Pure Tactics #1 and #2 reviews

SPECS: #1 35x 4 1/2x35
       #2 Pin under Bridge Mb out 3 inches
Both balls have their OOB finish on them.

Sabre Lanes= Older wooden lanes pretty much a standard THS, dry outsides oil in the middle but a trashed track area. interesting. Using PT #2 I started playing about 15 way out to around 5 about 47 feet down lane, a little slower ball speed than usual for me nice solid first game then the carry down started due to other bowlers on the pair using urethane and plastic, went two boards right and targeted four farther right at the arrows and didn't get much just skid went 5 more boards right and about a arrow right and found it again finished decent. the last game well I slowed down and bumped left, again due to carry down and the PT's lack of ability to handle it . I tried both PT's through the course of the transition they did about the same thing on the carry down which was less than impressive.

Lake Shore Lanes= Synthetic lanes Brunswick anvaline, again a THS and probably the easiest one of all time this house doesn't usually show much for carry down.
Using PT#1 first, I was crossing 20 at the arrows and going out as far as right as I needed or wanted to and it was still running back after the 45 foot mark very impressed. as the transitioned I just kept bumping left still had all kinds of room really as much as I needed. PT#2 after a re-oil. Had to play straighter and smoother then #1. went about 15 out to around 8 about 42 feet down a much smoother reaction shape easier to read and it carried better due rolling more into the pins. Again when the lanes transitioned I bumped left as needed still had alot of room right but not as much as #1.

HIT/CARRY= Very nice moves pins around very well sends messengers very well. Still carry better when using MoRich but I have reaction issues with Mo's stuff in leagues due to the strength of his cores, I think, but that is another story. I like that the PTs keep the pins down and roll straight through the deck.

REACTIONS= very cool a little different though, angular but controllable stronger off the spot than most of my stuff but still readable and controllable, I like it, it is different in a good way. I would say the PTs are very close to a Rougue Cell in terms of reaction, the RC may cover a few boards and handle carry down better due to being more dull OOB.  

OVERALL= Very good equipment here. If you have a chance to pick one up it is worth the money. I very much like the Hook, hitting power, and read the ball brings me. The only sore spot I have is the reaction on carry down, which can be fixed by dulling down one of them probably #1. All in all great bowling balls worth the money and I am glad I picked these up I am using them in leagues and my MoRich stuff in tourneys. The AZO stuff have turned my League season around completely!
