Sorry can help you there.

But I'm looking for one if anyone's selling one.

well I'm not selling, sorry, taking one that was drilled pin axis and going to the 3 3/8 x 3 3/8.  Hope it fits between my super carbide bomb and cherry c2.  Might have to figure out where to put a tsumani at in the mix too

Slight assumption being made here, but assuming similar PAP to Pin distances on all 4 that you suggest I'd say -

SCB -  Heavy oil with an emphasis on HEAVY
Pink - Medium (more than medium with more surface)
Tsunami - could overlap with the Pink, depends on drill and surface
Cherry C2- Med. light

As far as the difference in reaction.  To put it plainly, stacked leverage will move out of it's skid state MUCH earlier than pin axis.  Pin axis will have more length and less backend movement than the earlier rolling and higher flaring stacked leverage layout.  

How much of a difference will depend on lane conditions and the bowler.

well my pink has less pin by an 1" than my Cherry C2.  About the same as my super carbide bomb.  I am thinking like you in that all 3 will be drilled very similar.  Hopefully, this will all work out.  Had a blueberry, did not like it, but the cherry, on synthetic lanes is all good.  I think the pink will work out just fine.  If not, I will retire it with my cherry and find another.

quick update,

drilled it 3 3/8 x 3 3/8.  Ball wound up with some static thumb weight, and it was cool because the hole was drilled right through the plugging material from the old thumb.  Don't hit any plugging material at all which is great.  Got the thumb fitted and tossed the first eight with it.  It is weaker than my super carbide bomb, and stronger than my cherry.  Cover right now is 800 sanded, hehe, I think I keep it like this.  Anyone have a new one they want to get rid of in 15.



I love pink bowling balls.  $ in the bank

PLEASE MR BUZZSAW, REMAKE THIS BALL ESPECIALLY IN PINK

Slumpp,
Just FYI, the Blueberry, Pink Raspberry and Black Raspberry were all the same ball--PK18 around the stacked mini-diamond core. The only differences were the colors and OOB surface prep.

Still bowling with a Blueberry myself--first out of the bag most nights.

Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

Kingpin,

Had a blueberry, it was ok, drilled it 1:30 label, didn't like it, plugged it, drilled it again, didn't do that well, friend of mine has it now and loves it.  This pink drilled this way I was so amazed at how easy it was to pick up where it flips over at, just toss it there, and boom, 10 in the pit.  Think maybe there is something to the pink mystic.  Besides, it is a beautiful thing to set someone up with the I'll just throw this pink ball line.

Ok, quick review of this ball drilled 3 3/8 by 3 3/8, all I can say is I am kicking myself for selling this ball a couple of years ago and not drilling it this way then.  I finally bowled with it in league, 2nd night all year, house is wood, oil pattern, well I think they do it with a towel or rag on a mop.  Both lanes were about 5 - 8 boards different at my feet, left lane was straight, very little break, right lane broke down quickly, and snapped.  game 1 was 193, missed a 10 pin, nothing serious, then boom 279, 219, to finish the night, 691.  Missed 700 due to operator error.  Ball is very very easy, and adjust to.  Man I wish he would remake this ball.  It is truly amazing.  Especially comparing it to all of the new Columbia, Ebonite and Storm balls.  Worth every penny I have in it and then some.
