Bear with me this is my first review ok to start ball was drilled using first pattern on list that came with it pin is 1.5 to 2 out First time out of box after drilling through a 265 the first game on freshly oiled lanes ball worked fine til the carrydown got in the way this ball definitely hates oil but will work great if the backends are dry any oil and boom it dies quickly would recomend ball for the first game or when oil has dissappeared from your lanes otherwise try something else overall give this ball a 8 out of 10
GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BOWLING

I have the purple pearl Hit.

Great ball for toasted lanes.  I was able to play 5th arrow out to 10 with this ball when the lanes were fried, so it will hook, just not in oil.

The other night everyone was struggling with the drier than ever conditions and everyone was shooting about 170 - 190.  I pull this ball out and shot 253-244-258.  A few of the shots I missed on were my fault and I pretty much carried almost every time I hit the pocket.  

This is the best dry lane ball I have ever thrown.  I can't tell the difference in hitting power with this ball and any of my other 2 piece balls.  Keep in mind, it is meant for dry lanes.  When they are dry this ball will go loooong but still hook plenty.  This ball is awful on slick conditions and ok on medium.  Once they get somewhat dry, this is the ball I will go to from now on.

I don't think his will be a good ball for anyone who is not a cranker or for people with high ball speeds.  If you're a cranker with high revs and medium ball speed, this ball is great for dry lanes.  Everyone is afraid to go with a weak resin ball, but trust me, it hooks a ton when they are dry.  Like I said, I was playing 5th arrow with it and throwing it about 16-17 mph.

-------------------------------------------

UPDATE - I bought a Barbed Wire a few months after this one and have to say the BW is a much better ball for dry lanes.  Just has a more controllable arc to the pocket and much more versatile.  They're both good balls, but the BW is much better in my opinion.

I got the red one.  I am not going to bore you with specs, since it is a pancake ball.  But after drilling it was 7/8 finger and almost 1/2 side.

I have been holding this ball and finally got it drilled up when my league started playing around with the shot (dry heads, a little oil in the mid lane and dry back).  The even wiped out the middle, play there and it hooks right off your hand.  It became so dry that anything I threw died before reaching the pocket.  The following week, my friend (tonygee) drilled it up, brought it to my league, and I used it that night to shoot about 640.  Not a great series, but considering the scores that night, not bad, and with a 15lb pancake ball.  When it's dry, this ball shines.  It just skids over the dry and has a great hard roll to the pocket (surprisingly strong).  The only time you leave 10's is when you play deep.  It got so dry, I went inside 15 by the 3rd game.  I just could not get the right reaction to carry.  By the 6th frame, I decide to go back to my original line about (10-12), with more speed.  That did the trick.  I will use it for spares on a more oily shot.

I do have a high track and it will occasionally clip the finger holes.  However, a minor adjustment (less hit, more push) and that stopped.  In fact, this ball will be a good practice ball when I work on a release with a lower track.

Overall, this ball is does exactly what it is supposed to do, and is a little stronger than what I expected.

God I hate this ball. I also hate the conservative drilling I got on it, but really even on dry conditions unless you can throw it hard and dart it straight, I can't find much to like about this ball. I really don't like the coverstock on it. I think it's a poor match with the core used. Reaction is pretty tame to say the least and is difficult to rev up. I seriously can rev up my White Dot harder. Alot of flat tens this ball leaves and if it hits like, dont expect it to carry. I'm going to get a new dry lane ball soon to replace this rancid ball.
