Pin "left of ring" is how far from your PAP?

ah crap good catch, I meant right of ring lol.
First off, all of the following reviews were thrown on college sport shots. No such thing as a house shot anymore for me lol.

Bowled about 5 games on a tight shot, only line seemed to be standing on 2nd dot from the right and throwing out between 1 and 5 way downlane. If you stood anymore right it, ball would go brooklyn. Any farther left, and you would be in the channel. If you planned on playing this line, you had to have something that would turn the corner.
First few shot I threw went wide and barely stayed on for the 10 pin. after some adjustments, I found a nice breakpoint.

In my opinion, this ball is not as angular as buddies video shows. The ball is very strong, but VERY VERY VERY smooth. It has the really strong arc withoout being angular. Kinda hard to describe. Almost too smooth lol. The ball rolls amazing, hits great, and is very predictable. It recovered very well from shots that were 1-2 boards out, coming in light, but with enough power to get the whole rack.

Overall, I couldnt say it enough. VERY VERY Strong arc, BUT ITS SMOOTHER THAN BUTTER. I know that may not make sense to some people, but trust me, this ball will be great for shots were there is plenty of dry downlane, and most other equipment is overreacting. But, a fair WARNING: It cannot handle oil. I would say medium is as deep as it goes, unless there is dry downlane. medium/heavy and Heavy oil are easily out of the question unless there are some serious surface changes.
I would definitely say I wish I had this ball before now so i could have throw it on house shots, because I almost guarantee this ball will tear most house shots up.

Any questions, I would be happy to answer them.

Thanks,
Chrispy

ball goes very long, hard arc off the backend. Not as angular as the video on buddies showed, that one must have been drilled super aggressive. Very predictable ball, I love it on the tough shots that play really tight because it holds it line and has only reacted when I babied the it down the lane.

the reason the ball thrown on the buddies video is so angular is becasue it was drilled with only a 1" pin buffer. very quick reaction to the dry and very angular.

Not sure what you mean by a "one inch pin buffer." Can you help with that one?

In pics of that ball's layout, the pin looks to be at least 2 or more inches directly above the ring, the CG is about 1 inch below the middle finger, and the HART is ringht in line, about 1 inch left of thumb.

Pin Buffer is the distance the pin is from you Vertical Axis Line

Thanks.... not a measurement of which I know about. I'm more familiar with Mb placement, 75* and 90*, 3 3/8, and that stuff...

So, you are saying that if the pin is close to the VAL, the ball will be more angular?
