Yes as a matter of fact it will. I just got a younger bowler into one of these. His primary ball has been the Widow Pearl, which as you may already know is to erratic. He got a heck of a deal on it, I chose the ball and the drill and he had to take a lesson from me once it was done and he didn't pay anything.. good deal I'd say. Anyway to make a long story short, I watched him struggle the other night to a 180 and a 175 and finally couldn't take it anymore. I got him to move out to 10, switch up to the vibe and Voila! 239 with a middle frame open. The Vibe overall is similar in boards covered, maybe a few less, it certainly rolls a little quicker, but is smoother off the break. It is not to say that it is weak on the break though. I think it really would be a better benchmark ball than anything and thats even with a length drilling. That said I think it also compliments as a lower end piece. It can hook less with less surface, or a lot more with more surface but for what you want it for, in box condition with a length drill, you should be able to use it as a nice later shot ball, BUT it won't be a true entry level type reaction. Its not weak, but it is a great piece, just drill it for what you really want it to do. You want length drill it for it, you want it to roll, the drill it for that, I think you could make it work for anything but the TRUE extremes. For really heavy oil, with it truely dulled with a roll drill it might actually get it done!
