Sweet! Thanks for the positive reply! Now I will go the next step what would be the best layout? Pin and Top weight?


Tim,
I believe my Road Hawg has about 3 oz. of top weight with about a 3 inch pin.
It is drilled label with the cg swung right about half an inch and down about
a quarter of an inch (leaving it slightly positive and thumb static weights).
Surface is box sheen.
Regards,
BowlingWolf

Drilled mine up on Saturday. Used my stock layout which is pin under ring
which is about 5 in. from my pap. I never throw anything in box, so I put my
base finish on which is clean and smooth, then magic shine. For comparison
sake I threw against my RSP which has the same surface prep and drilling, Road
Hawg was earlier, and easily five to six boards stronger on the back. Threw
last night in  league, changed surface to 2000 abralon, then magic shine.
Ball pushed farther, then made a strong move to the hole. With this surface,
I was able to use for the entire set. I know scores do not matter, had
749 with it, with two stone 8 pins thrown in for good luck.
I would to love to throw this ball with a stronger pin position, are you listening, Dave?

Picked mine up last night, but didn't get to throw it until today in league.  Well I threw it for 2 frames, both splits.  The ball hooks a ton, and the lane conditions were well Urethane Ball material.

I have mine drilled (lefty) with the pin to the upper left of the ring finger, the CG stacked below inbetween the thumb and fingers, with an X-Hole punched in the side.

It hooked a ton, and the shots I threw in practice that came close to the hole destroyed the rack.  I'm looking forward to throwing it on Friday where there is actually some oil on the lanes.  I hope it does what I think it's going to do!!
