I wanted to use it as both strike ball on very dry and spare ball....  I threw for the first time today.  It worked great as a spareball.  Throwing it a ten pin with some revs and it definately hung on at the edge and even came back a little at the end.  Could also roll it more end over end straight at the ten too.  Could get it to hook a few boards as a strike ball.  I started out throwing it straight up the first arrow.  Got it to hook into the 3-6 pocket.  Then tried up the second arrow and easy on the speed and was able to get close to the pocket pretty consistenly.  Carry was very good when I got it near the pocket.  No abnormal leaves.  I dont have the most consistent release so I cant get much further into detail than that for now.  I started out using my temper but had trouble keeping it on the right side after the first game.  Used the starburst the whole third game and bowled my highest game of the night.  Nothing special, 167-138-177.  Definately looking forward to trying it out again.  I really thought I was going to be disappointed with the drilling but I really liked it as my spareball.  And I got it to hook a little as a strike ball as long as I kept the speed down.  Very speed sensitive.  Thought I'd be at the pro shop for a redrill Monday morning but now I'm going to give it a chance as is for a little while.
