When I talked to Billy about the Crisis Solid he said not to put the pin more than 5" from my PAP...even with being a power player.  I've got one drilled 5" (above fingers) and the cg/mb @ 45 degrees...it's a good ball when standing on the wet dry line.  I found the ball to pick-up a bit sooner / react hard than I wanted.  So I drilled a second one pin about 4.5 (placed in my ring finger) and the cg/mb @ 135 degrees.  This drilling really smoothed out the reaction and would be good for shorter oil patterns provided you could get enough push down the lane.  

I still haven't messed with the surface of each...but I think adding a polish with a slip agent would help my ball reaction some.

On your other ball selections...I would definately get the 44 Magnum, the ball is such a great benchmark ball for me.

Goof,

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that this coverstock is Super-Flex. Sand it 2000 grit first; then use a polish with abrasive in it, like Storm's Diamond Polish. With your high revs you need to make it less grabby and SF is still a strong coverstock, no matter how mild the core is.

If that isn't mild enough, take it to 4000 grit (abralon pad); then add polish.

Still there's only so much dry a Super-Flex cover can be used upon ... Then you'll need a pearl urethane or plastic.
