OK, i just bought this ball, Monday night and Used it for one game and some practice, during the night. I got the balled drilled up with the Storm Layout #1 with the Pin abover the fingers, and the Mass Bias, in a strong pos. close to my PAL line. And it is sanded with 600 grit, to make it cut through the oil. It also has a small side hole 1 inch away from the eye of the storm. I threw some practice shots with this ball when i got it drilled up befor my Monday night league, and it really reacts, nicely, and really hooks on the conditions it was used on, the house uses a phoneix machine, 30ft oil buffed to 35, outside 10 oily, with sandpaper backends. This ball well hooked like crazy on the fresh oil lol, although it did make it down the lane nicely, but hooked way too much, i was playing 20 to 10 sometimes 5 and still had too much hook, so it went in the bag, lol. But i did use the ball for the whole 3rd game because, where my Trauma starts to get squirly in the carry down, i gave the Trauma ER a go to see how it would do, and it did actually really good, once i found the line, it still hooked a ton, and hit with lots of power, and had lot of recovery room, but watch out if you miss left! But i really dont know what to rate this ball, but i will give it another review on 9/26/01 when i use it for the league i had it drilled for.
