Alright everyone,
  I believe I got the overall message from my last post. Main points were:
1) Play with the surface
2) Use more aggressive drillings for flatter sport shots

So having stated that I have a Saga:

I know the pic sucks, sorry. It has a 3.5 to 4 inch pin and 3.03 OZ of top weight. I am open for suggestions on how to punch it up aggressively to help me combat longer flatter shots. Now I know that this is not going to match up as well as a Battle but I had this ball already so its a start. I was thinking about pin under my bridge and the MB towards my VAL. But maybe thats not aggressive enough??

Now I do have the original epic:

Which tries to make a move very early despite the pin placement. But I find that this ball revs wayyy too early and quickly and gives me minimal movement on the backends and mediocre mid lane. Roll out you say...I doubt it. I used it in the oilest of oilest houses up here and got the same thing. And I have actually played with this cover took it to 800 and even polished it, no avail.  So I was thinking that due to the strong MB in the Epic cores that maybe I should stay away from putting it in the B. position of the RG drilling instructions. Also a lot of people mention strong MB placement and I would just like to clarify if that means what RG deems as a strong placement or do you have other interpretations.

Thanks again all,
BMM

Thanks Kman,
  I am worried about the TW also, with the pin so long the CG is going to be terribly close to my VAL due the mis alignment of the Pin, cg, mb.  I may try to see if I can trade it for a shorter pin.

Coach Jim,
I live in Mitchellville, its near Bowie. I don't bowl in a sport shot league, I wish I did. I just bowl in York every month and I am looking to start bowling in the VMSBT tournaments regularly. I don't want the Saga to go longer I actually wanted it to start up sooner. I am going to alter the cover of course.
