Drilled with pin above middle finger and CG about 1" right of grip center (about a 6" x4" drilling for me), no weight hole.

The object was to see on how light an oil I could successfully use this ball, on how light an oil I could use any Legends resin pearl, actually.

Well, my summer league has medium-light oil, maybe a hair more; not quite true medium oil.

This drill uses extreme pin-PAP to reduce flare, as such it goes into a strong roll relatively early, and has much less continuation, (than a 4" - 5" pin-PAP drilling), I believe, because of the reduced flare plus the strong coverstock.

So the bottom line is it's not very weak at all. I have to keep it at the oil line and not allow it to leak out to the dry. If I keep it on the oil line, it stays online and hits Legends hard. If I allow it to swing outside, it's "Left turn now, Clyde!", relatively speaking, because of the strong coverstock. And that cover came high glossed out of the box.

No dice.

Today, after using it for the 2nd time, I sanded it to 2000 grit, using an Abralon pad, and then put another high gloss polish on it. I'll try it once again in the near future to see how well it does.

As reference point, my Visionary Green/Blue Centaur, virtually zero core, very mild coverstock, drilled 4x4 stacked, sanded to 2000 grit, left dull/matte finsihed, went longer and could be leaked out to the dry with no sudden snap/massive hook, than the SatisfaXion had. My Panic, (just drilled 3.5"x 5" , label leverage), hooked earlier and smoother (strangely strong, given the almost zero RG differential and 2000 grit box polished coverstock, but it is Superflex!)
