Arsenal Reactive Review w/ vids
« on: October 25, 2005, 09:32:55 AM »
Pap – 5 over 3/4 up, rotation 45-50 degrees, speed 14-15, weight 14lbs
Layout 4.5x2.75 with the pin 1.5 above mid line, weight hole 3/4 x 2 1/4 deep 6 and 1/4 inches away slightly above mid line

Here are a couple of vids, the oil was actually pretty thick at 12-13

AR in the oil line - http://media.putfile.com/StrongARinoil
AR with a slight swing - http://media.putfile.com/StrongARswinging

Testing conditions: synthetics heavy 34ft buffed to 42ft, drier between 5-10 with lite hang outside 5

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.

Hey tempo,

I'm going to try and locate it....too much stuff around the shop cause it's been MIA for about 2 weeks now.  Not sure if one of my guys grabbed it to try it or not...
