Pretty cool winning a few balls :)

Have you drilled these balls up yet? If not...

Before we can give a range of usable layouts, we need some basic info such as:
Ball speed off hand
Approximate Rev rate
Axis tilt
Axis rotation

I have a couple of ideas in mind but need these specs first :)
Stats:
Right handed
Pap is 4 3/4 x 3/8 up currently
Speed around 16.5 off hand
Tilt in the 14-16* range
Rev rate: around 325 - 350 or so
Axis rotation in the 25-70* range

piranaha has been drilled very strong (almost hard to keep it right of the pocket!) haven't drilled the street fight yet, will be doing that next week can't get to specific with specs because i have never known the exact numbers but i am a one handed right handed bowler and have a slower ball speed of 13 mph on the monitor and a medium rev rate axis rotation is 50-70 degrees and a lower axis tilt. i play like a cranker most of the time (high backswing ,stand pretty far left)
