I tried a Scream on a light - medium-light oil house pattern earlier in February: pin over center of bridge (5"+ pin-PAP), CG kicked out slightly, no wt. hole. With the stock surface it was almost too much backend to control, but when I could control, it had a bunch of power!!  Spooky strong.

Took the surface to 4000 grit matte to use in 3rd game of sport pattern for a while. OK, nothing great, nothing terrible.

Just took the surface to 4000 grit + polish; going to try it again this week on the house pattern.

With your higher rev rate, be cautious about the pin position. (I'm only at 300 +/-.)

For drier to medium conditions, the roto ball i would go for would be the wrecker, shatter or rising star.  The neutron core and the coverstocks are excellent on all these balls and they are excellent for price & performance.  The scream and shout are milder versions using modified versions of the neutron core and less aggressive coverstocks.

The Scream and the Shout would be the balls I look at first, especially since you mentioned dryish conditions. Roto is notorious for giving you MORE ball than you really need, in terms of overall strength. Since you do have a fairly high rev rate, you might want to go with a pin down layout to help with control.

Thanks guys for all the help. Jesse i was thinking of a pin down scream and hitting it with a 4000 pad to calm down the backend. But after seeing all the success people have been having with the shatter i was just torn and they look very good also.

How come the Berserk never gets any love?  A great benchmark piece.

I was thinking the shout would be stronger that's why i had thought the scream but my pro shop keeps telling me a weak drill on a wrecker.

How did you drill yours and what kind of volume are you seeing at your house.
