Xception 5.0, DO NOT BE FOOLED!!!
« on: May 12, 2005, 03:29:15 AM »
I have stated in other threads that I have only had a chance to use it briefly. It is definately a "pretty" ball, but do not let that fool you!!! This thing is a wolf in sheep's clothing on the lane.

For those of you that want a ball that will turn the corner in carrydown this is it!!! When the Xception squirts a little too much, grab the 5.0 and lower the rag top!!!

PS- I will post a mini review once I have had a change to throw it a little bit more.

Will this new Xception 5.0 fit in my new arsenal? Originally I was thinking:

GP2 - have, not drilled
Aggressive - have, not drilled
Angular - don't have yet (I'm thinking Xception 5.0 in this slot)
Xception - have, not drilled
Slash - don't have yet
Big Hit Pearl - yes, its a Storm but I'm waiting for that "desert heat" to become more than a mirage LOL

How does this sound? Also, is the 5.0 available in pro shops? And is this ball similar to the AI?

Arsenal doesn't sound bad....ball should be available in shops by the end of this week from what I understand. In another Track thread, I believe I read where the 5.0 had more midlane and more backend than the AI.

Buck,

That arsenal does not seem too bad. Layouts and lane conditions will play a factor ofcourse.

The 5.0 is very similiar to the AI, just add a bunch more backend.

I currently have a Phenom Unleashed drilled with the pin under the ring finger mb to the left of the thumb, (I am right handed), I also have a Absolute Inferno drilled label pin just outside the ring finger and a xcel pearl pin above the ring finger mb about a 1 1/2 to the right of the thumb. I ordered my 5.0 tonight, if I drill it like the unleashed what will the reaction be. I know that some of you guys have thrown one so please let me know what to expect. I might just put the pin under my finger and kick the mb to the right, if any of you have tried either of these let me know.

Thanks

kid,

If you drill it identical to your Unleashed expect it to get down the lane further before it makes its move, and it will have more backend (if the backends are fresh). With the MB in that position though, it would be pretty tame in overall reaction. Kicking the MB right a bit will give you a strong reaction, thus taking better advantage of what the ball can offer you.
