I have my evolve drilled up pin directly in between the fingers with the CG kicked about 1.5" off the thumb. I have that drilling on my NV, NVS, The ONE, The ONE Pearl, The INFINITE ONE. I also have a Track UPrising drilled similarly to all my ebonite balls I simply move the CG position but basically all the same.
I am 23 years old I've been bowling since I was about 6 I have 3 800's and 5 300's and I bowl in three leagues with my lowest average last year being 213 and my highest being 225. I have basically used ebonite balls since the Apex line and I am sad to say this will be the last ebonite ball I purchase. Direct from ebonite's website they say

basically they have come up with a cover stock that is 4000 rough that goes very long and has strong backend, however this is far from the truth. Under ideal conditions it may very well do that but week to week in three differant houses this ball is anything but predictable. I get massive over under on identical shots and no change in the cover stock helps. Originally I had problems with the ball "burning up" in the front and not finishing very strong moving around searching for differant lines to the pocket didn't help so I polished up the ball to save some of the energy. That didn't work so I went the other way brought it down to 2000 and left it rough hoping to make it continuous and predictable again no avail bringing it down to 2000 didn't help at all. I used this ball for about 30-36 games and averaged around 200 in all three leagues.
I also bought a PLAYMAKER at the same time to give me a good range ball for a dryer condition and the ball is Phenomenal.
Ebonite get your stuff together you used to make quality equipment now you make trash, I want my money back.

My pro shop recommended it and I read the info at ebonybowling.com. It was all a bunch of crap.
I currently average 214 and am happy with all of my equipment and that includes ebonite. I thought I would try something new so I tried the Evolve, based on my pro shop. I later realized, after newly moving to the area, that pro mean nothing. This ball hits weakly and is nothing special. I should have listened to the reviews that I read around the internet from reliable websites.
Ebony is in a desperate way and this ball shows it, is this a Deal with a new color and name?
I have had mine warrantied twice, the last time, I DEMANDED to switch to another type of ball.
Steer clear of this ball and you will be glad you did.

I have used the ball on several house patterns and the backend continuation is awesome. No matter if I am playing down and in or able to move into the lane and belly the ball - I get an aggressive drive to the pins on the backend. Some equipment will loose its energy and deflect right after hitting the pins, but that is certainly not the case with the Evolve.
I have also noticed that the Evolve's XL1000 coverstock does just what it was designed to do - reduction in oil absorption. After using the ball for about 12 games I still have the tacky feel to the coverstock. This is usually not the case with other 4000 sanded abralon balls.
My compliments to the R&D Department at Ebonite for a job well done!!

This ball's factory finish was too much for me, I couldn't get it to finish at all (Drilled Stack Leverage over the fingers {pattern #2 slightly modified}). Took it home, put it on my spinner and sanded it down to 1200 grit with a touch of the Factory Finish polish on it and WOW!!! This ball is the most versital ball I have now. Not only can I tween it, I can play inside (deep) too!
I have been using Ebonite balls for over 10 years now and personally think they are still the best. My Matrix Dominator still rocks the racks like it was new.
The next purchases I need to make will be the NVD (if I can find one still) and the Mission... Have to replace a couple dinosaurs.
I do agree with the recommendations to take this ball down a few thousand grit.

and i was astonished about how fast and smooth this ball is in the back-end compared to my other ball (raw hammer anger)
however, i didnt get much pin action, but that is because as soon as my ball hit, the pins were gone in a heartbeat.
but overall its a great ball that i highly recommend if your going to be bowling on slick lanes
