It is a great ball, but I love the Ogre line, just a great Line for me.

OK for everyone interested, I finally got My Mixed Breeds drilled. I will start another topic for
the solid. Anyway drilled per Jason 5.5" pin the V is 4.5" from Thumb and as you see in picture the Wt hole.
 
I got to league early last night to try all the balls out. 
 
Mixed Breed Pearl was interesting at first, out of box finish, bowling on a blended 39' pattern.
Less volume in the middle a little more 10 board to 2 board. I started out standing 35 laying down 20 out 
to about 12. Ball checks up early around 30-35 ft and goes thru the beak, threw a couple more same thing.
So I moved right in to the oil, laying ball around 18 out to 6. BAM! ball comes back perfect, threw a few more and same results, ball needs oil even in shiny finish at least on this pattern. I am excited to try on more volume, I tried to start with it in league but the ball just was to strong, I was going around everyone else so  I knew the track would be burned up pretty quick.
I really like what I see so far and the ball seems really strong! Link to pics of layout below.

its been about 3 weeks now with the pearl...  I couldn't be happier, this ball is just a absolute beast.
 
Sadly the volume of oil I am seeing week to week has decreased.  After the first game its back in the bag for the pearl as I just cant keep it right of the head pin.
 
Did I drill it too strong.. possible, but I have no regrets.

 This is the issue so many of us have in that league conditions don't allow us to use this kind of equipment.  Hence I haven't even considered using or buying a Mixed Breed ball.   Too bad so sad.

I usually see enough oil.

Last night, I added finger grips and the It thumb to my Frankie May Gryphon. I think I will take it with me to Baton Rogue in July.

Gonna get the Mixed Breed Pearl sometime before then.
