Has anybody ever tried it?

I won a Mission 2.0 and have always wanted to try the drilling... Good or Bad results?

When it is not recommended, why would you want to try it???

looks mild cause the mb is in the track... prolly something for high rev palyers

This drilling is not recommended because for most it will cut down the hook and backend reaction...

However for those bowlers with a lot of hand or slower ball speed ,on lighter patterns with moving backends, it's a decent drilling...

In the old days this was your basic 1:30 drilling.... Before Mo declared that "1:30 is a time of day"

On the right condition, this can be an excellent drilling...

jls is spot on here, but seems that drilling a ball like that defeats it purpose when drilling up a ball like the Hardball would accomplish the same thing and save one alittle coin. Since you got it for free your in a no lose situation so have at it as you will get average length with average backend.

The house I bowl in has a crazy dry house shot that plays really tight (3 boards max for miss)

I have tried stronger balls polished up (still hooked to much)

Weaker balls tend to jump to much for me and when I knocked the surface never could carry.

Im just at a total loss for what to do and since I have this ball I figured why not try something completely different.

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I drilled a Complete NV with this layout. It did change direction, but not very much. It worked good when I had to play out on a drier lane. If I crawled it down the lane and grabbed it a bunch it would tip more. The reason that layout is a do not drill is because for most players it would not produce good results because you need to have a lot of hand or really low ball speed. Tommy Jones uses these drillings because for him they hook more on lower volume patterns because they don't burn up so much energy

I've had two balls drilled like this. A Zone Classic and a AMF Fusion Hook Monster.

I've had good luck with this drilling on tough patterns, early games on US Open and other sport shots. On dry conditions with the Zone Classic this layout still hooks but it's a very controllable hook/arc. It's not going to jump too hard on the back end or overreact like other drillings might.

For me it comes down to core and cover versatility. Personally, I would prefer to take a ball I had a ton of confidence in and put a drilling on it I need to accomplish a particular look. However, this is all personal preference though, and if cost is a factor the Hard or Curveball both work great.
