Well I have tried two semi-pin axis layouts on the Cobalt pearl and the Solid Uranium. Cobalt is around 2" from pap and the Solid is about 1 1/2" from the pap. Both balls get down the lane really well, but what is unique about the reaction, is that they start revving up the entire lane, until the breakpoint where they turn consistently surprisingly harder than I would have expected. This layout for me combines strong midlane read (which I usually dont have with other balls and layouts), and a hard arcing backend.

And carry? This is the ball you want to have when in match play. By now, I am sworn on Lane1's carry and mixing ability, but the Solid really throws pins across the deck like few others. Since the ball is reading the lane early, I do not see solid nines as much of a problem either. But dead flush, it hasn't left one pin yet in about 8 games. Offhits is where you get to see the Lane1 "action". Almost seems unfair for the pins haha.

I will have to get a video up to compare the reactions of this drilling.
