I drilled this ball with the pin and cg stacked under my ring finger with no extra hole. The pin on this ball was approx 3" which put the Cg just above my thumb. To compensate for the additional thumb weight this created, I drilled the fingers deeper to get the thumb weight to zero.
I used this layout to give me a skid/flip reaction for use on shorter oil patterns and on house shots as they break down. My Theory is drilled in a similar manner. Recently in league, my Theory was too strong for the fresh oil, so I used the dagger for the 3 games. The polished, hybrid cover, provided the extra length I needed yet still gave me a strong, controlled move off the break point. Like all medium to strong reactive balls, getting the Dagger onto the friction too early caused an earlier move off the break.
The Nomad line, with surface alterations as needed, will provide the bowler a nice 3 ball arsenal to work with on medium to short patterns.
