Brother Pat,
I'm loving my BPr more each time I roll it.
For a pearl cover this ball is very strong.
Minus the particle load, this ball really finishes hard and carry down not a problem. I have mine pin below and between the fingers. CG kicked out 2 inches from the mid line with weight hole. I'm going to get a second one and stack the Pin over the ring finger like your first one. I have found out that for me, on a typical THS or modified shot, the Lane Masters reactive non particle equipment are more than enough ball. I always end up having to put the particle equipment up because they are so strong. If you have to polish your particle equipment, why not just go with reactive equipment that comes polished.
