Drilling 4x4x2 pin ended up right next to ring finger.
before I start my review I would like to share with you that the perfect scale on this ball is wrong (213.9). I have a victory Road drilled 5x3 with pin above fingers (perfect scale 185.5) that will out hook this ball by 3 boards and keep in mind the VR has over 50 games on it. So if the VR has a PS of 185.5 then the Pearl Panther should be rated around 150. So do not buy this ball if you like to cover a lot of boards. O.K. now to the review.

I went with the 4x4x2 layout so I would have a step up from my Victory Road in that it would read the mids better. That is not what I got, had to start the ball in the dry to get it to read at all. I ended up playing 8 board at the arrows with at most a 1 or 2 board swing. I have not been able to play a shot like this since reactive resin was introduced. In contrast stood 3 boards right (left handed) playing just inside 2nd arrow (so to not get it in the dry to soon) with the Victory Road. So by now probably wandering why 4 stars. Well I said it didn't hook but it I never said it didn't hit or perform.
I would rate the hook-5, hit and carry-9.5. After throwing this ball I wounder what the SOS looks like going down the lane. So to rap this review up it was not what I expected it to be, but any ball that can mow down pins like this ball (after I got lined up) will find a place in my bag just not above the Victory Road but below it.

Overall if you don't mind playing the dirt you will love this ball, If you love to cover a lot of board you will hate it.

Drilled 5x3 2 1/2" pin buffer



THS medium in length and freshly oiled first this ball is 3 boards stronger than my Gravity Shift (4x4 2" pin buffer). Witch is the problem I drilled this ball to fit under the Gravity Shift and it end up a lot stronger. Right now my Gravity Shift is my bench mark ball and the 2D ended up stronger than I wanted it to this is way I only give it a 4 rating. But to the review the 2D is vary strong off the dry yet predictable great carry but on THS it forced me inside my comfort zone. So great ball but it looks like I will get little use out of it and be using the Gravity Shift and look for something else to fit under it.

nice looking bag and rolls real easy but I just don't know how much they try out their bags before they decide on the final product this leads to my major complaint of the bag there is nothing holding the balls in place in the bottom compatment witch causes the ball to get damaged by rolling around and also the bag to tip over if both balls shift forward. all they had to do is add a simple strap or ball cups but there is nothing.

I drilled this ball with the #5 drilling hoping to get a ball a step down from my gravity shift with a 4x4 with 2" pin buffer. What I got was a ball that covered just as many board but hit much better. I shot 258 258 224 740 with it first time I through it. I recommend a weak drilling and box finish for you THS with this ball because I would not want it to be any stronger.
