Well I just ordered my...

How should I get it drilled?  I want to use this ball when the oil machine clogs up and strips the oil off the lane but doesn't lay any fresh oil down (or very little).  It doesn't happen often, but when it does happen, all of my label leverage drilled particle balls hook out of the house even when I flamethrow the ball down the lane.  Check out my profile and let me know what you suggest.

Thanks

Hi Sir Bowl,
Your span is almost the same as mine. I'm 6'-2" and 215lbs. I roll at about 15-16 mph. My PAP is similar to yours also. 5-1/4" over 1/4" up. I have two of these. One drilled 4 x 4 and one drilled 5.5" x 4". Obviously the stacked ball is much stronger. But I love the one drilled for earlier roll. It allows me to add or subtract hand as needed to get the corners out. Translation= carry. It usually sends pins flying all over the place, depending on the amount of side roll, or hit I apply at the release point. Of course it's your choice. But this is just a tidbit to get you thinking on what drilling you might actually like. The stronger piece is good also, but as lanes transition, I find I actually have to move with the transition in order to carry effectively. Hope this helps.
