    Neither of your pics loaded but out in the country all I have is a slow internet connection. The only thing I miss from the city, high speed internet.

    I'm looking at the ball right now and it's how you said
    O O *
    O

    the dv8 logo engraved that Bill was talking about I found,
    it's near the white dot


    it's like this

    O O
    *
    (**) ** = dv8 sign,
    O

    the picture is exaggerated, the dv8 sign is really small but it's a little left of the white dot

    about 2 inches or so down from the white dot and about 1/4 of an inch to the left

    Given the information supplied, in my opinion, the ball is drilled for neither. Given the pin to CG I don't think that layout would work for anybody BUT it was clearly intended for a right handed bowler.

    I'll just about agree with this.

    With that short of a pin to cg distance,That is what's called a "Pin in" ball. With where it's located it really wouldn't matter if you were a righty or a lefty.

    I'll go as far as saying that it's might be a lefty drill. Because I had a ball like that one time, "Pin in". Layed out like this (I'm a righty by the way. it was my dry lane ball)

    ----cg

    ----O

    So this could be a lefty layout

    Just remembered I had a pic of my old ball. It was about a 1 1/2" - 2" pin
