screwed.... I've been checking into the Power Machine by Track... From the info I've read on the ball specs it appears to be a good ball. Have you heard anything on this ball?
Also, after looking at the drill patterns I thinking either drill pattern #1 or # 2, leaning towards #2 though or a modification there of... between #1 & #2...... I think I would want to get this ball with medium top weight before drilling.
What are your thoughs, if any?

Drilled my No Mercy last night... threw it about 6 or 8 times... then went home and iced down my shoulder... lol
It hooks... and finishes good... I don't rip the cover off the ball so it should be ok for me...
Tech had layed out a new drill method for me called off set grip line or somehting like that.. it keeps me from tearing up the sides of my fingers.... Jimbo used that technique znd it fits really well...
See how it "thunders" tonight @ Armadilla I.

I have a Columbia Scout, a Beast Master (it's purple and a "solid" cover stock) and some other stuff, I can't remember off hand. If I remember, I'll load it up in my truck and bring it up next Monday night and let you have what you want. Also, once I get a replacement ball for my Blade, I'll probably give it to you, because you done such wonderful work and lay outs on my newer stuff.....does that sound cool?

That sounds fine, I am not to picky lol. I went through the vault last night and found 3 old 15# balls. I found my old tpc warrior that I shot 868 with but it didnt survive the long winters down here and has cracked in several places lol. That leaves me with a Mo rich hercules and track EMB x/f. Now I dont know if I am going to go with the new modified grip that has been the suspected cause of my ring finger pain at times or if I will be going with the old grip that I had when throwing 15# stuff. The main thing is to not tear up my fingers or thumb and still be able to get out of the ball with out loseing it off my hand. A few practice games with the old stuff will help me decide.
On a side note jeff I laid your ball out tuesday before I left and gave you a stacked leverage layout. This is pretty much the most flare and dynamic shape to the pocket I could give you. From what I understood you were telling me is flare with some pop through the pocket, well this is the layout but not sure about you wanting it for carry down but we will see. This layout usualy opens the lane up on medium patterns. Call Jimbo and see if its ready to pick up and you can maybe swing by there tonight and try it when you bowl at ARM I tonight.

Yes, that is what I was wanting. I'll swing by after work and see if Jimbo has it ready. I may even call him earlier in the day, so he'll be sure to do it. If it's ready, I'll give it a try at Arm I tonight. I think the pop though the pocket finish and flare, will help a lot with the carry but we will see.
