    I Drillled the pin out on my ring finger and kept the mass bias ant 70 degrees.... the ball is so clean threw the heeads its to easy ... u can see the ball start to transiton in th midlane... and it has alot of backend movement and tons of angle.. but its very readable... witch is very haed to find these day with other products... ebonit has a winner with this balll... they really have got it going on in Hopkinsville.... hahah i guess its in the water :)... well anyways... i would recomend this ball to anyone that wants something to clear the heads ... and still recover stong .... and u will still be able to judge and read the balll........ BOWL TO WIN..... BOWL WITH EBONITE

    I never recommend bowling balls to individuals but i tend to through alot of different balls from different manufacturers. This ball is probably the best on any house shot or heave oil shot of any ball if ever thrown. My angular one was almost identical to this one with the exception that the one kept cracking between the bridge. !!!! I recommend this ball to everyone with a tweeners hand or even low rev. If your a cranker i hope you have alot of speed because this ball is strong.!!! My NVS is stronger but at the same time this ball doesnt slide in oil it will still hook my NVS slides alot through oil but the flips on the dry boards.!!!!

    This ball has been out for a few months now and I finally got around to drilling mine up and immedatley became my go to ball when the backends dry up a little its very clean through the heads and is just a great all around ball and would definalty recommend this ball to anyone who like a smooth arc on the lanes with hitting power that just shreads the rack without doing a great deal to the ball. I can add or take hand out and this ball rolls great either way and does not change the hitting power of the ball.

    I decided to drill a Raid because I liked the coverstock. Its the same cover that was on the Ebonite Angular One. I drilled this one with the pin above my ring finger, cg kicked out about an inch or so and the mass bias right next to my thumb hole. My PAP is 4 3/4" right and 1/2" up. The first time I used the Raid was on a fresh house shot during one of my leagues at Executive Strike and Spare. The shot is pretty easy but carry can be troublesome sometimes. I started playing the Raid at my normal shot which is about 25 out to about 10 and this ball had a great reaction. It would clear the heads nicely and pick up alot of revs entering the midlane where it would make its read and then unleashed all its enrgy on the backend. The energy it delivered to the pins was excellent and it kept the pins low on the deck. Light hits seemed to carry well as did shots that ran a little high. Overall I was pretty impressed with the Raid. I really wasn't expecting much out of the Raid.
