I use mine all the time. IMO, the reason people have trouble with this ball is the layout. Again, IMO, way to many folks went with #1 drill when that was/is NOT the best layout for them.
I have drilled 14 since they came out and *knocks on wood* not one have had problems with the ball. Only drilled 2 #1 layouts and will be drilling the next one on Monday, if the guy can get the day off, if not then it's Tues ( he also wants #1, for what it's worth.
My wife also uses hers 2 out of the 3 game set, usually drops back to her trusty V2 Sanded for the third gam, but has learned the ball more so it's a toss up at times which one she uses.
I'm not knocking folks for staying with #1, but it's hard for me to believe that one layout fits everyone, if it worked that way, ..oh well, I'm done.
