Will the gauntlet hook more than the new rules?

how is the gauntlet supposed to be more aggressive than the scandal but has less of a fcc rating according to hammer?

Could it be because of the asymmetric core?
But, then, they would have factored that into the FCC rating, right?
That brings up why did they rate the Gauntlet's core as weaker than the Scandal if the Gauntlet's has the added Intermediate differential of .012, which can get much larger with an appropriate drilling???

Yes, I see; I raised more questions than I answered.
Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of a bowling ball manufacturer??
The Shadow does!

The gauntlet is a hybrid vs the scandal being a solid

One thing I have learned in this life, is that SOMETIMES things are more than just the sum of their parts.

 Take the old Ebonite V2. It wasn't supposed to be anything special, just introduced as a decent, mid-level ball. For some reason, it just worked, and so well in fact, that we still have quasi versions of it around today in the Gamebreaker series.

 That may not be the case here, but it does sometimes happen

The !Q line kinda worked out like that too, at least when the Tour editions got into the lineup. Storm wasn't expecting that kind of strength. I remember them having those two balls in like the medium-light oil category on their site and/or comparison tool.

As I posted in 2 different threads, I saw Adam Barta use his Gauntlet in league Thursday. The leadoff bowler on his team used a Tyrant the last game and a half or so and Adam was WELL left of the leadoff bowler. Not even close and the leadoff bowler throws it just as good as Adam.

Probably. The Semtex CFI coverstock now has solid, pearl, and hybrid variations. Since the Gauntlet uses the latter it's unlikely a new Scandal coming out will. And with the introduction of the Phobia as a higher-performance symmetrical core I think both the Scandal and Legend lines are going to be retired. No need for a top shelf symmetrical or second-to-top shelf asymmetrical anymore. I think everything would be way too close for them.

So is this the end of the Scandal series because as we know it will be a Gauntlet pearl comming out soon

I doubt that. Keep in mind that the entire Scandal series, including the Amazing Scandal and other international Scandals are symmetric, versus the Gauntlet which is asymmetric.

BL.

They could just carry both symmetrical and assymtrical balls in Thier HP price price point. I can't see the scandal going so soon
