I drilled the Dark Star exactly the same as my Riot. 50/5/70.
I wanted to drill the two balls the same to see just how different the Pearl and Solid versions of the Ultimate Vision coverstocks are. I was shocked how different they really were. When using the Riot I still had to play inside the track area, but when I changed to the Dark Star I was able to move left and actually play in the track, which is something I haven't been able to do with any ball I have drilled in a long time. Even though the Dark Star is designed to be a little more skid/flippy in nature, with this pin below the fingers layout, most of the flip was gone. Although it was still evident, it wasn't overly strong off the spot, which I like. I have really struggled with the lower end Roto Grip bowling balls, i.e. the planet series, I have yet to struggle with either the Riot or the Dark Star.
Great job yet again guys.
