When I leave splits, it's usually because I get the ball way right of the breakpoint driving through the 3 pin. I dont leave many splits going through the nose for some reason. However...........since I've been using my Hybrid Dirty , drilled with pin below ring finger, I have never left so many splits going high. It's me throwing it I know, but most of my other equipment doesn't split that much when hitting the same area at the pindeck.

I was just bowling earlier today and I left about 4 4-9 splits. And uncountable number of just huge splits. I've never left so many splits with a ball in my life. I dont know quite what causes it. Is the ball driving that hard? My Backyard Bully, roughly covering the same amount of boards yet different motion, didn't leave one split when going high. I dont get it. Going light or flush the HDB just destroyed the rack but high, is disasterous. I dont need advice, I'm more than capable of adjusting, but whenever I do pull the ball or get it to the dry too fast, I can just about turn my back as I'm sure it will split. Does anyone else have similar experiences? I'm not knocking the ball, it's growing on me, but for me, it's like: FOR GOD'S SAKE, DONT GO HIGH

It must have been the condition cause today in league it didn't seem quite as disasterous. Felt really good throwing the HDB. I think I had my loudest strike in league. I mean I thought another ball hit at the same time but no one supported my theory. I mean that thing just the sharpest ---- (computer deleted the regular word as is so ignore the hyphens) I've ever heard. I think it's the loudest strike I've ever heard. Period. I could definately get used to this kind of power. Bowled out after league and pins were flying all over the place. Messengers taking out both 7 and 10's. 4 taking out 9's.

I mean pins were attacking each other especially when going light. Three or four pins just clobbered the 7. lol I've never seen this kind of pin action from any other ball save the Loudstriker's Intense Inferno on that same pair. Perhaps it was the pair, or the ball. I dont know.

So another question: My ball is scuffed right now with a lite grey scotchbrite and it reads the lane very well and did not lose an ounce of power at the pins. But for the majority of conditions, did you Lane#1 people like the HDB in OOB condition, polished, or scuffed?
