    I will post a picture of the layout later when I get home so you can see - your pin is a little hard to see - blends in with the rest of the red. Mine is definitely pin up though.

    Have you tried playing more in? More towards 3rd arrow-15 board to start and then adjust as the night goes on? I used to play 10 board with my prior equipment, but with this ball I moved to stay in oil longer and it helps a ton. LIke I have said before, totally revamped the way I play and look at the lanes.

    So you are saying you stand left and throw it over the 3rd arrow balls goes out to ??? (in between 2nd and 1st arrow I assume) and then back into the pocket?

    I played around with 3rd arrow when I first got it but not typically my kind of shot. If the ball, oil, my mechanics are all cooperating I am shooting 1 board left of the second arrow, straight down the lane and in the pocket.

    Here is a video I put together awhile back.

    http://youtu.be/5dKh-CDN0bM

    Shows some lines I was throwing during some practice sessions last summer. Some lines the break point was between 5 and 8, others I kept it inside with a break of 11-12 or so. I usually don't need a breakpoint outside of 10, this ball loves the oil.

    Looking at your picture I see the pin now directly above the ring finger - mine is slightly different layout - just to the left and above the ring finger:

    Interesting. I will have to try moving right a little more and use the 3rd arrow from the other side to see if I can throw it that way. It would definitely be a game changer. Looks like for the most part you are throwing over the 3rd arrow and coming out to the 2nd arrow back in. I will let you know how it goes. Could be what I am missing trying to throw this ball. Thanks for the tip.

    Tried 3rd arrow in a rare practice yesterday and despite inconsistency in my shooting through 2 games I like the option of moving far right and shooting the 3rd arrow. Going to incorporate it into my game starting tonight.
