Randy,

I have to take some pictures of them when i get a chance, but I have two, one drilled like my HYPE and the other like my SIDEWAYS.  Pin under bridge moved a lot for me off the pattern than the pin under middle does.  Great ball to start the THS on or something like Chettah.  Pin under middle saves me when they get to snappy, really tames the dry, great for that burnt up house shot.  Saved me last night in league when my pearls were sliding in the middle and reading too early on the outside.  I did put a weight hole in this one, inch lower than a double thumb, The pin is a little more left of middle finger, kept the flairs a little too tight for me, weight hole spaced them out some more, got it to read a little more in the mids.  This ball with surface is a monster as well, but thats another story.

We did one for my old man, pin above middle with cg kicked enough right for no weight hole, he has a good rev rate but less speed, this thing jumps off the pattern for him.  For him it retains a lot of energy through the front part of the lane with the neg pin placement and the factory finish, makes its jumpy off the pattern.  If you wanna pin up like that i''d say add a little surface, if not pin it down for the control aspect of this ball.

Beachcomber how would you compare the Lunatic and Maniac at sa,e surface. I have a Maniac 5 x 3 1/2 pin up at 3k polished. For me that all is money but at times could use a pinch more anglularity on the backend
