Pattern 1-a reverse block shot as 7 to the gutter was OB and insides especially 17 and left were extremely dry. The v2 sweet, i was standing 30 and rolling it 17-18 to about 10 and letting it fire back high flush.
Pattern 2-THS with flying backends but some oil in the mids from 17-20. I couldn't really find a liine with the v2 sweet. The lanes were so spotty from open bowlers all week it was ridiculous.
I bowl on a crown shot tomorrow for leagues, oiled to 38 and buffed to 42 i believe and will update this tomorrow evening. Will also update when i get more games on the ball as well.
UPDATE: Here is the update as promised. Getting used to the ball still but overall I think it is an amazing ball. It's actually pretty strong. I was standing 29 throwing it out to about 10 and it was coming back to the pocket and ripping the rack. I sent it out to about 2-3 and the ball actually had enough to get back to the pocket mixed the pins around but left the 7-10. This ball throws the pins around, keeps them extremely low and close to the deck. Great looking ball, great looking reaction, and looks great in my arsenal. Is ideal for medium conditions.

I always say don't have expectations when drilling a bowling ball or you will be disappointed. I was expecting the V2 Pearl relived. This is not the same ball for me.
The V2 Sweet had more length than my original V2 Pearl, but had the very familiar roll pattern of the other V2's with the same core. I found the V2 Sweet to have a very similiar reaction to the Awesome Impact, but the V2 Sweet made a smoother arcing motion to the pocket.
On our higher volume house shot, I was able to play the oil line and bounce the ball off the dry for the first game shooting 260 with the ball. After the lanes started to dry up, I made the change to a different ball.
If you like the V2 series, you can not go wrong with this ball. You have have the familiar roll pattern of the V2 line with more length than the V2 Sanded or Strong.

It's a great ball. I was play from 10 to 3 on house shot (32-35 feet with 5 is out of bound area). It's made very smooth turn at the breakpoint and dive for the pocket. Very controllable and easy to adjust. So far have not experienced over/under. I'm getting split when it hit high but that might be because of me.
I think it's start to glow on me.

Not good with drilling lingo so i told my tech man to drill it to hold,hold,hold,and then snap like a banshee. he put the pin 1/2 inch directly above the ring finger. my throw is like this. I start in the middel dot and throw about 12 boards right. the ball does not move until the last 10 feet and then it looks like it finds 4th gear and accelerates threw the pocket. i dont put much spin on the ball but it still snaps like crazy.
this ball works great in light and medium oil, but has touble coming around in heavy oil. yet if you tweak your throw a littel it still will get strikes for you. all in all a great ball and defintaly worth the price.
also im not a very good bowler (just got into it seriously). i averaged about a 110 with my poorly drilled urathane hammer. last night i was averaging about 160. one thing i did learn is that a ball is 20% of your game, 70% is the bowler, and 10% is luck. (that is my obeservation) if this ball was in a skilled bowlers hand it would work like a charm

WHY DID YOU BUY THIS BALL?: I was looking for a strong reactive cover base to offer great length and exceptional backend motion for chasing the oil line in the 3rd game of a set or when an excessive amount of dry boards is playable.
BALL SPECS/ LAYOUT: Ball was 15 2oz with 2 1/4oz of topweight and a 3'-4' pin.
I'm not a driller so i won't bother with technical aspects of the actual layout - simply put, the pin was an inch above the bridge with the cg kicked a good 40 degrees. When I initially threw the ball it was way more ball than i expected/ was looking for, so i sprung for a flare decreasing weight hole that was just left of my pap. (i'll post a pic when i get a chance)
REACTION: Needless to say, with this layout, give the ball any dry boards to work with and it FLAT OUT MOVES. The carry/drive on this thing is sickening (solid 4's and 9's were in abundance). This ball has its place in ones "arsenal" but be aware of when you should and shouldn't be using this ball, when the lanes give away the pocket this ball will destroy, when accuracy is key forget about it.
CRED: I'd like to send a special shout out to Will at the Bowlers ER proshop inside River Rand Bowl in Des Plaines IL for the excellent job he did with the drilling/layout.

I throw between 18-20 mph, with medium revs, ball is OOB finish, and drilled stack lev.
The V2 sweet is a very consistant ball. No trickery here, no special needs, it will hit tight, or hit from the outside, very predictable. If I had to complain about anything it would have to be the fact that it doesn't hit all that hard. It's a solid hit, but not the type of hit that turns heads when you hit the pocket, I really thought with the cover/core combo it would devastate the pocket, it doesn't and I leave a lot of 7 pins when I roll it.
Still an overall great ball and I recommend grabbing one if you find one used in your local pro shop, it's worth the redrilling price, and should easily fit into your arsenal if you are looking for a medium oil ball.

I thought I done got a ball that hooks to much (for what I want, cause trust me I like playing deep but you can't always). So the people that was beside us left and they left the lanes on for unlimited games and I switched to them because they had some oil on them. I was standing about the center and dropping the ball about 3 boards away from the gutter and it went straight then just hooked on the backend, hits very hard and the ball is very under rated. Its just what I expected once I got to some heavier oil.
Great ball, the only problem that I have with this ball is on the dry lanes it will cut very hard on the backend and you will hit the pocket soild but leave the 9 pin alot, mostly because the ball is turning very late on the backend I suppose, but on some fresh oiled lanes this ball is very easy to control and hits quite hard, considering what the ball is rated on bowlingball.com and what I have read on review forums.
Great ball for anyone who likes to play straight with some backend or someone needing a ball that they can play straight with once the lanes get to tight to make a good shot with a dramatic hook, like me.
