ok this is my first review so bare with me:
ball: hole pounder pearl 15lb 2.75 pin 2.68 top b/f brill
drilling: pin over center of bridge, centerline of grip 5/8 left of cg. 1/2 pos side weight after drill no weight hole
coverstock: left oob
lanes: all wood heavy oil 15-15 med-med heavy15-5 5-0 med light
bowler: high speed 19-21 cranker very high rev rate span 4 5/8 4 3/4 pap over 5 1/8 up 3/4
ok I received my new banger hole pounders today. punched up with my favorite drill pattern and went and threw a few shots on the lanes before being oiled for leagues tonight well all i can say is damn this ball was awesome. stood 35 across 20 to 5 and boom no pins on the deck. threw several shot like this and the ball was just dead on. so to compare it to so other balls i grabbed my angular one and awesome revs same drilling on both just like the hole pounder only more side weight in angular one @ .75 pos. well the angular one had a sharper break point but left 4 ten pins in a row. throwing the same line. next the awesome revs, through the same line but the revs read midlane a lot harder (as it should) and came in high in six straight shots. all balls where left in oob finish.
ok we oiled the lanes with ths and started over.
first the hole pounder: stood 30 across 17-18 out to 3-5 board and it was dead nuts in the pocket. pulled a couple of shot and the ball was still dead on has great length with a very sharp break point and stored all of it's energy till it hit the 1-3. next the angular one; same shot as above ball goes a foot longer and makes a hard break to the pocket and again multiple ten pins but did get a few to carry out. if i pulled this ball it would jump and go through the face. so on to the awesome revs,stood the same 30 across 17-18 out to 3-5 (a tad wide too grey broads don't hook) and the ball was very predictable mid-late read strong arc (not flip) to the pocket and sruck several time also several; 9 pins but this was a little more forgiving if i through it bad. i bowled in league with this ball shot 742 with it. had a good line just has to make sure i didn't let up on it. if i did it would come high had one bad split with it but not ball error, bowlers error.
summary: the hole banger is a very predictable angle to the pocket, i liked it better than the angular one or the awesome revs. i had more room to make a mistake with the hole pounder than i had with the other two balls.
just wanted to say thanks to David at banger bowling to get me the balls so quick. and just because banger is a little company don't overlook them. they will be a force to deal with. if any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
