Both the code of honor and gb2 are both out of the box finish. The gb2 is drilled pin below the bridge slightly higher than pin palm. Similar weight hole and cg location as code of honor. For me the gb2 rolls earlier and doesn't have a drastic backend. It reads the midlanes and makes a smooth backend motion that is smooth and not jumpy. The code of honor gets more length, doesn't respond to the midlane to quick, and once it makes it's turn, it an aggressive turn. It isn't a strong snap, it's more of a smooth continuous backend, pretty smooth. I have thrown this on dry a couple of times and it tends to burn up, it need oil to hook.
