Personal PAP 5 over ¾ up, rotation 45 degrees, speed 14-15mph, weight 14lbs
Layout 1.5x1 for control, pin 2 ¼ above mid, weight hole 1 1/8 6 inches over on mid line, 2 ¼ deep
Testing Condition: 34ft buffed to 42ft, heavy center drier between 5-10 light hang outside 5
Readability and Hook: This ball is very strong even with my control layout. It revs up very quickly and handled the oil line with ease. If I swung it out towards dry, the control layout allowed it to recover but nice and gradually with a strong arcing motion, no jumpiness. It really just opened up the shot and allowed me to play multiple lines across this shot, very impressive.
Control: With this layout and coverstock, this ball has been very predictable in the oil and also coming out of the dry. Highly recommended for those who have problems with over/under conditions these days.
Hit: Extremely well. It carried from all angles and rolled thru the inside oil with it’s softer cover to move just enough on the backend to kick the corners.
Overall: As stated, it is very impressive. It currently sits about 3-4 boards less than my GP2, which is drilled to roll early for heavy oil. The Arsenal Aggressive is a nice fit directly underneath it. With this control layout, it currently offers me the best of both worlds. I can play the oil line with it (Peak particle cover) and I can even send it to the dry boards and not have it over react. Again, a very nice reaction for those touchier over/under conditions with great hitting power.
Special thanks to Track Staffer John Walther III for the layout idea.
