Coverstock versatility
« on: January 17, 2006, 04:54:31 AM »
Many of us have mentioned how versatile the Animal is. I have personally witnessed another ball that I feel may be even more versatile than the animal.

I have 2 Rule Delta 1s.....so I decided to throw polish (Magic Shine) on my second one which has the pin below the bridge MB 1 1/2 inches left of my VAL. This made the ball incredibly long and super sharp on the backend. I expected the cover change to make it go longer, but I didn't think it would be the way it is.

SO...I decided to play around with the cover a bit more. I sanded it down to 320 and put a light coat of Magic Shine on it again. Now this ball makes a very good benchmark ball.

What I am getting at basically goes back to many people saying that Track just makes "hook monsters". VERY funny what a slight coverstock adjustment on a strong ball can do.

What do you feel is the most versatile Track ball on the market right now?

My opinion Track Xception

I too have fooled with the cover and was amazed at my results!

I know I will catch some flack....but the GP2 with some surface adjustments can be very long as well.....thus why I have so many!

I'd have to agree with the Rule Delta 1 being VERY versatile in terms on coverstock adjustments.  I've used a burgundy pad (approx.320-400 grit) all the way to 2000-grit wetsand with A LOT of polish (shiny as a marble).

At 400-grit, the ball is sooooo extremely aggressive.  It doesn't quite get passed the heads.  Most of the time, it's in the left gutter at 20-30ft. if the volume of oil isn't high enough.  With anything less than 800-grit, I really have to play deep and keep the ball in the oil, and I can even play the out of bounds area.

Highly polished, this ball saves so much energy and makes quite an angular and strong move on the backend.  It's still not as skid/flip as the Xception though.  I can still play deep, but just like most highly polished balls, it will skid past the breakpoint if it's in the oil too long.  With this surface, I can play multiple parts of the lane.

At whatever surface I've tried, the ball enters the pin deck so well.  I think I have left more 9-pins with the Rule Delta 1 than any other ball I've had.
