I drilled my friend's old KIP(played above 1000 games)
PIN drilled in finger and CG kicked out 70 degrees.
That ball starts hooking after first 10 feets and rolls to the pocket.

14# ball. 2 inch pin. Drilled right over the label. Pin about half an inch right of ring finger with the MB an inch left of the thumbhole. no weight hole needed.

This ball is great for when the lanes start to break down. The coverstock is very clean through the first 2/3 of the lane and then grabs the dry strongly and really takes off. The mb placement calms this ball on the backend somewhat, but it still wants to skid/snap.

I can get this ball to the pocket on fresh lanes, but it retains so much energy that the carry is poor. Lots of 4, 9, and smash 10 pins. By the third game the ball is burning off a bit more energy and the is less over/under with great carry!

I can't imagine this ball with a snappy MB placement. It wants to move so sharply when it breaks and I have the mb placed to kill the backend. If you are looking for a classic skid/snap pearl then this is an excellent choice. Just beware. When ebonite says this ball has a strong backend they weren't kidding!

Ps
I've had a 755 and a 758 with this ball in less than 2 months. These are 2 of my top 3 high series of all time. I can't say enough good things about this ball.
