Rule GP2
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
Introducing the Rule GP2, the newest high-performance innovation from the Track team. The Rule GP2 defies logic. Never has the industry seen a particle ball that is aggressive in the midlane without giving up angular, continuous backend motion in heavier oil environments. The Rule GP2 freatures a combination of two different particles precision-injected into the aggressive Goo reactive. Track then matched the new coverstock with the large-volume Morpheus 1.0 core; added the high-volume Rev-Lever attachment from the Rule and the Xception core for strong mass bias; raised the RG for more energy retention; and attached a flip block for awesome backend reaction. Aggressive in the front and the backend, the Rule GP2 delivers the technology that has made Track the industry leader in core/coverstock innovation.

Greetings!

Player specs on Profile...

15lb...3 inch pin...2 1/2 oz top weight...

This is my third attempt with the GP2. First two weren't very good for me.  Seemed I couldn't get the ball to roll early enough for me on the heavy condition.

This time decided to go a bit more aggressive with the drilling to offset the high RG.  Pin is at 4 inches from PAP, which placed it about 1/2 inch below my ring finger.  MB was kicked almost to the VAL, placing it 2 1/2 from PAP.  Left in box condition.

Tried on new house shot...38 feet of oil...last 6 feet buffed....40 units 10 to 10...30 outside.  First ball played up 5 board...Clean through the heads and really started to rev at about 35 feet.  Made a strong arc and just caught the headpin on the brooklyn side.  Very impressed with that reaction.  Moved to 15 with a swing to 5.  Ball went about 5 feet further but made a very strong turn to the pocket and cleared the deck.  Played that line for about 8 frames until weak 10's started to pop up.  Moved very deep, 30 to 10 and was right back in the pocket again.  

This ball needs oil as has been stated before.  Still in awe of the move it makes, as wasn't expecting something that strong from a high load particle ball.  Hits like a ton of bricks.  Will definately tell you when to get deeper as weak 10's will start piling up.

After finally getting the right pattern on it, have a ball to battle the longer patterns with.  Another winner....

15lb, 14.5-15.5 MPH, medium revs, AMF synthetic lanes, medium oil with HUGE carry down! Not too sure about the drilling of this ball.

I love this ball!!! I used this ball last Friday and it was awsome! The house had a long oil pattern (I found out the lane oiler was not stripping the backends becasue it was broke). So, I had lots of oil to try this ball in. This ball chews through some oil!!! The hit and carry are outstanding!!!!! If its anywhere in the pocket, you might as well put an X on the scoreboard!!!!

Thank you Track!!!!!!!

Been using a Storm Trauma Recovery that I could not get to do much and ordered this ball... I was a "lefty" until 2 years ago when an auto accident rendered my left arm unusable.  Had to learn to bowl as a right hander and had a 175 avg.  My first three games with this ball were 220, 235, and a 237.  I truly like this ball and hope it continues to allow me to perform well with it.  We'll see tonight on the league!  Thank Track for a nice ball and experience.

I am a 16 year old player and bought this ball for early hook. That's what it did.
I am med rev player and shot 685 out of the box, It's a great ball but you have to know when to put it in the bag for when the lanes dry up.

I love this ball. I am 16 yo, throw med revs around 17 mph.  I am not sure about the drill layout.  Out of the box I shot 258,266, and 259 for a 783 series.  This ball grabs the lane hard and has a nice smooth backend, carrying everything.

Ball specs: 15 lb 2 oz, 2" pin, 2 oz of top weight.

I needed a heavy oil/tournament ball for my arsenal so I picked up this one. Ball was drilled pin under ring, mb on VAL. Covrstock left in OOB. I have thrown it on a few different lane patterns to see what this ball will and wont work on.

First shot, THS, medium oil tapered out to 8. Dry outside of that.  Oiled to 28' buffed to 40'. Fresh backends. The ball is not designed for this type of lane condition. I needed to move way in and play a small belly shot to stay in the oil. I was lined up standing on 30 pushing the ball over 15 at the arrows with my break point at 12. I was able to get to the pocket and strike pretty consistently. Ball had good length and then popped on the backend.

Second shot, same shot as above only second shift. Couldnt use this ball at all obviously. The heads were shot and plenty of carrydown. Ball burned up in the first 20 feet and would do anything. Ball is not make for this shot.

Third shot, tournament shot, flat heavy pattern out to 5, tapered to the gutter. Pattern was long as well, not sure on the exact distance but if I had to guess, I would say it was probably 42 to 45 feet in length. The GP2 shined on this shot. It is really an oil monster. It basically ignored the oil and gave me a nice reaction. I was able to stand on 23 and play over 13 at the arrows hitting 10 at my breakpoint. The ball got down the lane and had a hard move on the backend. It hit the pins with tremendous power. I had very good carry with the ball.

Overall, the ball works like a gem on what it was designed for. Heavy oil. I have never seen a ball with that much recovery on heavy oil. This one is a winner even with its limited usage. It retains energy very well and unleashes it when it hits the pocket.

