Mine is drilled similar to your description. I threw it in practice for the first time on a fresh THS today. If I didn't stay deep in the oil (between 4th and 5th arrows), I couldn't hold the pocket. There are few balls that I've ever thrown on a THS I can say this about. I was playing much deeper than I prefer, so I won't be using it in any of my house shot leagues.
I can't wait to try it out on a heavier/longer sport shot. I only threw the Pitbull one game, but my first impression is that it's the real deal.
