grizfan, I have both of the balls you mentioned, with similar drillings. Pin over the fingers on the center line, and the cg in the palm for the Playmaker, and pin over the fingers on the center line and cg about 1" to the right of grip center for the Psycho. The Playmaker, even though it is a pearl, reacts more like a polished solid for me. As kidjete said, it is very responsive to friction, so once the heads begin to dry out, the Playmaker is going to take off. I put some polish on top of the OOB finish for my Psycho. With this surface, the ball revs up, but still gets down the lane and gives me a very strong arc. My two favorite occasions to use the Psycho is when there is fresh oil and strong backends, as the earlier roll helps smooth out the transition from wet to dry for me. I also use it when the lanes are a little tight, the earlier roll helps me to not blow past my break point, and it has enough energy to still turn the corner for me. As for using the ball when they dry out, I'm not sure that is the ball you should go with. Unless you have a ton of ball speed, that ball will be a monster on dry.
