    Get her some roses,chocolates and take her for a nice romantic dinner. Hopefully this will soften the blow when you tell her your going to use your present before christmas.

    Put it in a box with a lid. Wrap the lid separately from the box. Put a nice bow on the lid. After each time you use the ball, put it in the box and put it under the tree.

    Let me say I hope a balance hole can calm down alot of hook.

    Freshly drilled I threw this ball and it turns and keep on turning... threw my old ball and slid 20 at the line, ball over 10 at the arrows to come back up on the pocket.
    Misfit 30 at the line and had to push it over 16 at the arrows to stay right of the headpin.

    Proshop is drilling in a balance hole today and we'll see how it goes.

    Any suggestions on surface change if that doesn't take enough out of the ball?

    Perrin, what is your ball speed? I just bowled against a guy in league that has a misfit and his ball speed was very low and since he throws it so slow it hooks more than my marauder madness! Do you throw alot of revs?
