Have had my PR for a while now and decided to post a quick review. It is drilled 5x3. It has been my go to ball in my PBA Experience league. I have used it on the Shark, Viper, US Open, and Scorpion patterns so far. The PR gives me a very good mid-lane read and a strong backend reaction. The stand-out point for the Perfect Rival is the continuation it gives me. It has really excelled in reading all the patterns. It truly is a ball I can use 80% of the time.
The only issue I have ran into is at times it reads the mid-lanes too much. Which is usually around the 4th game of the 3-man league. I actually have learned to deal with the looks of the ball too.
Overall, it is one of the better balls for my game I have thrown and will be disappointed when I have to retire it. If you liked the original Rival you will love the PR.
