I now have 2 of these balls, and they are drilled quite different.
I drilled them both with the pin under the bridge because I didn't want them to skate down the lane forever.
On one the mb is 2-2.5 inches right of the thumb, this ball commits to its roll early and creates a break points about 3 feet sooner than my other one with the mb under the thumb.
The one under the thumb goes longer and is crisp off the break, where as the one with the mb at the 45 degree angle is skid midlane read then hook style roll.
The One with the mb out did not need a weight hole, the one with the mb under did need one.. We popped a med size hole but only an inch deep 4.5 over and .5 up like the drilling suggested.
Although the 2 balls react slightly different, they both have more back end than most rap videos I've seen.
