Santa paid me a visit and he left me a Deuce.
Specs:
15 lb.
3" pin
4 oz. TW
Drill specs
Pin over bridge (5" pin)
CG out 1"
RAD next to thumb
Box finish
Man, o' man, I loves me the Deuce. This is the third one I've drilled, but the first one I've drilled for length. I've drilled one to roll (2" pin) and maxed one out (label leverage). The 2" pin is perfect for wet/dry and tough conditions I have to square up on. The label leverage was a bit too smooth, so I moved it.
Well, I drilled this one up to be my big resin for conditions where particles are too much (which is pretty often). Bowled today on weekend leftovers and used it with my V2 Particle and Monster Bruiser. The Deuce fit perfectly in between the two. The left lane had quite a bit of carrydown and I had to use the V2, but the right lane was a little cleaner and the Deuce really stood out on this lane.
The high RG drill on this baby got it down the lane well enough, but it still read the lane and recovered with pin splattering effectiveness. I'm really anxious to try it out tomorrow night as the backends should be somewhat cleaner and the heads will be fresh. I get the feeling the Deuce could be a monster.
Overall, I really like this ball and it is dead on for what I intended. It's got a similar shape to the V2 Particle, but longer and a little smoother (coverstock). This ball could well be my nominee for ball of the year. A big hooker that is on the same level as the medium and light load particles, but can stay in your hand longer.
Note: Bigger hands and slower speeds should definitely stay away from the stronger drills, the RAD core is a big motor and will burn up.
