Drilled my Anomaly few days ago adn got a chance to throw it.  Pipn over my ring finger wit the CG in the center of my grip.  Plenty of polish to make the ball prettier.  I have a 5.5" - 5.75" axis.

I start with my Vendetta Particle with a 3X4 layout, medium surface.  On a fresh house shot, crown to 32 feet... I'm throwing the Vendetta about 18 to 8 or so to the pocket.  No biggie.  Pull out my Vendetta Black with a very similar layout as the VP (the cg is lower though) and I move like two boards right.  My Vendetta Black goes longer than the particle, but has a more angular backend so they cover almost the same amount of boards.

I throw a couple shots with the Anomaly without moving my feet.  First two bang the pocket.  Then I get confident with the ball and it starts to go high... then brooklyn.  Ok, I move 5 left.  Still goes high, leave the 3-6-10 a couple times.  I move a couple more boards, I'm around 23 at the arrows now with the break point around 7 or 8.  I'm getting the ball to pocket now and it hits reeealy nice.  Reminds me of the Element the way it rolls... very heavy.  If it were to have tires on, it would have big ol' mud tires and not z-rated racing tires.  

Pins stay low on the deck, which is a good thing.  Left a couple 8 pins, not surprised.  For grins I moved left again, about 27 at the arrows to 10 for those deep sport shots (B Pattern) and the Anomaly seemed to like that shot... it definitely likes to play in oil.

Granted this is just one day of using it and only on one pattern, but so far it is true to the hype.  I won't be able to use it on anything other than medium-heavy to heavy oil.  The problem is, I never really see that.  On that house shot, I'd rather be using my Vendettas.  Most of the PBA conditions I see, even the long oil isn't heavy enough to really use this ball for more than a couple games.  

The Anomaly moved about 4-5 boards more than I remember my Element hooking.  The Element is more ball than I need, which is why I don't use it.  So while I will keep this ball in my bag, I just don't think I can use it often.  Maybe I should drill a hole on the PAP?  Dunno.  I think this ball is "the most" Dyno-thane I can get, but for me it's simply too much.
