I have the Cobalt drilled 4.5 pin down and the Nail 4.75 pin up, the difference with these two is the Cobalt with the pin down is smooth, the Nail drilled this way way is amazingly strong thru the WHOLE lane, the ball is constantly working. The Nail is stronger by about 6 boards total and the Cobalt is a benchmark type reaction drilled like this. I am really liking both balls I might drill a couple more Vibes as well as Nails.
