I got my Emerald drilled today. It has a 2-3/4 pin from the CG to middle of the pin. I drilled it pin over bridge with the cg kicked out slightly. I used it in league tonight. The house i bowl at has older HPL synthetics. The lanes are oiled pretty decent i say at least 38 feet. Volume is medium with some carry down. The Emerald is very clean up front with a nice angular move on the backend. It definitely responds to different hand positions easily but hits like a mad truck. I had one great messenger which i thought on one shot i got the ball too far out but it came back slow and hit the head pin kind of light and then a messenger flew across the deck and killed the ten pin. That was awesome. The only thing with this ball that you need to be careful of is speed. You can easily throw it through the break point. I had one 2-8-10 because i threw it too far out and it got into the film. Anything outside 5 was no man's land.
