I wanted to give my feedback on the New Hole Pounder Pearl by Banger. I just had it drilled up yesterday. I do not know much about drilling but I had the ball drilled to go down the lane and then hook because thats what the ball said it does best. I told my ball driller what I wanted and he put the pin right above my fingers. I average 195 in my league and I thought this ball would be perfect for this lane condition.  I WAS RIGHT!!! I shot 249,255,279 783 series my highest ever. The ball gets through the heads very clean and doesnt read the middle of the lane until about 40 feet then it makes a very controlled hook back to the pocket. After I got done tonight I looked at there specs saying that the overall hook is 70 of 100 but I think its more like 75-80. But it does what it says it very controlable. I threw the ball good tonight I don't know if it was because it was a new ball and I get excited to throw a new ball or if the ball just works. I don't care either way I bowled great and can't wait to bowl with in league Friday. On a scale of 1-10 on what I think the ball is a 10. Does anyone know when Banger is looking to bring out any other balls? I need more balls that find the hole. I will keep you informed on my progress.

I throw the ball about 16mph and turn the ball pretty good. The only other ball I threw last night was the One by Ebonite. It has the pin right above fingers as well and when I threw it it hooked way to much in the back end for me to throw. I pulled out the Hole Pounder and it doesn't hook as much in the back end as the One. I believe the lanes are oiled 36 feet with it dryer to the right. It is a standard house shot. I don't bowl a lot of tournaments so if you want a detailed account of everything I can't provide that. I can tell you that the ball worked very well last night and I happy with it so far. If you want to ask me something I can find out I will ask my ball driller he should be able to tell me.
