    Well it will make for a very long night due to all the ball return calls.

    Also a ball that is 10% larger in diameter, would be 21% larger in volume, and therefore weight.

    Your 15 lb ball would become 18

    Speaking of smash 9 pins, I drilled up a C-300 Scout to see if I can keep even the weakest resin ball on the lane.

    I had to line up against the ball return, launch the ball out to 3 board, and left back to back smash 9 pins with a 14 lb ball.

    Guess my next experiment will be reverting back to a conventional grip.

    Next experiment is going back to rubber and no core.

    This is like those goofy tennis rackets with the extra large head. Or the "bonus" on the Mario games, where Mario gets really big and smashes everything in sight. I can just see all these giant balls rumbling down the lanes and getting caught under the pinsetter... While merry video game music plays over and over and over and over and over and over again. If Storm made these balls, they'd smell like barbecue, 'cause they're as big as Texas.

    I ain't drillin a rubber ball, they STINK when sanded or drilled.

    Even the old 80's Hammer smelled odd when in a Haas machine.

    I guess you could drill up a 900 global Moxie conventional. Maximum Bob tossed a 300 with one drilled conventional a little while back
