Readability and Hook: This ball reads med to med heavy oil with ease. It offered me a nice mid lane read with a good strong arcing finish on the backend.
In the out of box finish (dull), I got more hook from the ball then expected. Rumors had this ball with the same ball path as an AI from Bruns and I definitely saw more then that. It's about 3-4 boards stronger then that IMHO.
Control: I placed the pin under bridge area for more control for some of our heavier front and drier backend shots and that is exactly what I got, a nice smooth but strong arcing ball.
Hit: The hit is was still very powerful for a ball that arcs smoothly into the pins.
Overall: Very nice ball. With it's lower rg and the rev-ball insert, it does rev up on it's own pretty quickly, looks good going down the lane. This is just a tad under my Rule Delta 1 which offers me a different look on the heavier oil conditions (length and very strong backend). I'd recommend this ball to anyone seeking a stronger reactive cover for medium heavy oil and likes to not have to work to get a good strong reaction.
