I don't have a Hole Pounder Solid, but I do have a Hole Pounder Pearl and a Hole Finder Pearl, both I purchased for dry to medium conditions, which I have had to bowl on a lot. I just had them punched up and guess what, I have not had any dry conditions that I was used to bowling on and have been having more medium to heavy oil. The lanes were too oily for the Hole Pounder Pearl, so I used the Hole Finder Pearl and did pretty good with it. At a tournament I bowled 3 games with scores of 234, 278, and 244. But like I mentioned, I don't have the solid, but I am sold on Banger!
