I am getting a Revolt Vengeance to fit between my Jackal and my Sigma Sting.

The Jackal is too strong for my normal house shot right now, but will be great if I see more oil at tournaments.  The Sting at box finish can go through the break point sometimes, but is fairly angular and great when things start to open up.

Since I play the left side, I can get away with no more than 2 strike balls plus a spare ball for most 3 game sets and rarely see the heads dry out.  So the plan for my normal house is for the Vengeance to be first ball out followed by the Sting if I start leaving corners.  I would like these balls to be fairly close on a house shot with the Sting going just a bit cleaner and semi-angular at the breakpoint.

The Sting layout is about 50 x 4.5 x 40 with a small p3 hole - which puts the pin less than an inch above my ring finger.  If I am looking for the Vengeance to be slightly stronger and more controlled on the fresh house shot, I am thinking I want the VAL angle bigger (lower pin) right? 

Here's the main question:  I really like the idea of drilling out the pin for the ring finger (40 x 4.5 x 50 p3), but is the Vengeance different enough from the Sting for me to use this layout and still see the difference between balls that I want?  Has anyone out there had both of these balls?  Thanks!

The drilling Angie means nothing in a symmetrical ball. It's the accommodating hole placement that's makes a difference.

For me, the Vengeance is a nice step up from the Sigma Sting. I have mine drilled the same way and it's perfect when the Sigma Sting labors to get back to the pocket.

How are your Vengeance & Sting drilled?   pin location ... cg location ... etc.

Both are drilled the same.  Pin 1 inch above ring finger with the cg stacked directly below with no balance hole. My PAP is 5 over with 0 up/down. Both balls have 3 inch pins and very close to 3 Oz of top weight before drilling.

I can play pretty much straight up the boards with easy length through the heads with a nice controlled move into the pocket at the end of the pattern or I can change hand position and move inside and swing them effectively.

I had back surgery this past Friday, so am out of bowling until early November. I will probably have to return to 12# balls again when I start back and if so, the Vengeance is at the top of my list if the Rage isn't available in 12# and the drilling I am thinking about is close to what you say yours is. I will have to find a second ball under the Vengeance or Rage to give me a great 1-2 punch like the Scream and Thrash Frenzy did when I started back with 12# balls in Dec of 2013. Those 2 balls were the best 1-2 combo I have ever had in any brand.

My only worry about the Vengeance is it's low differential of .030 in 12# as I have never fared well with low differential balls.
