Mine does not do anything at all. I have not found anything dry enough to use it on.

my hrhb is very predictable. im sorry that i cant give you any specs or anything like that. it has a very smooth arc and strong finish. i stand around the 12-14 boards and throw second arrow. it is not a ball for toasted lanes though. my hybrid performs best when there is some oil on the lanes. hope this helps a lil.

Im really sorry to hear that your's dosnt move. My little buddy has one. He has such an aquard release that i cant even describe. But on our heavier oiled lane conditions his ball skids until the back and arcs all the way. I believe that his is drilled the same as yours is.

I had a Hybrid, it was not for dry lanes. I founf it best on med to med heavy. It will have a great arc with a good carry on the backends. But dry, it didn't want to do much except drive hard left ( i'm righty)

My hybrid is great. Shot my first PBA 300 with it. The hybrid would be a great ball for the junior gold later in the qualifying. I will be there watching the junior olympic gold tournament in Indianapolis. Try going to the Storm seminar and listen to Chris Schlemmer do his seminar for Storm. I will be there also listening to him talk. I always learn more and more from Chris just by listening to him talk. Chris is the rep/coach/babysitter for the Storm guys on the PBA tour.

For me I does not hook allot, but I have not bowled with it latly. I might take it out this weekend. Also it might be that I'm a stroker.

Good ball. It is very clean through the heads. It will snap if there is a lot of dry to work with. It gives the classic Storm skid/flip look on a short pattern or second shift.

so i drilled it...   3 oz top with 4 inch pin
it has 3/4 oz side weight an about a 1/4 oz of finger weight... i have yet to throw it but i am going to practice on a pattern tomorrow to see how it does... its more than likely going with me to gold because man when i put my hand in it... it just feels like butter... its great... i also drilled an ace today... that might go with too.. who knows... i leave tomorrow night at 1155 pm... and indi here i come... we will see if the big S is coming for the ride

ProfessionalOwnage, hope you are experiencing success with your Hybrid.

Mine has the pin above the middle finger and CG under my ring finger...ball is a beast. Very versatile piece, play with the surface, those changes make a difference on this rock.
