Not yet.... It only had 2.25 oz. TW, so as it sits now, it only has 5/8oz. PW.

That ball seems to not be legal with too much thumb weight. I would think that this ball would pick up early and roll out with little hook potential. Maybe one of the drill gurus will comment on this....It's defintitely not a length drill. It's drilled to hook earlier but seems to have too much thumb weight.
--------------------
Shane Soule
Shane, it might appear to have a lot of thumb weight, but unless the driller is a total tool, I'm sure it's still legal. All he'd have to do is drill the thumb a little deeper.

A maximum lengthg and back end drilling would have IMHO have the pin above the fingers, the CG stacked below it and also much higher, on grip center height, and the pin closer to your PAP, maybe above thering finger hole or left of of it (again, given you do not have a off-standard PAP). The ball itself with its long pin distance should be a great basis for a flip layout. But with what you got, I think it is no wonder that you do not get much back end out of it!

I was initially concerned because the toxic was only covering a few more boards than my blue vibe. Not what I expected.

There are a few guys who work in my pro shop. Now that you guys are confirming my suspicions I'll make sure to have the expert driller take a look at the ball.
Next question. In your opinions can this be fixed?

I have a Doom drilled similarly to this drill. I'm a righty. Your driller drilled it for max backend, but, because he has the pin down, it's going to really smooth out the snappiness of your reaction. If you really wanted to see snap and backend....have him raise the pin an inch to an 1.5" over the fingers in this same layout, and you'll have a completely different animal!
My Doom was drilled with the pin high, and the first couple of spins I took with the ball were darn near uncontrollable. After about 10 games or so, the ball tracked up a little and calmed down. That was when the fun, and high scores started!!

Yeah, with my experience with Pin-Below bridge, you get more of a control type of ball.
I believe this is what you are seeing slap. I'd say go with a conventional lefty drill with pin over middle finger and cg kicked out. It would be alot more of what you are looking for.
