The GB11.2 cover finished at 500/2000 is the strongest GB2 of the series thus far.  This ball is excellent for medium to heavier oil patterns.  With my rev rate I need all the help I can get on those slicker conditions, and this ball gives it to me. It revs up nicely off my hand and creates a smooth but strong ball motion.  The real surprise was how hard it hit the pins.  Where other GB 2 products leave some weak 10 pins for me on small misses to the right, the Phenom cuts those 10 pins down. This piece is fun to throw.
