That makes sense to me. I'd almost believe Scorpion too but Shark makes sense. Like I said before, Viper should hook from the outside, no matter what.
Always have a "in case of extremes, break glass" ball on the oiler side and on the dry side just in case.
Lesson learned about bringing all my equipment, and leaving home any disbelief. For grins, see the difference below with the same two shots one board apart w/ the same ball on Scorpion. Unlike Shark's 8 boards difference at the pins because of the out-of-bounds, only a fraction of a board difference with Scorpion, as it should be. Note this is not the ball I would likely use or the line I would likely play on Scorpion. I am just showing the difference in the ball reaction between the two patterns. Shark is like a golf course with water hazards. It is not unplayable, but it helps to know the location of the puddles, and to have the right equipment to fit it in between.
