Picked up off of ebay for a nice price, ball was drilled with pin above the bridge, cg swung outside the palm. Same drilling I have on my Eraser/Eraser PP, good for backend......well. tried it out this summer on Pattern "C" and went dead straight. Slowed ball speed down and tried to turn it a bit and.....straight. WTF I say to myself. Put it in the bag and was done with it. Next week on "C" hit it down to 320 to try to get some movement out of it and well it hooked about 3 boards. Took it back to the shop and plugged it. After redrilling it 3 3/8 x 5 1/2 (same drilling as my Warp Zone see that post), this ball suddenly became the "A" ball. Hit it with Storm #3 shine and a decent weight hole on my PAP. Tried it on the ol' house shot and was able to play a little 10-5 bump and get to the pocket with no problem. Carry was marginal, lots of 7 pins. Moved left a board (lefty) and 7 pins were carrying better, now it was 6 pins. Moved 3 in to play the swishers and carry went through the roof. Everything carried last game shot 268 with a 3 pin and a stone 9. Used it on pattern C again during the roll off and was able to play it like a house shot, shot 230 which for 9 total games was my high for that pattern. Ball rolls very smooth and does not overreact (tends to underreact at times) which is good. Will be trying this out the the other center here in 2 weeks when leagues start up again, hopefully the light hit carryfest continues. So far, 8 out of 10. Thank god I redrilled it or else my father-in-law would have had a new boat anchor.

Swallowing a quarter is nothing to worry about.....if she craps out two dimes and a nickel.....then I'd worry.

I got this ball drilled up with the pin above the fingers and the cg kicked out about 2 inches.  I've thrown this ball on three differnet patterns one heavy synthetic, one medium wood, and the last light synthetic.  

On the heavy synthetic pattern the ball made a small gradual move to the pocket but left alot of dead 10's.  THe line was alright but the carry was horrible.  

On the medium/light wood pattern this ball was very controllable and allowed me to play a more direct line then my X-factor Ace and retain just as mch carry and power.  The ball kept the pins low and sent pins flying across the deck with ease.  I played 35 to 10 with my Ace on this pattern and shot 215 and 225.  I took out the Tour power moved in to 15 swinging to 5 and the ball carried everything.  For 5 games I averaged 245 on the same pattern as the Ace.

The last pattern I have tried this ball was a light synthetic pattern.  This turned out to be one of the best patterns for this ball.  I moved a touch deeper on this pattern then the last pattern and played 22 to 5.  As long as I made a clean shot and kept my ball speed up the ball was wonderful.  I averaged 240 for 8 games on this pattern and found that this is where this ball shined and was the most forgiving.

Overall I would give this ball a 5.

On medium to light oil I would give this ball an 8.5.  The ball is very forgiving as long as your delivery is right.  If you throw the ball the way you are suppoed to the ball reacts accordingly.
