Make sure if you buy one to have it checked for correct cg placement.
Big B (nice people that they are..........) seems to have "mismarked a bunch of these to make them look like firsts, when in fact they were 2nds.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ agreed!!!! But once you've done that, you will have a benchmark ball that can handle oil, consistent read, and tremendous carry! Great ball, if the CG placement is correct. I had 3 of these. the 1st had a mismarked cg and rolled over the fingers. Gave another to first time league bowler and he shot his highest game ever 244 and threw many hambones, lol. Great Ball!

I have both. It's difficult to compare because I have a high-RG drill in the Carbide, and a low-RG drill on the Solid U. NIB, the Carbide is polished where the Solid U is sanded. Regardless, the Solid U has a significantly lower RG core, so it's earlier rolling with less backend than the Carbide.

I like them both. They're just meant for different types of reaction.

Steven, can you explain to me how you can put a high rg or low on a ball by simply changing the drilling? I'm just learning to drill my own bowling balls and can use any help I can get.

Jim: Some people refer to a pin above the fingers drill as a 'high-RG' drilling. The drill promotes more length before hitting the breakpoint. Conversely, a pin below the fingers drill (low-RG drilling) tends to promote an earlier reaction.

Other people just use 'high pin' and 'low pin' drills to describe the same thing. Go with what you're more comfortable with.
