How will this ball fair on light oil conditions or on short oil(34')patterns? How would you suggest drill for these conditions?
Thanks for your replies!

I am getting one and planning on drilling it with a 50x4x60 layout. I am banking on this being really good on shorter oil patterns considering it will have a really controllable reaction when it hits friction.

So I have now thrown the Venom Strike on 4 different oil patterns. A very light oil house shot, a beast of a pattern called the Brunswick Phantom, the Kegel Route 66 and another typical house shot.
So far, this ball is one of my strongest. When I was throwing on the longer patterns, it was the only ball that would wrinkle. On the house shots, it tore up the lane. It hooks more than the 2Cruel that I got at the same time.

Well, lol. I was sliding about into the gutter, around the 38 board, crossing around 21 at the arrows and the break point was like 8ish and the ball turned like a monster.
Oh, as a matter of fact, here is a video to show what the Venom can do:

Hmmm,that might be to much ball for 34'-38' pattern? My ball speed is 15-16 and I about 250 revs. I normally play straight up 7-10 board. It will be on the maybe list!
