This ball is looking more and more like a true light to medium-light oil ball. I've used twice in leagues so far, but not for all 3 games. Mine is drilled mild, approximately 4.5" x5.5", pin in ring finger, CG 1/2" negative side of grip center, 3" pin-CG distance. I have not touched the coverstock and, so far, see no reason to do so.

It gets good but not extreme length and seems to have a nice mild, very controllable arc at the breakpoint; still not a small hooking ball. It definitely needs some dry to make its turn, but no where near as much as the Straight Flush, which seemed to need mammoth amounts of dry.

If you're having trouble with 2nd shift lack of oil, I'd say this might be worth a try.

I don't have enough use to post anywhere near a full report/review yet.

As with other LM/L balls I wouldn't recommend drilling it too weak or with too high a pin (depending on your PAP, of course); remember the core is a weak one to begin with and allows the use of slightly stronger coverstocks (See "The Buzz", ). The more hand you have, the deeper you can play with this ball. I am strictly average.