If you need a heavy oiler for your arsenal, dont hesitate on this one. Another winner from Track!!

PAP 5-1/2 over and 7/8 up.  Slightly speed dominant so went with a 4-1/2 by 5 with the pin 3" above miline, and kept the finish out of the box.

I use this ball for tournament or sythetic lanes mainly.  In one house in my area they flood the lane from 5 to 5 up to about 42 feet.  My first two games with the ball in tournament play wasn't two impressive(bowler error), but after I got dialed in the ball would cut through the river and make a nice angular reaction towards the pocket.  When it hit the pocket the ball went through pins like paper.  This ball has great hitting power in heavy oil.

I made qualifying and starting the first game in semi's the ball wouldn't carry the corners.  Figured it was carry down and moved left a board and started to go through the nose.  Knowing now that I needed to move in that I would have found more oil.  I am pretty happy with the backend reaction of the ball for being a medium load particle.  The High RG allows this ball to have a little angle in the backend.  If you bowl with this ball in the medium oil this ball would need an inside angle to keep in in oil as long as possible without losing energy.

Player Specs:

Ball Speed: 17-18mph Speed dominant bowler
Rev Rate: 300-325
PAP: 4 3/8
VAL: 5"
Axis Rate: Medium
Axis Tilt: 15 Degrees

Ball Specs:

Pin Placement: 2"
Ball Weight: 16lbs 0 oz's
Top Weight: 2 oz's
Layout: 5 x 3 1/2 with an Extra hold of 13/16 on my V.A.L.

Needed a ball that could move very strong in oil. Todd Adams drilled this ball just to do that. I'm a very speed dominant player with a medium rev rate that uses the outside line alot to make a move for the pocket. This ball allows me to play much deeper on those fresh house shots as I expected. The pin is drilled just right and below my ring finger with CG just alittle right of the pin. This ball Revs up early for me and makes a strong arc into the pocket. Carrying for this ball is not an issue. Just know when to put it away. When lanes start to break down this ball will leave 10 pins. Great ball by Track. I give it an 8 out of 10.

I purchased this ball as a reaction to the much heavier than normal oil pattern of this past summer's league. It gave me a decent move that was still lacking in the oil, but much better than my X-factor Ace(now sold), and X-factor Vertigo.

The winter league shot is slightly more difficult and gone is that heavy oil pattern that I saw in the summertime. It took me a while to warm up to this ball and now it is the first ball out of my bag. Best particle ball I've ever thrown.

I'm a stroker with low/medium revs and 13-15 mph ball speed at the deck. This ball gives me a nice midlane read followed by a nice and strong backend reaction that has saved my arse more than a few times. The backend is not like the vertigo's, but more smooth and even. This ball reminded me of my X-factor deuce when I first got it. Great recovery if I throw it too far to the outside and this ball holds the line well. This ball doesn't burn up like most particles do. It finishes well even when the lanes start to break down. Once I start seeing solid 8 pins, I put this ball back in the bag.

After using this ball, I've pretty much opened up to Track being that I am normally a storm guy.

9 out of 10 for this ball.

I just recently started to use this ball again after about an 8 month hiatas without it. So much stronger than my Alter Ego. Can only use it for a short period of time as it starts to hook very early after about 1.5 games. Then I switch to alter ego by columbia. Shot a couple of 299's and one 300 in practice over Dublin.

This is one of the best ball I've thrown. It's the best ball for oil. Just let the ball work for you & don't try to overthrow it.

I have used this on a Sport Shot and heavy oil house shot on synthetics and wood. It allows me to play a deeper angle on the sport shot that no other ball in my arsenal will let me play. It is great when the house shot is flooded but I have to be careful and watch the carry because it starts to burn up and hit more softly eventually after a game or two and you have to know when to put it away and pull out the polished ball. It is a good ball to have in the arsenal, especially for a low rev player with speed like me. I still suck on the sport shot but it is not the ball's fault  that I can't repeat shots, without it I would probably do even worse.

I just bought this ball used so i can be able to get a good hook out of sport shot conditions.  I have to say that this ball will be able to do that with ease.  So far i've only played this on house shots and with about 9 games bowled on the pair and this ball HOOKS.  The only problems i get in is controlling how much loft i have and getting it into the dry too early, if you do that it WILL hook high on you so if you're not that accurate of a player then this may not be the ball for you.  I can't wait to try this ball out at the tournaments i have coming up these next couple of weeks, it looks like a promising ball for when the lanes are slicker than ice.

This is the first track ball I have ever bought, and I must say that whatever Track is doing, I hope that it keeps doing it.  This ball is great for oily lanes, in fact I wouldn't throw anything else, except for maybe the Tour Inferno.  I have had only one honor score with this ball (299, it lacks some carry *cough 10-pin cough*) but I have had mulitple 290 and 279 games with it.  I think the only problem with this ball is that it doesn't transition really well from oily to dry lanes, I think one is better off switching when he or she notices the ball really starting to snap up.  Other than that though, I really believe that this ball can carry a bowler through some of the slickest conditions out there.
