I punched up a few new pieces today preparing for when the dr lets me return
Gold Rhino Pro 75x5.75c80 @2000 + polish (pin under middle finger)
Mastermind Intellect 60x6x40 @2000 + polish (pin over middle finger)
Diva Pearl 65x4.5x70 OOB (pin under ring)
Forza GT 55x5x40 OOB (pin over ring)
Wisdom 65x5x65 @ 2000 + polish (pin under bridge)
Yeti Untamed 60X 5.5x40 @ 3k + polish (pin over bridge)
Taboo spare 60x5.5x40 OOB (pin over bridge)
Now it's just waiting for the dr's ok.I do fear that the Forza GT and Teti Untamed may be too strong of balls for where I'm bowling

Wow, 7 new drilled balls
Looks like a nice selection, that should hopefully cover just about any conditions you come across. I think I would be too tired to bowl after lugging all of them to the bowling center ! lol

Shop at home? Does this mean you're no longer in the pro shop at the center? And when did you stop using so much Motiv stuff? You were one of the firsts I kow of using Motiv regularly.

I've been out of the center for 3+ years now. The owners decided to close their shop and rent the space out. I still have a bunch of Motiv stuff I use but also havea a bunch of 900 Global asymetrics.I drilled the Intellect with a layout I wanted to experiment with as I picked it up off ebay for $10.50

That's great to know you got yours already. I hope to have the Viral Solid I won soon so I can get it drilled before league starts. If I like it enough I might even have my PSO order the hybrid to go with it.

Came today. Maybe I'm a little to excited for a lower mid performance ball, but based on the conditions at the center I bowl at and some of the changes to my game over the last few months, it should be a really useful ball on league night. I have some balls for heavier oil in my arsenal, but they almost never see the light of day lately.

The Viral Hybrid has the lowest hook rating of all my equipment. Don't know how I'm going to have it punched up. Most likely a pin down drilling but maybe not.

Likewise X2. I take the ratings off the site with a grain of salt, but it is rated just a tad lower than my Storm Ride. However, it has a lower RG and higher differential so I expect it to pick up a little earlier and the backend shape to be different. My center has been really dry all summer, so we will just have to see how things are this season.

Adding 2 more next week. I picked up a Primal Rage in a trade. I'm plugging it right now and will be drilling it 60x5x30. I also ordered a Forza Redline from my distributer off their closeout list. Will be drilling it 60x5.5x40
