I do, and I just got it drilled up today. I'm going to use it for the first time on Thursday evening in league. I might practice tomorrow however, if I can get the chance. Hope it's as good as the raves it has been receiving indicate it will be.

This is awesome that more and more bowlers are buying this ball.  I'm picking up Doom #4 tomorrow from the shop.  I got my 4th one drilled strong just like my Doom #3 but will leave this one in box condition.

This leaves me with 2 Dooms in box condition and 2 polished with Ebonites matte polish.  These 4 will cover everything I will see except for totally super dry lanes which I don't bowl on much anyways.

i got my doom a few weeks ago. it's drilled 6" pin from pap at 55 degrees leaving the MB 4" from pap. The ball is amazing when the lanes have broken down some. Tonight I had to use my Road Hawg since the Doom was too over/under with all the carry down. I bet I could have moved in though away from the wall with slower speed. I might get another Doom in the near future to fill the gap between my Road Hawg and current Doom. I think something drilled stronger will give me more control and not so much flip. Great ball!


Another Doom would fit that slot well.  This is what I did to tame that over under you get on some lanes.  I had a Doom drilled stacked leverage.  I had the balance hole put on my mid line and 1" past my pap.  I had the x-hole drilled out 1" diameter and 2.5" deep this brought the positive side weight down to zero.  Then I dulled the surface down to 600 grit and brought it back up to 1000 grit(dull)  Then I polished it with Ebonites matte polish.  This stuff worked great.  It really cured the over under problem and smoothed out the break point perfectly.  This is my favorite Doom right now.  Very controllable and can handle a lot of conditions.

I'm really interested in that ebonite matte finish stuff. I think i'm gonna grab a bottle of that stuff and try it. I'm kinda worried about changing the surface too much because of how well it works on broken down conditions. it's just perfect. i'll try it though anyways.


That's why you need another Doom.  Keep one in box conditionand the other drill strong and dull it down to take the factory polish off and reploish it with the matte polish.  This would make a great 2 ball combo.  With that matte polish you can say good by to over under reations.  Plus the layout change would just help it solve that problem even more.

I own 2, now.

One drilled 5.5x 5 for clean backends, and another one a little stronger, drilled 4.5 x 4.
