Was bowling on a flying backend condition and wanted to start dominating.
Ego drilled (normal) for me about 4 1/2 pin to pap was too much. Sonic X pearl drilled stong 3 3/4 pin to pap, was just a touch too little!
Wanted to slot it! Took a Hot Rod and it is ALMOST just right! Except for one thing! Drilled it 5 X 4 with a stabilizing weighthole. Ball is just too long and then has a good backend when it finds dry.
If only I had drilled like my Sonic X pearl it probably would have been as the little bears said, "JUSt Right".
The core is spiffy one with a nice move, just drill it right stupid. I tried my Hot Wire cousin the Walter Ray drilled stong on the shot and with a similar speced core to the Hot Rod/Wire combo it WAS, JUST RIGHT!
REgards,

PS will try a light scuff with a white pad to see if surface will give me the right look. Failing that a Sonic Boom is coming in with the Sonic X pearl drilling to save the day! Then one week after that they change lanes from Wood to Synthetic! He He!
