I've had one for the last couple of weeks.  I have mine drilled with the pin up and to the right of the ring about 2", cg straight down from there and a balance hole.  I'm a high tracker, med-fast speed, medium revs.  On most of my stuff I like to stand 25 throw to 13 at the arrows out to 8 or so at the break.  With this ball I have to play up the boards a little more, I'll stand 20, to 13 at the arrows out to 10 or so and it comes back hard on the backend.  On dry stuff I have to keep my speed up, or it'll come through the nose and I can usually miss it right a few boards and it will come back hard.  If I miss left it will hold in the oil, but will usually hit light if that happens.  This ball has a ton more drive than Storm gives it credit for.  I've blown past the 9 a few times on flush hits, only to have a messenger come through and knock it out.

When I first used the ball it was a bit jumpy, but after a few games it settled down nicely.  The ball breaks about 3-5feet later than other stuff I've thrown, so it did take some getting used to.

I've had one for a few months, fits in very nice for me on a medium-light house shot. It is very smooth for a pearl, not hugely jumpy for me and has a nice midlane read. Very solid ball for any type of medium shot or broken down shot, beware of carrydown and oil though, this ball hates it.

How's hitting power of it? Mine's going to be pin right of ring, cg stacked.

The ball hits hard, and will motor on the backend with that layout.

Excellent ball, but stronger than I anticipated.  Have mine drilled with pin above and to the right of the ring finger (5" pin to axis, no xtra hole).  This ball hits really well, even from deep angles, when it matches up.
