AChappy, do you recognize this one?

My stats
About 450-470 RPMS, 17.5-18mph
PAP: 5 1/2 right, 1/8 down

Review
This is a hand me down, of a hand me down, lol.  With this forward roll type layout and my excessive revrate I get a check out of this ball in the midlane that is simply unreal!  Polishing was a necessity.  Compared to my Slash(OOB surface) drilled 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 with an X hole on the PAP, the Rule is a good 5 feet earlier and 5 more boards aggressive than what was previously my most aggressive ball.  I'll try to get a video soon.  

Kicking the Mass Bias past the VAL gives me a hard check around 35-40 feet on the THS I've seen in two different houses(one pattern was much heavier than the other), but because it loses tilt so early, it never keeps hooking left.  I get a predictable, yet hard arc with all forward roll on the backend.  That combination makes for some of the most powerful pocket hits I've ever seen out of any ball.  I really have to go back and think about if I've ever thrown a ball as aggressive as this one.  I think the only way this ball will be able to see the light of day would be on a longer sport pattern, or some type of shot where the concentration of oil outside is very high and long and I need control of the backend.  

I think most players on a house condition won't be able to benefit from a layout like this due to the hook/set motion not being condusive for anything short or extreme wet/dry, but for something longer/wetter that forces you to be more direct with your shot this type of layout in this strong of a ball would seem suitable to give you control and keep the ball in play.
