    I am a stroker with med-low revs and medium to high speed. I have a 16 pound Puma Classic drilled with drilling #4 (Axis Leverage) from the Ebonite Symmetric Core Drilling Instructions and box finish (polished). This ball was drilled for medium hook and a controlled backend and that is exactly what it does. I have only used it on a typical house shot on synthetics with dry outside boards but this ball has good length, is smooth in the front part of the lane and revs up nicely in the midlane with a strong but predictable backend reaction with this drilling. I played the track area around the 2nd arrow and a little outside that. The carry was exceptional. I rolled a 703 out of the box and only had about 3 ten pins to shoot at all night. The ball is forgiving if you keep the speed soft, you can miss to the right and it will come back and carry the light mixers well. The ball is very responsive to your hand, give it that extra turn and it will respond and snap harder on the backend.

    Ball given to as a gift from my ball driller who drilled my original Puma back in 98'. All I can say is thanks a million. Finally a low rg pearl ball for the THS. I can play the track with no problems,doesn't jerk off the dry. Just a countinous roll to and through the pocket. Much more carry potential than the original due to the Trimax cover. A much needed piece missing from my current arsenal. Can be the go to ball I miss(Stinger 2Piece Pearl) when I changed weights due to wrist injury. Will probably pick up the Nitro2 to compliment the Puma.
