Likes: Have this ball drilled with pin at 4" from PAP just below and to the right of the ring finger. MB in the strong position with a balance hole drilled in the vertial axis line about 3 inches below PAP. On the Columbia Mass Bias Drilling Instructions, it would be drilling #3-Strong Layout/Medium track. I am a stroker, with a ball speed 17-18 mph, 166 average, and only bowled about 4 years. I am not an expert or great bowler by any means, but this is my analysis of this ball. With this layout, this ball doesn't overreact when the lanes are relatively dry. Even when you hit the pocket light or a bit heavy, you still get great pin counts and forgiveness. It goes fairly long, with a slow gradual reaction into the pocket. Good ball to have for medium to dry conditions, or if you want to move inside more with greater amounts of oil. If you have lower speeds or more revs, this should be a very versatile ball for anyone.
Dislikes: When there is heavy oil, this ball only breaks about 6-8 boards tops. This layout is designed for heavy oil, but did not give the results I had desired for this layout. Definitely a ball for medium to dry lanes, or if you have alot of revs. I usually start out with my Storm Furious on the first game during leagues, but end up with this ball in the second and third games when the lanes start drying out.
