Pap – 5 over ¾ up, rotation 45 degrees, speed 14-15, weight 14lbs
Layout 4 1/4 x 4mb, 1 3/4 above mid line
Testing conditions: synthetics 34ft buffed to 42
Readability and Hook: This ball is strong! It reads the heavier oil with ease and offers a very powerful hook on the backend.
In the out of box finish, I needed to use this on a med heavy condition or it would cause too much friction early. It needs decent head oil to be thrown and react effectively. With some head oil present, it opens up the backend tremendously. Being resin vs. particle, the recovery off the free hook from this ball is stronger in comparison.
Control: Even with my aggressive layout, the ball reacts with a strong arc, not skid flippy at all.
Hit: The hit is very interesting. I am providing some videos with this review for you to view and you can see how hard it drives through the pins. The most interesting thing is the “exit†angle of where the ball leaves the pin deck. It drives so hard that it splits the 8-9 most of the time. It has the most continuous backend finish I’ve personally ever seen before.
Overall: Very impressive ball. Just a tad shy of oil handling capability compared to our Rule GP2 but makes up for it on the backend. I’ll let the videos speak for themselves…
