Title: Rip It?
Post by: JJp9976 on February 28, 2013, 05:37:44 PM: In watching the USBC Open preview, the 900 Global booth showed and mentioned a ball called the Rip It. Any info on release and specs yet?

Post by: JJp9976 on March 03, 2013, 11:45:54 AM: I was leaning more towards it being in the AMF line too. They have the Grip and had the Shred-It. It would seem to fit as a variation on either. I haven't had any luck with the AMF website either.

Post by: S-70BreakPearl on March 04, 2013, 03:01:47 PM: the ball is going to be released April 1st. Its a mid performance ball that is pretty much a remake of the longshot but with a different core :) & similar #s

http://www.900global.com/index.php/products/balls/ripit.html (http://www.900global.com/index.php/products/balls/ripit.html)

Should be interesting, didn't really see the hula core as skid/flip. Basically an OMG Pearl with a weaker cover. Love the colors though.

Post by: Impending Doom on March 05, 2013, 11:56:21 AM: Asymmetric? Looks like a rg shatter. Finally, a ball between the hooks and wisdom/jewel (Go ahead, tell me the sure thing is "weaker")
Title: Re: Rip It?
Post by: iamone78 on March 05, 2013, 01:06:30 PM: I believe that "Asymetrical" is a typo on the website. Has the same core numbers as the OMG Pearl.

I like the gap filler between the Wisdom/Jewel and the Hooks. Just what I was looking for. This one should easily find a place in my bag, should compliment the King Cobra or Sure Thing very well.

Post by: Impending Doom on March 05, 2013, 05:03:01 PM: After I drill the lot of things I have to drill this weekend (Look, Train, Freight Train, Hook B/G and B/P, Torrid, Slant HD and maybe my Jewel), this and a Sure Thing are going to find their way home to me as well.

Whoever said the Sure Thing was "weaker" lied.

Post by: Impending Doom on March 06, 2013, 09:15:46 AM: I could see someone saying "Well, the shell on the Sure Thing is weaker, so it's weaker than the Wisdom and Jewel."

Mmmm, this is getting interesting.

Post by: rickc0123 on March 08, 2013, 08:59:27 PM: any advice on drilling for me for the rip it.

I am a higher rev player with above average ball speed and want to get down lane but pop on the backend also want to be able to be a go to ball when the heads start to break down so advice would be appreciated am drilling tomorrow before league but was thinking drilling like my dirty look which is 55x4x50 which gives me the length but not the pop i want so any good suggestion

I would keep the drill angle the same as your dirty look, maybe go with a 4.5" or 5" pin to pap, but change the val angle to something like 35*. This should give the ball decent length and some backend pop that you are looking for. Just my thoughts. Let us know what you go with and how it works. I'm really excited about this one, and can't wait to get mine.

Post by: Impending Doom on March 11, 2013, 09:32:35 AM: I think this is going to get drilled 50x5x65 for me. Replace my Link (maybe?)

Post by: S-70BreakPearl on March 12, 2013, 12:07:50 AM: Rick C I drilled mine with pin above the ring finger and thought it might go a little long for me but it set up really nice with a ton of backend movement & it has a ton of pop to it as well when it hits the pocket :) Not sure id go pin down with my ball speed but it might work that way for others.. i guess you'll have to go out and get you 1 to find out :) good luck ;D

Post by: tekneek on March 12, 2013, 10:16:53 AM: I have some ordered, just hope it is as good as the King Cobra. I was not a fan of the core in the OMG Pearl, maybe the cover and not the core. In any event I have a few coming for those who might want to try it out.
