Title: No Rules
Post by: xrayjay on July 26, 2016, 01:55:43 PM
I don't see much "hype" about this new release that's coming out in 6 days.

I haven't used RG in a long long while now, since the sonic x pearl. And since I don't have a med heavy, heavy conditioned ball currently, I decided to go with this ball. I don't really need a strong covered asym ball, but it was a ball I picked out for the raffle prize I won.

I saw the vids and I can't wait to see this roll. I'm looking for a diff. brand to try too, so this came in the right time.

I just wish companies would stop using 3 color mixes that have radically different colors

I've already seen two people use it in person and the ball looks good. The color scheme actually looks good going down the lane. It seemed to hit really hard too, but what ball these days doesn't? LOL

i really want one of these but being cashed strapped and already owing a haywire and hyper cell i just don't see the need to throw $160 down just to have a "stronger ball"...i will however wait and hope the pearl is released stateside in the winter and grab that one

I watched the bowlersdeals video... I've never seen a ball slow down that much in the friction. My goodness.

Balls slow down when they encounter friction because the cover grabs. It's physics.

My first particle ball when I returned from a long break, was the V2 particle and I loved that ball lol..

This ball will come in handy in houses with longer patterns. Can't wait

 As mentioned before, a ball hooks when it encounters friction. I've seen lots of bowling balls go down a lane, but when the ball almost stops because of friction, it's STRONG.

I'll check it out. 

I won this ball from a raffle and have yet to get an email from RG or any info on shipping. I'm sure it will come, hopefully not when I'm on vacation...

I just ordered mine to finally retire my Defiant.  Looking forward to drilling it up and having something great on the flood.

You retired another Heavy oil ball too didn't you? I was thinking you had 4 listed. Random observation.

Yes- I finally decided to also retire my Rogue Cell after having it the past several seasons.  Since getting the Paradox, there was no reason to carry 2 hybrids.  My PSO works with a few high school teams so I have donated some bowling balls in the past to give the kids some good things they can use.  That's what I'm likely going to do with both balls.  It's a good way to give back to the sport.

You think the Critical Theory will hold on for awhile still with the No Rules and Paradox in the mix?

If the No Rules Pearl comes out, the Critical Theory will be out.  Even though that ball isn't used as much now as it was, it still comes into play at a few places around here.

Speaking of the No Rules Pearl, here's a video I found on it.
