X-Ception 5.0 & the Layouts
« on: May 22, 2005, 11:15:10 AM »
Ordered my X-Ception 5.0 today! If you already have one punched up and have it drilled reply here and let me know how they reacted for you. I'm really looking for the one's who have their's drilled like the following below:

Pin below the ring finger
Pin above the ring finger

These are the main two, but I want to know of other types of layouts for this one and the reaction that resulted from the layout! Thanks again for the help guys!

Well guys, I had to run it blind on the layouts of the 5.0, brought it to my pro shop and we laid it out with the Pin below the bridge. I've never had a layout such as this, this is a special ball in my opinion, it's just an incredible ball from Track.

Still waiting on mine to come from Track. I have 2 on the way, and will be glad to help with any further questions about the 5.0 once I get to see what it can do in my hands!

Hey EX,

Mike's my real name, anyways...the pin below the bridge, mass bias @ 5 o'clock...ball indeed revs up hard in the middle part of the lane, I have practiced quite a bit with this ball.

I also got my Heat in the other day and we drilled it opposite with the pin above the bridge...I believe we drilled the heat with a 5 1/2" pin.

The 5.0 was a 4 1/2" pin from my PAP. It's a step below the Rule GP2 as I was told. I put my Animal and Phenom Unleashed in my back-up bag. So for now, I have the Rule GP2, X-Ception 5.0, Slash, and Heat. Which I think is a stout arsenal.

I really like the fact with the four I have in the bag right now all have different layouts.

Rule GP2 -- Pin below ring finger
X-Ception 5.0 -- Pin below the bridge
Slash -- Pin above ring finger
Heat -- Pin above the bridge

On a final note, I can't believe I got a 5.0 before Clint did! EX and Rick, where is the mass bias at on yours?

SteveAustin2808--
I drilled mine 4x4 stacked and no x-hole. The second one is 5x31/2 with an extra hole, MB is a #3 on the drill sheet.

Stacked is the best for the backend that most people are looking for, the carry down is not a problem with is layout and surface(OOB).  The second ball is so smooth the whole lane, its predictable and charges pretty early.  I love this ball and will be drilling more of them.

GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS

Mike,

I placed my MB about 1 inch left of my VAL. It is a strong rolling position. So with the 5.0 I get the strong roll in the midlanes, yet still get that super POP on the backends.

Hey Mike,

My mb is on val and is 4 inches away, my layout is 4 7/8 x 4mb.  It also is pretty smooth for me but the backends can be pretty strong when I grabbed on it.
