ok i couldn't wait any longer, so i got it punched up today. probley the first ball i mapped out using my PAP which is 3 1/4 if i remember correctly. i went with the control drilling on the layout sheet. weight hole on PAP. thrown on freshly oiled house shot, probley around 38ft. ball is very smooth and easy to read. low flaring, continuous hooking arc motion. very cool looking going down the lane. impressive hit. really going to put it so the test here soon. might make a video tonight. ball has weird patch of black that some say looks like a trans am bird, man, or alien thing. im very pleased with this ball and layout.

I wasn't able to get an Archon or Paragon, but I did get the Ravage VI from bowlingball.com.  Had it drilled 5 x 4, pin up.  Hope to throw it tonight.

I like mine, but it wasn't as forgiving on tugged shots tonight.  It also wasn't tripping the 4 pin like it was last week either.
