NO I am not talking about Rick

I am talking about the Rule GP2!!!!

This is not my mini review.....I do not have enough games on the balls to really post a "review" yet, but I have to offer up a few comments on what I have seen so far.

I drilled up 3 of them tonight and got a chance to throw roughly a game with each of them. One is drilled exactly how my Animal was drilled (leverage pin pin 1 1/4 above midline, MB on VAL), one was drilled with the pin above the ring finger MB 1/4 of an inch right of thumb, one drilled with the pin below the bridge MB 1 inch left of VAL.

Each of these balls has hook.......but they each do things totally different. The pin above ring finger opens up a lane with ease....the leverage pin rolls so early that this is going to be a tournament ball not much else.....pin below the bridge will work on most anything, it rolls early but retains a ton of energy for the backends.

The "insane" in the subject headline is aimed at the hook this ball offers. It had the early roll of the Animal, with more backend than the Rule. This ball shocked me with how much it moved. Another thing that stands out so far is how much backend it has for a dull ball...let alone the fact that it is a dull particle.

I will post my mini ASAP. But this thing is moves....and hits really hard. I can easily see how this ball can make people believe that Rick is a cranker.

i totaly agree with you. i got one from my uncle, i have no clue how he got it other than he works for some big name law firm and gets just bout everything, but never a bowling ball, but he did and he gave it to me cause he knows im trying to go pro. i happen to have mine drilled up slighty the same as your pin under ball. and you are so right this ball HOOKssss especailly for a dull ball. i had to toy with the surface of my slash to get it up to par but not this one. i love this ball, but moreso i think i love track int.

The words "Rick" and "cranker" should never be in the same sentence!

What really is difficult to understand is this: until I threw the GP2 the RULE finished harder than any dull ball I have ever seen, the GP2 being particle still took it up a step.

So far the one that intrigues me the most is the pin over ring finger, mb just right of thumb. When I throw it the ball seems to do absolutely nothing, but when the backend comes into play you just see it rev incredibly quick.

Carl,

What does the pin under bridge with mb one inch left of val look like compared to your arsenal. #2 came in for me, I'm trying to decide which way to go....thanks.

Rick,
That ball is easily stronger than anything else I have (other than the leverage pin GP2).

Earlier rolling and strong backend than the Rule I had drilled 3in pin from PAP MB in close to the #3 position. It is very difficult to compare any of these to anything else I currently have because there is no comparison. I was in awe every time I threw these balls lastnight. 26 strikes in a row with 3 different balls and 3 different lines.

To try to sum up the layout on the pin under bridge ball....with the same layout I had a Fear Factor (this was well over a year ago) the Fear Factor did not roll as quickly and did not have near the backend that this ball has. If this does not help, just call me----maybe I can explain it better on the phone.

This ball is just alot of fun to throw.

Okay, just got off the phone with Carl. We both saw something in common I wanted to share with you guys. It's a little hard to explain but here goes..

For Carl, when he tried to hit the ball a little stronger, it didn't just rev up and take off.

For me, it's when I killed the ball and didn't hit up on it. The reaction of the ball (for both of us) was still similar to our normal lift shot. What's this mean? Margin of error....this ball still cleared, grabbed in the mids and turned over on the backend with good hitting power. This reaction came from our similar layouts of pin over ring and mb right of thumb some. I just thought this reaction to be very interesting...it's like it has a mind of its own. Wouldn't it be great if a ball reacted the same regardless of human error?
