Ok, the ball is a particle Ebonite tornado TPS, Im a stroker, I throw 14 mph, lower revs, and im using a release where my hard is behind the ball and a vicious snap

Or if you have an other suggestions for oil balls, that are cheaper.

Right now I got a hammer diesel particle, ebonite predator, Nu-line excalibur legend, and a el nino 2000.

My diesel is good for heavy oil but I want a ball with a little more flip

I think you might be looking for something that doesn't exist.  For truely heavy oil, you won't get nor would you want a big backend snap.  You just need enough surface to get the ball to grab, and create enough angle to carry when you hit the pocket.  Very few people can throw a big hook in heavy oil.  Don't get caught up in how it looks, concentrate on knocking down pins.

I'm no drilling expert, so please check with an expert before using my advice.  For a strong drilling, consider puting the pin at the leverage position (3 3/8" from you PAP) and the CG on your PAP.  Weighthole on PAP for a smoother backend, outside the PAP for more flare and a little sharper backend.  For a little more length, move the pin to about 4 to 4 1/4" from your PAP and a little above your fingers, CG at or near the PAP.

You also say you have an ebonite Predator. If it is the original red dull predator, it is still one of the best oil balls around. With a low RG (2.44) and a particle cover it will cover oily shots with out much doubt.

If it were me I would forget about trying a different drilling and just sand one of the best working balls (in oil) you have to 320-400 and get some Neo-tac "hookit". Works for me. You will get a bigger change from coverstock changes than you will from a different drill.

The strongest drilling is a 3 3/8 pin to PAP in a 12:00 stack with a weighthole 3 3/8" below your PAP.  HOWEVER, strongest doesn't equal best.  Strongest often equals least consistent.

But based on your stats (slow, low revs) & desires (heavy oil, vicious snap), that drilling will give you what you are looking for.

And here I was hoping Brain would say something about mass bias and T-God would  blast in with a counter reply.

Constantine - would that be similar to a rev-lev drill?
