Here's my two cents... From what I can see you have a pro cg-type ball. This is when the MB is not in line with the Pin or CG and for the most part is ment for left handers. I cant tell where exactly your CG is but it looks like you have it kicked right far to have such a big weight hole...

 The strongest MB position is around 2-3 inches from your thumb and located at a 45* angle. Yours appears to be to close to your thumb. I am basing this on my reactions with MoRich balls. I had a couple laid out with the MB being close like that and even stright under the thumb hole, and both seemed to roll very bad for me. I think placing the MB close to the thumb makes it get down the lane far, and then kicking the CG off center like you did makes the ball flare to the highest level. This being said your ball may be skidding and flaring to much at the same time if you follow me not letting the ball read the lane hardly at all.

 I am always learning to the highest level so please correct me if I am wrong. Somebody else may think differently... I personally think you would have had a better reaction if you had kept your palm closer to the CG and not used a weight hole. But then again, if you had you would have had a bad MB location, so you maybe fighting a losing battle here.

 I dont think its a good idea to plug it and redrill it for I have seen so many people do that with this perticular ball and still not like it. I would go with another seletion and just try to get a few friends to try it, and see if you could sell it to them. I liked my TF very much but on alot of conditions another ball like the Ultra just performed better. For the prices it cost to plug and redrill it, I would just be a wiser choice to move on and try the next piece. Make sure your next ball has a good MB location and can possibly be in line with the Pin and CG. That will help alot in great ball reaction. Hope this helps, John

From the looks of the picture, the CG is at the most an inch off to the right of the pin to MB line, which is completely normal with a lot of balls with a marked mass bias from every manufacturer. So you did not get a blem or "pro" anything. Depending on top weight that might make an x hole required more than having it inline or to the left but it shouldn't require a crater for a hole.

Since with a ball with a strong MB like the Twisted you can pretty much ignore the CG placement (except for considering X hole size to retain legal statics), I'm thinking the drill just isn't strong enough for the lanes and rev rate you have, even with surface changes. Hopefully that redrill will help you out.

I want to chime in on this one, I looked at the picture and I have a TF drilled pretty much the exact same way. I have to say,the ball reaction wasn't quite was I was expecting, instead of a ball slightly longer and flippier than my Ultra Zone, I got a skid flip monster that's not very controllable unless you know how to manipulate releases.  This ball reminds me alot of the Paradigm from Storm that I drilled 4x4 with MB in strong position a couple of years ago.  

From my experience with this drill, axis rotation is bad because the ball will skid too far downlane if there's any oil at all.  I've tried it at different surfaces and any time I tried to give it more axis rotation, the ball would skid too far and puke on the back.  I ended up changing the surface to 500 abralon w/ heavy polish and keeping my hand more up the back of the ball.  Doing that gave me a pretty good ball reaction.  I need to use it at more houses to see what happens on higher friction surfaces, but I think that keeping the hand up the back of the ball with this drill is the key.  Because of that, this ball is going to be very condition specific and not as versatile as I was hoping for.  But I will say when the condition is right, it's lights out.

My guess is that you have a release that's more around the side of the ball which would cause the type of ball reaction you're seeing.  You could probably get it to work decently well if you know how to manipulate your release to staying more up the back, otherwise it's a plug and redrill with a stronger layout or a replacement.  I think the Smash Zone may be a better choice for you.
