The Grip has a really strong, but smooth  motion to the pocket.  Not your typical hockey stick motion that most new releases have, but more of a controlled hook down the lane.  First night out, I shoot 678 right out of the box(226, 225, 227) on your typical ths on synthetics, playing 17 at the arrows and 10 for the breakpoint.  Made a 3-1 move left the last game as my only adjustment

The next night in my sport shot league, bowling on Kegel's 42' Autobahn, I shoot 646 playing a light fluff.  15 at the arrows and 12 at the breakpoint.  Ball walked in nicely, and I didn't have to make any major adjustments as the night went on, shooting 201, 244, 201.  So far I am loving the Kegel patterns.  Have bowled on Winding Road and Autobahn, and tomorrow its Turnpike.

Tonight on my tues. mens league, I fished around in practice wanting to throw the Raging Bull Charged, and couldn't find a decent line to pocket.  Threw the Grip the last two shots in practice and decided to go with it.  I ended up playing 13 at the arrows, and 5 at the breakpoint.  Come out first game with a 201, missed 3 ten pins and one of them was in the tenth, doh!  I than end up stuffing the next 19 frames, shooting 300 the second game and 246 the last game for a nice 747 set.  I didn't make any adjustments all night.  Another ecstatic night with the Grip! 
 
My thoughts on the ball, is that it is a very readable and predictable ball motion down the lane.  So having to make adjustments comes fairly easy.  The motion is comparable to the Mega Recovery, but with not so much hook.  With this ball, I know I'm gonna get the same continuous motion down the lane every time I throw it.  I think AMF has a winner with the Grip!

bass, I did drill up the Bounty Hunter.  Bounty Hunter was a bit stronger, and I did end up having to put polish on it in order to use it on league conditions.   Alot more mid-lane with the Bounty Hunter the ball ended up burning up on me, hence is why I had to go to the polish.  In my opinion the Grip and Mega Recovery are very similar in ball motion with the Mega being the stronger of the two.
 
I didn't throw the Grip tonight, and finally threw the Raging Bull Charged.  With the condition being a little drier than normal, the Grip was just way too much off the friction.  Raging Bull Charged was the ticket.  Shot a nice little 653, should've been higher if, my head was on straight, and didn't miss the five ten pins.  Overall, I think I hit the head on the layout of the Raging Bull Charged to fit below the Grip.  I haven't gone out and practiced with all the new stuff to get a feel on where they all fit, maybe one day this or next week, and I'll get some vid.
