Just got it drilled today , Love it so far , but just wish it had a little more backend.. Shot 3 games on a standard 39 ft house pattern, with a little bit of carrydown, but it performed pretty well.. rolled a 202, 203, 197..

Heres the ball with how its drilled

thanks a bunch guys.. i suppose I jumped to conclusions a little to quick, Even tho i like it, Its still brand new and will change a bit in the next few weeks possibly.. It might be me as well.. I might need to adjust my approach a bit since ive thrown the same ball for the past 10 years

I will say this tho.. When I hit a dead pocket strike the DB doesnt sxplode the pins anywhere near what my Danger zone black ice did.. the DZ is a 16# and the DB is a 15.1before drilling, so I understand there might be a bit more carry with the Zone but just not used to the mild strike yet

Keep in mind if you were looking for a similar reaction to the Black Ice with the Diamondback the Black Ice was a polished pearlized ball and the Diamondback a sanded solid ball.

If both were drilled identical the Ice will have much more length and snap then the Diamondback. To get a similar reaction from the Diamondback would require having the surface polished to help get more length and retain energy for more snap on the backend.

I also recommend getting at least 10 games on the ball before making any changes, because as you get some oil in your track, the balls reaction will change. For better or worse won't be known until after this 'break in' period.
