First the Mission was drilled with the pin above the ring finger, cg in the palm, and MB right of the thumb (No weight hole needed). Also, I normally throw 16, but my friend throws 15.
Now the lanes we bowl on are a flooded house shot with out of bounds outside of 8. The house got busted for having less than 2 units outside of 5, and since then they have taken away the outside and forced everyone to the track.
Okay, first off, the Mission is not as strong as the Reign of Fire, but it really depends on what you are looking for it to do.
I was quite impressed with the Mission and I really think I will be purchasing my own and bumping my Gravity Shift out of the bag.
I would say it's perhaps the strongest pearl I've ever thrown, and it carried things I shouldn't have. The carry really reminded me of the carry Diandra was getting with her 3.5 on the show this past weekend.
If you are looking for something with great mid/late reaction with tons of continuation, than the Mission is all you need. It actually created a shot shape exactly like the Invasion on a sport shot, but I could use it on a house shot. So if you want to beat the rush and get a pearlized Invasion before they even make one, the Mission is your ball.

It was a bold experiment then as it is now. It wasn't meant to make us comfortable, it was meant to make us free."
