control drilling on a Pearl Ogre.

Ive looked for a ball for sport patterns with a med oil rating. The Pearl Ogre seemed to be the exact ball for that setup.

Now I want a control drilling on it. Something reliable but still able to handle some carrydown. I was torn between the RICO drill and the one that Visionary themselves put up as a control drill. Ive asked for a pin of 1 to 2 inches to try the drilling (4 5/16th span).

Anyone have an idea as to which or others that would be better?

Ive always used pin up balls as I bowl on wood lanes with light/med oil but theyve gone to an almost flat pattern now that has quite a bit of carry making it very jumpy with the balls I have. I also used to track high (clipping thumb) but Ive lowered my track to about 3/4 of an inch away from the thumb recently.

My other specs are in my profile as you will see.

Many thanks.

Thanks scotts33 I thought it may work with just a normal 4X4 or 5X5 layout and you seem to find thats true.

Dont really think I can go wrong whatever drill I put on it as Ive always had weaker balls but big backend for my centre and because I tracked so high I needed pin above. The lowering of my track just gives me the oppotunity to try a "control drill" if I can ever find out what a true one is.

Thanks again scotts

I've taken mine down to 4000 abralon.  Smoothes it out.  It handles a lil carry down but if there is a lot I tend to go around it if the lanes allow me to do that.

Used it last night on a THS that carries down 1st generation Bruns. Anvilane.  Most if they did not have large aouts of ball speed could not play the track ball were jumping high and thru the nose.  I could stay in the track with the Pearl Ogre and play 13 at the arrows to 6-7 at break point <around the carry down> that worked well.
