I use this ball exclusively on synthetics, as I do not bowl in any wood houses. This ball is my benchmark ball. Strong rolling and very predictable. I use it in 3 different houses, each with different shots, and also in tournaments, and have had success on all of the above mentioned conditions. How do you have yours drilled? Pin placement, cg placement, balance hole if applicable? I have mine punched out with the pin just above and to the right of the ring finger, which puts it about 4" from my pap, and the cg is about 1/2" to the right of grip center.
