15 lb., 2 oz. top weight, 2" pin. Drilled with pin above fingers, slightly to the right of the bridge. 5 1/4" pin to pap, 3 5/8" pap to mass bias. Mass Bias located approximately 1" down and to the right of the thumb. Laid out for lighter oil, lower revs, medium length, medium flare, hook & set reaction, and strong backend.
All I can say is WOW! I have put about 10 games on the ball so far, and I would venture to say that I only really had enough oil to play this ball in 2 of those games. I knew that I would not be throwing this ball a lot in my hometown house because the oil is on the lighter side. The first day I got the ball, last week, I threw eight games and spent the entire time moving left searching for a way to keep this ball on the lane. I am a tweener, and I have never been able to play over by the left gutter, but with this ball I get to pretend to be a cranker.
So, this has been a real learning experience for me. I had a good idea of how the ball played after that, so I gave it another go last night and threw a 240 first game...Ball was very forgiving, held line well, came back when too wide...gave me about a 5 board hold area...nice. Ball was carrying great when it wasn't burning up...keeps pins rolling around on the deck and tripping out leftovers on bad balls. By the second game I had already blown a hole in the pattern and had to put the ball away.
This ball is easily the strongest ball I have ever thrown. It had my partner with his Ultimate Inferno very jealous. This ball revs up slow, then gets faster in the midlane where it starts to make a big arc. Then about halfway through the arc it hits the backend and flips left HARD. One of the more impressive reactions I have seen. The ball is about 10 boards stronger than my Big Time, and IS NOT your typical big arcing particle. Can't wait to get a chance to play on conditions that match up better with this ball. I will update this post and let everyone know how the ball works out after I throw it some more.
