I had an old Raspberry Ninja with the pin 2" from my PAP. It was almost a pin axis drill.

Ball was extrely smooth throughout the lanes. Smooth through the heads, smooth thru the mids, smooth on the backends. However, it tended to be condition specific. To much oil, a ton of washouts. Too dry, a ton of flat tens in the gutter....even when you knew you threw a good shot!

I eventually got rid of it because it was only a tournament ball.

The flare rings on this ball were fairly tight, even though there were many of them, when compared to a ball drilled 5" or more from PAP. Might have been the same number of rings, but bunched together.
