If you need a ball for heavier and/or longer oil then this is not the ball to get. I have one and do not like using it on heavier conditions. My Rival is a few board stronger and carries better. Here are some other balls that I've bowled with and are stronger than the Gamebreaker: Resurgence, Rising, Supernova, Cobalt Solid, Attitude Shift, Black Widow Solid and T Road Solid. And they all hit better. Ofcourse you can still buy it and use it on heavier conditions but it won't react as well as the ones I listed. Good Luck

Drill it pin under and cg at 45 degrees. It reacts pretty well. I can tell you this because mine is drilled pin up 4.5 from pap & 60 degrees and my friend's pin under (not sure of his pin) and at 45 degrees and his ball reacts and carries alot better. But he still struggled on heavier conditions with it so recently drilled up a Resurgence for heavier conditions and he loves it. Good luck.

That type of drill should maximize the ammount of flare that you'll get out of the ball.  If your going to get the ball for heavier oil, I would suggest lowering the pin a bit, to like 2 1/2" or so.  

As far as micbowl saying that the ball doesn't hit, and doesn't hook that much, these are subjective impressions.  My gamebreaker, which I just drilled, is pretty strong and hits very well.  The core that's in the ball is quite rolly, and if you try to play in without a higher rev rate, the ball really won't change direction very rapidly, and you may leave a few flat tens.  I personally tend to stick with asyms when playing in, and I prefer symmetrical stuff in general when playing up the lane.

The Angular is a polished pearl, and without surface changes, it won't suffice for most on longer patterns.  For long patterns, this ball would be a great piece to start out with, but as carrydown sets in, a strong sanded pearl may be a better option.

The ball isn't for a flood and I'm not trying to say that it is.  In general, it has a fairly strong coverstock, paired with an early rolling, low rg core.  The ball is very continuous for me, and is one of the more agressive balls in my bag.

With a low pin, it should be excellent for the shark, in that it is agressive and more even rolling, which allows one to play straighter.
