IDK if it's true but I heard that the core has cracked on quite a few GP2's

With all factors equal, the GP2 is probably a bit stronger in oil than the Animal. I have 2 of them, one is NIB, and I am taking offers!!

Taking offers or testing the waters?  $80 shipped to Canada?  I would have offered $120 shipped, but I just spent $40 on a plug and drill

The cores can't crack they are made out of a solid urethene block.

I know that there is a lot of new stuff out but I really like my Unleased for the oil. I keep it in box condition and it just rolls so true. I love my X-ception though and the GP2 shares a similar core so I have to believe that would be good in the oil.

I would say that the Arsenel Aggressive is the best ball Track has for oil right now that nobody knows much about.  We have a 42 foot pattern at the center I am at and we drilled one for a girl with 17 mph and a 225 rpm rate and she is actually awinging the ball with plenty of recovery and the hitting power is very good.  Grab an Arsenel for your arsenel.  You won't be disappointed.

I have a arsenal aggressive and havent had a chance to put it on some oil yet but it does hit the pins like a ton of bricks. Blows them straight to the back of the rack, but becareful not to leave solid 8's and 9's.

Hey gcraise,

The GP2 and the Arsenal Aggressive are both good choices but I also have my GP2 stronger in comparison.  You really can't go wrong either way...
