If u want a late breaking saw buy the cherry pearl bomb or polish the fool out of the one u have.

try using the "." key on your keyboard, it makes the posts easier to read.

Billy, you say that the pin is over the fingers, is it directly over the bridge..? Does the ball have any side weight..? Where are you throwing the ball, over which arrow out to where down the lane..?

Depending on how the ball is drilled, it could be rolling out on dry lanes/dry heads and tighter backends. Especially if you stay behind the ball and have a lot of forward roll. Have you tried it on an oilier condition..? =:^D

if you use label drilling at 1.30,ball will go long and break hard...if you want it to roll up earlier,drill 5 x 3 with pin under or at side of finger hole.a weight hole will be needed as teh cg will be kicked out.saws work great with this drilling.

Billy, I think I'm correct in that the ball is rolling out, because the pin is too close to your track. You need to move the pin to the right of the ring finger. This will give the ball more backend movement, which I think this is what you're looking for. =:^D

t-god thanks i talked with my driller and we decided to put a weight hole in it and the difference was a totally different ball started crushing the rack pins flying very hard hitting ball thanks to all billy
