Has anyone played around with this drilling on this ball?

What reaction do you think it would have on

Low rev player
Strokers
High rev player

i have a higher rev rate but i'll let a buddy oof mine throw it also he throws around 15 to 16 and is what you would call a tweener/ stroker. i use alot of weeker drillings since i like to play up the boards

ok well i drilled the ball and had the chance to throw the ball on a fresh shot and all i can say is the ball is still strong it clears the heads with ease and a smooth move to the pocket

ball is very angular with mist of the drillings I have seen

it still moved but made it more of a hard arc for me instead of the sideways look

I actually just finished drilling my second Reign and went with the RICO layout...i havent drilled a ball like this in a long time.  I will be doing a video for this ball with some surface changes after some testing.

Question:

If you feel you must put a "calming" drill on a flippy ball, it seems that flippy ball reaction is not really what you want/need.
Why not buy a ball whose basic design results in a ball reaction you need/want?

Maybe a Hy-Road, maybe a polished Furious? I am not sure.

Because the Reign is NEW!!! DUH!!

Actually some of the best balls I have drilled are flipped balls pin down and rolly balls pin up.

like duke said sometimes that drilling really makes a ball as far as drilling a flippy ball with a smoother layout yeah i want the length that ball gives me but dont want the erratic and hard to control hook. it makes a sid snap ball more controlable simple really. it should work really well on the cheetah pattern tonight in league

It has nothing to do with it being a new ball.

I threw one at a demo day and liked the length also but just wanted it to move a little bit smoother to the hole
Thats why I was asking about a Rico drill

I already have a fast,furious,hy-road,natural
