I originally posted my review in the forum on the other website, and now that the site is updated, I can post it here.

The great thing about this that the drilling sheet is accurate to what the ball will do.

Chris spoke with Mo Pinel about a layout and Mo suggested a layout. Chris follow the drilling sheet and the ball did exact what the sheet says it will.

I threw the ball, and it is just what I was looking for. The ball gets down the lane, goes into a heavy roll, and smooth, controlled backend. This is one of my favorite reaction.

On a scale of 1-10, I would give this ball a strong 9. You can change the surface to meet your needs and shine it up to get it long and strong. Great, versitile ball and will fit into a lot of bowlers hands.

If you have any questions, please email me at Bill@buddiesproshop.com.

Thanks

About me: I am right handed. I have above average speed, with well above average revolutions.  

About the ball: I drilled my Minotaur with the contol lay-out.  The surface on the ball is 1200 grit wet sand on a Sphere machine.  It has around 3/8's of an ounce of positive side weight and 3/4's of an ounce of finger weight.

About the Lane Condition:  The lanes are Brunswick Pro-Anvile(SP), I am not sure on the exact specifics of the condition, however, it is the slickest house shot I have ever bowled on, and the backends are not real crisp.

Review: Next to Columbia's Blue Pearl Pulse, this is the greatest ball I have ever thrown.  It clears the heads with ease, even when the lanes break down, conserves energy and then makes the turn. It is incredible, it will hook on virtually any amount of oil, yet it gets down the lane when there is very little oil.  And if you want a ball that carries, this is the one. It hits like a truck, but what is so amazing is that it produces this power without being uncontrollable.  It is one of the most controllable balls that I have.  I have had this ball a while, but what it did today is why I am writing a review on this ball.  My Employer and I were bowling on a "Sport League" type shot.  It was a flat condition, which was oiled 2 to 2 for 30 feet and buffed to 31 feet.  In case you are wondering, it was tough, and I liked it.  But the amazing thing was, while almost every other ball that we were using would roll out, and produce an inconsistent reaction with a marshmellow type hit, hmm I wonder why =), the Minotaur gave us a controllable, consistent reaction, in which we only got one shot to roll out, with the same great hit.  It was amazing, I wouldn't have believed that the most hooking ball in my bag would have produced the best reaction on that condition.  In short, if you are looking for a ball that gets through the heads, makes a nice midlane move, with a controllable, yet big backend that hits like nothing else on the market, this is your ball.  Or you could throw another ball, and lose to the guy who is throwing the Minotaur. THIS BALL ROCKS!!!!!!!!

I purchased this ball while in Reno bowling in the ABC.  Brought it back home to drill.  Love this ball.  Drilled this ball (as with all of my balls to maximum potential) and wow.  Amazing.  Being a dull ball, you would think that the minute it hit the dry, it would turn. no way.  this ball is control.  Bowled in a nasty condition, no oil on second shift.  my emb would turn immediately as soon has i hit the lane.  but not my minotaur.  Fun ball to have and the price, cant be beat!

Drilling is with pin in a weak position and the mass bias in a strong position, no extra hole, it just crush the pins in light hits and I don't have much of a hand, but this ball really hits, I play it in medium conditions, use the same ball for all 6 games it hooks and when the lanes began to dry it holds INCREDIBLE, best ball ever.
Now I want to try the new Colossus.

Did someone say hook?
This ball is a hooking machine. so much so that i simply can't use it at my centre, it hooks too much and i am at brook all the time. If you want a ball which hooks more than any other ball out get this although if you get this ball it might just be too much.
Overall rating: 6/10 (it hooks a stupid amount!)

I drilled a Minotaur yesterday for my heavy oil ball.  The layout is the sharp breakpoint layout.  I am between a medium and a high tracker, average revs and average speed.

I used it for the first time last night in our sport league.  The league changes the oil pattern routinely and we are now using a 45' pattern.  This ball was unbelievable.  I ended up with a 761 (257-253-251).  It carried the light shots and kept the pins low to the deck.  The flush shots were ten in the pit.  I highly recommend this ball if you are struggling with heavy oil.  But if you don't have a lot of oil, don't try to use this ball.  

I have to post a followup review to do this beast proper justice.....

I decided to shine the holy hell out of it to see if maybe it could play dry lanes better but it still checked up kinda early on my house shot so I thought "Oh well" and put it away only for those flooded conditions.

But I bowled last weekend in a tournament where the track was FRIED between the 7 and the 15 but inside the 20 had really good oil and only the "crankers" seemed to be able to make the ball finish from inside. **ALL** my Columbia balls (read my other reviews) were giving me massive over-under and I badly limped into the 2nd round (3 games qualifying, qualified last at 622) so I decided to try the Minotaur just to see if it would work and boy did it!

I was crossing the arrows around 21/22 (laydown point around 27/28)and getting it as far out as the 6 board and the ball was absolutely shredding racks!!! I thought "rolling" balls weren't supposed to be able to cover many boards?! Boy was I wrong! That 1st game of round 2, I went [double, solid 9, 5 bagger, 4 pin, strike/spare in the 10th] for 248 after not bowling a game above 216 in qualifying and not having a clue where the pocket was all day!

The ball still needs a good amount of head oil to use, as I was crossing the faster part of the lane at the heads, but this ball does **NOT** limit the angles to the pocket you can play and is a far cry from all the "condition-specific" Columbia balls I've thrown.  This baby will work regardless of whether you're swinging 22 to the 6 or if you're playing straight up the 3! As long as there's good heads, you're fine.

This does it! I am hooked on MoRich now and am actively seeking something from the Colossus line to compliment my Minotaur.
