I hated The One so I bought the....

Big One.  I posted when I first drilled The One that I could not consistently score (score at all really) and didn't care for the ball.  Pin under ring finger MB right of thumb about 2 inches.  So I put the ball up.  I just drilled the Big One (because I liked the surface) but drilled it with the pin below and to the right of the ring finger about 3/4 in both directions and MB below.  I only shot one set with the ball but I think this is going to be a great ball for me on medium, medium/heavy and longer oil conditions.

So I plugged The One and drilled it very similar to the Big One and took it to a house that was freshly oiled (very dry house regardless) back ends flying so\me hold down and in on the 13.  I threw The One standing on332 throwing itthrough 17 out to 8 and the ball just rolled out/burned up/lost all its energy.  I don't mean this as a bad thing because it was very evident that whats as happening.  Moved left even further played 36 over 19 out to about 13 and it had enough skid to reatin energy to crush the pocket.  but I had to be consitent. (I'm never consitent).

So I'm going to try The One agin on a little more/longer oil and see if the new drilling will work better.

The One didn't work for me, so I had it redrilled. It still didn't work, and left terrible splits. I might try the Big One, but by the time I can afford it, the Big Two will be all the rage among rich ebonite overenthusiasts.

Look for me in the upcoming PBA Tour! I'll be the guy in the back row with the foam finger singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the 7th inning.

well regardless to say The One isn't for drier lanes w/ dry backends. Have you tried using it on more of a med-heavy condition lanes?
