All the experts will be on here, soon to give you the best analysis.

For me, this drilling makes an ultimate control ball. It gives you a lot of smoothness up front, without relinquishing a big back end.

The backend arrives without a lot of fanfare....it just kinda sneaks up on you.
When the ball hits, you kinda go "Oh wow" didn't expect all that.

it is best used on tougher patterns when nothing else will work, its a control layout....on THS most anything will work, this is a specialty layout...

Mine was drilled on a Brunswick Chance Zone which is an aggressive solid reactive bowlingball.

It is smooth through the heads and starts to hook a little past mid lane and keeps hooking through the pocket. More of an arc then a snap. Very clean and very controllable. Great for THS and many tougher conditions. Seems to carry better then anything else I've thrown and is my go to ball.

I can't wait to drill more on this pattern very soon.

brunsnick.com has a lot of videos of different bowlingballs drilled on this pattern compared to ones on more normal patterns.
