I am a fan of the specs. this ball provides (2.54 / .041) and although it is a pearl, I have a reactive and a particle version of similar balls (Icon 300 by Columbia is particle with very close specs, Granite Gargoyle and Violet Gargoyle from Visonary with similar specs).  I have both balls layed out with the pin low and probably about 3 1/2 - 4in. from PAP, with the CG swung right at 10:30.  It doesn't have a MB indicator, but if you draw a line 6 1/4 in. from Pin through the CG on my Gargoyles and dot it thats the indicator, and its within 1 inch of my VAL.  

My PAP is is 4 5/16 over 1/2 up.  but I haven't measured the pin distance so thats why I rough estimated.  The pin is below my Ring finger.


With that layout on my Gargoyle and Icon, those balls are SO smooth.  It has an earlier midlane read than what most higher RG balls do, and a very predictable consistant hard arc backend reaction.  The V. Gargoyle is definitely my benchmark ball.  And I have even had success with it on some heavier concentrated sport patterns and shots with some moderate carry down.  I plan on trying some Roto stuff in the future and this will be one of the balls I try first because of the similarities in the other balls I have, plus I have a gap for a med/drier condition ball. When I get all of this layed out and punched, I will measure on my other 3 too, and post the correct specs (probably in profile).  And hopefully I can also get a video together.

Later,
