You are so right on about the Diesel Particle. I just found an old discarded one on the racks (with a badly cracked bridge) and the span was pretty close to mine. I thought what the heck, and took it home and gave it a hot water soak, then took the shine off with a used green scotchbrite with Clean n Dull. Tried it our yesterday along with my new Mean Machine, and man, does this thing flare or what. Flares more than anything I've ever had. Starts revving hard in the mid-lane and then just comes flying back to pound the pocket. Shot 215 with a greek church to open in the 10th. Had the guys in the lanes near us looking over to watch this ball work. The pin is under and touching the ring finger hole, CG is kicked out about 2 7/8" on the mid-line, and there is a small weight hole 1 3/4" past the VAL and about 1/2" below the mid-line. I liked this one sooo much, that I'm seriously thinking of picking up another one and putting the same drill on it. First Hammer I've ever thrown, but after this, probably not my last.
