I had a Rattler drilled up for our City Tournament, but sadly I was mistaken on the dates, so I had my driller down state ship it to me too late to use for what would count as my All Events Score. However, I got it in time to possibly use it for my second set of singles and doubles, which was last night. I decided to go with the Rattler due to the Activator Cover, which is my favorite cover, from my old favorite ball the Ultimate Inferno.
I used it for the first time in Doubles and shot 231, 234, 215 -680 and liked the reaction I was seeing. I went with a pin down below the ring layout with the cg angled out to the left w/ a small x-hole. I left it at box surface, because I had no idea what to expect out of it
After doubles, we switched pair for singles, and we got the bad draw and had to bowl on 1 and 2. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

268, 266, 279 -813. My first ever 800 with a ball I'd never thrown before! I won Scratch Singles and Handicap Singles (825) and a side event that cost $10 to get in, highest scratch total takes all. Obviously I am very excited. The last game I had the front 9 and got a little fast and smoked a 7 pin (lefty) and I thought I had to make it to shoot 800, but I didn't
I haven't been a fan of Brunswick for a long time, and mostly throw Hammer, but the Rattler enticed me with the Activator at a good price!
I just wanted to share my good news with my fellow bowlers
