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.

kgee 15,

I feel that the Xception 5.0 is a replacement for the Rule, but it gives a different kind of reaction than the Rule. IF ANY OF THAT MAKES SENSE! It takes the place of the Rule as far as overall hook, but the reaction on the lanes is different. The Rule is smoother where the 5.0 reads the mids later than the Rule it adds much more on the backend.
The little bit of time I have had to use it, I had a very difficult time keeping the 5.0 from going nose----that is how strong the backend is.

The best way for me to explain this ball (as stated I will talk more about it once I have thrown it more) is that the roll characteristics are close to the Phenom Unleashed, but with the backend of the Xception AND THEN SOME.

I have NEVER been fond of pearls, especially reactives, but I have had success with Del's pearls in general, such as the Nighthawk Revenge, Nighthawk Torque Pearl, Arsenal Angular, and Xception to name a few. I am wondering how this will stack up for me with the super quick spin time. Can't wait to get mine in!

From what Ex has said, it will get down the lane (Goo LS base) but start up sooner than the X and have as much/more backend than the X due to the quick spin time and the light load of Fang Particle added. Sounds like a monster to me! I think it will be in almost, if not more, bags than the GP2 is in right now.

I am sure it is if they say it is....especially since we have not had an asymettric pearl particle since the Freak Out.

Anytime L...

By the way, anywhere close to Collinsville, which is also just east of St Louis on Rt 70 are you moving too....I have relatives there. You will have to check out Gateway International Raceway for sure!

I don't know for sure, but the Rule will have a place in ny bag still because it is a solid reactive....the only solid reactive asymmetrical we have right now. It will still have a prupose and place until another dull solid reactive asymmetrical comes out from Track. The 5.0, albeit stronger than the Rule, has a different cover and core, and thus will do 2 different things, in my opinion.
