I use mine as a down and in. It is label drilled nothing fancy. I pretty much use it on light to med light shots. Straight down 7 at around 16-17 mph or if the pattern is really short maybe 12 out to 7 area.

Pretty much agree with kens101. I also have a 1:30 label drill on this ball. I love to swing to the gutter with it. As the mids breakdown I can just keep moving feet left and hit same target. Keep an eye on it though, there comes a point where it will actually start to burn up. It is hard to see, but you will see a carry difference. Keep it polished. The sound of this ball hitting (not that it matters)is unbelievable.

Triggerman-
 
I no longer own mine, but as far as pearl reactives go, it was one of my all time favorites.  I liked it a great deal more than my original Inferno.  Mine was also drilled label with pin above the ring finger.  I found it to be too much ball for a down and in shot, even on fresh "medium" oil.  It was very clean up front, had a decent midlane read, and was quite strong on the back, but not really angular...just very continuous.  The hit was tremendous.  I shot 300 in 2 consecutive weeks with it.  I miss that ball.

I agree with raven...too much ball to play down and in on what I would call a "medium" THS. Mine is also a 1:30 drill. Mine is a 4" pin, so I put the pin up pretty high...it ended up 3" from my PAP.

The ball is very clean though the heads, and gets a nice read as it begins to hook, the makes a hard continous arc on the backend. Mine does not snap. It covers plenty of boards, but does so in a controlled and predictable manner. Hit and carry is very good.

One of my home houses uses a what I would call a "medium" THS. I usually play this ball around 13-15 at the arrows to a break point of 7-8. If I get in much deeper than 15, I do not have enough hand to get the ten pin out.

The other house I bowl at uses what I would call a "heavy" THS. I can play the Pearl Uranium there also, but I am forced farther outside. I would play across 10-12 at the arrows to a break point of 7-8.

I have also had some success with this ball on the Chameleon, Scorpion and Viper PBA patterns. The ball is just not set up for Cheetah or Shark. I could force it to work, but I have other equipment I prefer to use on the shortest and longest patterns.

mine drilled pin 4" from PAP (pin above finger line) with CG stacked.

it is the ball I shot 800 with.  For me, it is a true skid-snap.  
this ball is for meduim heavy to meduim condition

the favorite line is down and in when there is enough oil.  Line changes to small swing shot as the lane is drying.  I never liked to play a big swing with it as it burns out very quick.

i used mine for a couple of games and loved the backend. it was a 15 lber and it crushed the pocket,used on synthetics, normal house shot. unfortunatley it is 15 and i had 4 rotator cuff surgeries and am using 14 lb. stuff now. it only has about 5-6 games on it. i might try and find a 14 lb. after i get a little healthier. i would definately recomend it.
