Wait until you try it on a house shot with that wall on the outside, that wide shot will come screaming back. If you like your Dominion you may want to look into a Solaris Blackout, it is every bit as good as the Dominion but with more versatility, a true benchmark type ball. I'm glad you liked the Dominion as I was a poster that recommended it on your other thread.

That's actually what I'm thinking about next. I'm either going to get another dominion with a different drilling, or get a Blackout. When I have the money, of course, but tonight should prove interesting with the Dominion I have right now.

Wanna thank everyone for the input on what ball to go with.

Get the Blackout!!!  Trust me.....One of the best I have ever owned....handles medium/med light very well....Hits like a train...

So, after last night, I believe I have found the ball that has fit me the best since the original Black Widow.

It's been a long time since I could actually release the ball and actually know what's going to happen with it. Most of today's stuff I have to be careful with, because it's likely to shoot off if it checks up, or do nothing if it hits a slick. Yes, I throw mostly Hammer, and pearls at that.

That being said, on the THS I normally bowl on, I kept the Dominion in play for 3 games. This is something I haven't been able to do in a very, very long time. When mine "checks up," it just rolls a little sooner, and hits flatter. Ten pin gets left, convert, slip a board left, strike.

I started out 25-15-5, blowing the pocket out. Left a 9 pin, 4 pin, and a 7 pin after 3 in a row, got 2 boards deeper, and back to par. The only thing that stopped me from a decent set last night was missing the moves and footwork in the third game.

The one thing that I can say I have a problem with, while it's an amazing thing, is the amount of pins it throws around. It took a few things that went high and were going to be simple leaves, and threw pins to make some very harsh splits. This happened in the third game, so going high was my fault, but the power this thing packs threw a little too much.

I did have quite a few people asking me what I was throwing, and got the center's proprietor to watching. He fully admitted it was a great matchup for me, because I've been going through far too much skid/flip in his eyes. My Delta was even rolling, but it has more backend than the Dominion, making it unusable after 1 game at the house I bowl at.

I'll be likely going all Seismic from here, depending on how I match up with other pieces.

Going to be ordering the Blackout soon as a ball-down for the Dominion, as soon as I get all of my bills in a row. So, on that note, should I get the Blackout drilled the same as my Dominion for a similar shape, or stronger, or weaker?

And Gunny, should I wait to look at the Raging Bull line for the new pieces, or maybe go ahead and get one? I'm honestly looking at the Stampede, as it looks like it gives good length with a strong roll, much like my Dominion is giving me, but more of the same shape.

Blackout is on its way. So should I go with the same drilling as my Dominion, or go for something weaker? Or stronger?

I have my Dominion pin down cg out at OOB and my Blackout pin up cg out at 500/2000 no polish and it is a 5 and 2 move right (right handed) from my Dominion. With this surface on the Blackout it brings the shape nearly the same as the Dominion to give me a nice consistent look.

And Gunny, should I wait to look at the Raging Bull line for the new pieces, or maybe go ahead and get one? I'm honestly looking at the Stampede, as it looks like it gives good length with a strong roll, much like my Dominion is giving me, but more of the same shape.

The Stampede is another great piece, nice length and strong motion on the back.  Takes cover changes very well.  I've had great success with mine in factory on the sports shots, and at 2000 with polish for the ths.  It's at the same surface as my Dominion(2000 w/polish), and is a good 4 and 2 move left of it. 

The Stampede is a great tournament piece as it can handle good amounts of oil, so in my opinion it's a great piece to add to that arsenal.  It wouldn't do anyone any harm to add it to their lineup.  I believe every ball is for a specific condition, and use them accordingly.  If I choose to use them in a variety of conditions, than surface, surface, surface is a must.  And so far each piece in Seismic's lineup can give any bowler a great look on all conditions.  You haven't been disappointed on the pieces so far, and the Stampede or future pieces surely wont disappoint;-)

Maybe a 3 inch pin-pap, to keep it a bit more stable? That'll be one helluva odd looking drilling for me, but it'd be a short pin-pap.
