What do you like about the....
« on: March 28, 2005, 02:47:57 AM »
XXcel ,Absolute Inferno, Rule GP2, Hybrid Dirty  (or the original DB) and the Vertigo. I cant seem to make up my mind (too many bowling balls, too little money). I know the AI, HDB, and DB prolly cant compete with the others in heavy oil but, based on your experiences, what do you guys like about their reaction shape, durability, and just the overall ball? Looking to get a ball for medium-heavy with a strong midlane read and just as strong backend. So which ball should do the trick? (or any other ball from any other company?

I have thrown just about every one of these ball except for the Vertigo, and I would suggest the XXCel.  It has a particle cover and a weight block where they added flip extensions to the top of the XCel series core for more continuation on the backend.  I would place the GP2 a close second.  Granted I am a cranker type, but to give you an idea, on a fresh pattern 42 feet, I was playing 20 at the arrows out to 5 for a breakpoint and the XXCel got around the corner extremely well without loss of hitting power.  Layout on the ball was pin out 2.5 inches with the pin below the ring finger and the cg was kicked right about 1.5 inches from center of grip with a balance hole in the thumb quadrant to the right of the thumb 5 inches from center of grip.

So what does pin-out and pin-in mean?
