ok special thanks to Chuck at lane 1 for getting me a test ball out and a suggested layout on this beauty.
ball 15# 3oz 3.75 top and 3-4 pin
drilling
pin to pap 5.5 with pin above middle finger
mb at approx 55* this resulted in the cg in palm with the mb being 1" directly right of thumb
shot THS with soft backs, heads broke down slightly
took a few frames to get a good read on the stock, drilling and matchup to the lanes. ended up playing left foot on 45 roughly targeting 4th arrow out to the ten board, with my normal release and drying heads this was too much ball, after fiddling with release i finally soften my hand up enough to throw a 5 bagger to end first game mediocre 168 due to 3 splits, game two started in teh same spot and had a great look, one open 205 score, last game more of the same although more strikes one open 233 game
some observations of this ball. rolls great, will definitely move off the dry great color match up very easy to see what the ball is doing down lane. the hit of this ball is something different, def seems to be a bigger push thru the deck then the other lane 1 stuff i have, this ball has a very distint soung to it as well. I was cursing Chuck at lane 1 while putting my equipment away, Dang now i have to take somethign out and make room for this ball
overall this is going to be a great ball for the league shots, the core match up to cover is great, for a particle solid this ball is nice, not being a particle fan this ball changed my mind, reminds me a lot of the the blueberry/black raspberry line, same type roll. Drilled up strong this ball can handle some juice, even drilled with teh pin in a weaker spot like i have it it still motors big time. only three games on ti and i like what i see so far, this is going to be one great peice in the line up
