Rule or Animal?
« on: August 05, 2004, 09:31:48 AM »
I'm currently using a Phenom with a pin below the ring finger and the mass bias in a flip position (one inch from the thumb hole).  This ball is great for medium and even medium-heavy, but when the oil is heavy and/or long it doesn't work as well.  I'm looking into buying a heavy oil ball.  I have considered the Animal, but by what I've read about the Rule, I'm having second thoughts.  

What are your opinions regarding a heavy oil ball?  Should I still go for the Animal or wait for the Rule? I'm planning on getting it drilled with the pin under the ring finger and the mass bias in the strong position. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

I talked to Del last Friday about the Rule and Animal and Ten Pins Pro post is very accurate. Del said that if there is any dry that the Rule will hook as much as the Animal. Take a look at where the Rev Lever located ... how can't it hook. Something to think about, when I got my Untamed it was mega smooth and I wanted some more length/snap so I put a little (and I mean little) polish on it and got the reaction that I wanted. Track balls seem to take well to polish so if get the Rule and what it to go a little longer take it in small steps. I like low load or sanded reactives for heavy oil and I ordered a Rule right there.

Got a chance to throw the Rule on some heavier carrydown and I definitely did not have the same room as before.  Actually, I had to tighten up about 10 boards to play the backend, right room was gone.  After seeing that(and so did Roy), I will put it this way.  In "true" heavy(with a limited dry area), my sanded Animal rolls up better and actually gives me a little more room than the Rule.  In the med/heavy to med/med where there was a lighter coat of oil and the dry was more definite, the Rule opened up the lane a lot better.  Hope this doesn't confuse anyone.....pls ask me if I did and I'll try and clarify.  Thanks...

yes, Jerry, I usually throw a Phenom to so it would be awesome if you could give a comparison between the two balls  But from what Rick has already said, I think I may go for the Animal over the Rule.
