Got this ball used, from doug sterner. The pin is just shy of 2 inches. Its drilled pin over ring, about 3/4 of an inch above it, slightly right. CG is about 1/4 of an inch right of the pin. Ball is polished, but not "mirror finish".

Me: Medium speed, around 15 MPH
Medium revs
Tweener

I got this ball, and planned for it to be my dry lane ball, but truthfully the only way that will happen is if I bring it up to at least 2000 grit polished. Pattern was nothing special, flat oil 7-7 (or around there) and medium/medium heavy outside that. Ball got through the heads, like nothing I've seen. Its not much for midlane roll, skids through the mids nicely, even after they start to dry up. I wanted the ball to be skid/snap, and I got what I wanted. This ball, for me, is all backend. I was standing on 45, swinging to around 8-10. Outside that it just skid, but keep it in the dry and it skids through the mid lane and snaps hard. This would be a fantastic medium oil ball, and I guess I'll see how it does for light oil to. Hope this wasnt too long, for a mini review!!!

well, there drilled way differently. The triple x has the pin under the ring, with the cg swung out. On the same pattern, the gargoyle is longer and a lot snappier. Overall hook, there real close, but totally different reactions.

truthfully I dont understand it, especially being the fact that my gargoyle is polished. I think it may be due to the fact that the triple x is burning up a little bit. Not sure but a possibility.

No snap, hard arc at best.

100% sure its not dying out, it only had like 20 games on it when I got it. Im pretty sure its rolling out some. It still has hit and carry, just not great hit or carry. I think the gargoyle will be first out of the bag from now on.
