Has anyone tried lowering the grit on the Pain? Im doing away with my Action Max coz it cant take out a 7 pin (lefty) to save my life, it just hits TOO hard. Im getting the Widow today so I thought maybe I could use my Pain as a heavy oil replacement. When I used it at my house that puts down a heavy and long shot, it covered more boards than my Max, though still not as much as I had wanted it to.

Its drilled with pin under ring and CG kicked out to about 45-60 degrees. The OOB grit is 1000 abralon right? Maybe I could take it down to about 600 grit? What do you guys think?

I also have a pain and i think the OOB is 4000 abralon... getting it to 500 abralon would give you an Infinite-one-like reaction, though the infinite would be a bit more agressive...

Is the cover on the Pain really 4000 abralon? Could someone verify the OOB grit so I could have a better judgement of how low of a grit I need to go to make it suitible for Heavier conditions?

I triedmy PAIN with 500 grit and it works good on long oil patterns.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Pain is 2000 grit OOB.

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Selliger of the Southern Cal bowling league. I just got a report that a member of your team, Walter Solcheck, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true, it controveens a number of league bylaws.

Okay, once I get my Widow today, Im bringin the Pain down to 1000 abralon and see how that works. Away Action Max, AWAY!

The Pain can handle heavy with ease. If you bring the cover down to 600 grit it would be a beast!

I have 2 Raw Hammer Pain's. One is drilled pin above the bridge 5.5" from pap, cg kicked right to 1oz and no balance hole. This is a 5.5 by 4 layout. I have this ball in box condition. It rolls awesome and hits great. I love this ball. I also have a Doom with the exact layout and these two balls are a killer 2 ball combo.

My second Pain is drilled stacked leverage with the balance hole on my mid line about 6" from grip center. I flare over the balance hole. I should have placed the balance hole at 5" from grip center. Well this ball in it's box cover is an absolute beast!

I was bowling on a long oiled tough pattern during league on Sunday. The OOB was from about 7 board to the gutter. It was heavy oil in the OOB. Well during practice I thought I would throw the ball straight down the 3 board just to see what it did in the heavy oil. Well it cut right thru the heavy oil with ease.

I also tried my pin above the bridge layout Pain in the OOB. It hooked a little bit in the oob but didn't make it to the pocket like my stacked leverage one did. So the different layout made all the difference.

If drilled for length this ball is usable on a lot of conditions. When it starts to hook too much then drop down to the Doom and be good to go.

The Doom and Pain are the best two ball combo I have ever had. Both of these balls work great on tough patterns.

I almost had to pains. My ball driller talked me into buying a black widow. It now serves the need I had for a strong medium/heavy oil ball. My question is, what drill do I put on my pain to make it stronger than the Black widow. I'm a high tracker with decent revs. My pain at present has the pin next to my ring finger and below. With the cg in the plam. The surface is out of box. I would like some hold when I tug it, with a nice strong arc on the backend. I know the shapes (how they roll) are different. I would like it to complement the Black widow when its going a little to long. Thanks

big horn...is this for Heavy Oil? If so, I'd go with a stacked drill (pin next to ring and CG directly below or maybe kicked out a little). Then take the grit down to 1000 abralon. That should make it strong enough for the heavy situations.
