Thanks Doug, I am unsure of how to drill mine yet as Chuck told me to put my favorite drill on it and see what happends.  Cannot wait to punch it, I am sure I will be changing surface up to at least 1500 wetsand and then a coat of the sauce on it (those of you who have not tried this stuff, believe me I was very reluctant too but man does it really do some good things to the ball)  But of course I will be fully trying it out in box prior to changing surface to get a feel

. . . can't wait for your review, Trig.
. . . if the backend is that strong, maybe try pin above ring  -
. . . about an inch up and side ?

I am contemplating a 4.5 x 3.5 drill or maybe even 4.5 x 4 (pap over 5 up 0) with pin above the finger line (3.5 pin buffer or so) should result in something like 65 degree pin angle and 15-20 degree val angle, I'll see once the ball gets here what I have to work with and lay it out accordingly.  but the above is my gut feeling if it is a 3-4 pin

Doug,

Are they being released yet? Kinda jealous that you've had one for a couple of weeks!

quote:
Yes trigger it's a very strong ball. I know my XP was drilled different (pin under) but this ball walks all over the XP on the backend AND it revs up MUCH harder in the midlane.

Stronger than the Pearl Cherry Bomb? In the midlane yes. Does it get the same length? I dunno...but then the BB/R is not as polished out of the box as the Cherry Bomb was.

I want to go to 2000 grit on the ball and a light coat of teh Sauce to see how the reaction changes. I'll try the Zapp It Distance first since it's easier to undo than surface change and polish.

It's been a long time since I drilled a ball this aggressive but Chuck at Lane 1 told me to try it since the ball was "awesome with that layout."

I can't wait to try the ball on a shot that's more akin to my talent level. The Junior Gold Medium pattern and I just don't get along. My release is just too erratic to play the line that's necessary for the pattern on our lanes.

This ball is a perfect compliment to the original BuzzBomb and the Teal THS....3 totally different reactions...just awesome.

Buzzbomb/R has the same coverstock as the Evolution ? Was wondering why the coverstock is not Pure Grip Pearl ??

Got one yesterday (finally!!!!). Getting it drilled up today, can't wait to throw it. I think this will be a strong pearl, 1000 grit- light polish. This ball may replace my Gravity Shift (which is an excellent ball, and pretty similar surface- 1500 grit and a little more polish than the BB/R).
