Seismic Raging Bull Charged Bowling Ball

My take so far is that the Raging Bull Charged is a very predictable, rolly piece. Clean through the heads with a nice midlane read and a nice medium to strong move on the backend. Very smooth reaction, especially when there's carry down, or when the lane starts to break down. The Raging Bull Charged is capable of handling a good amount of oil and longer patterns. Surface changes work well with this piece and at a lower grit turns the RBC into a complete beast on the lanes.

SPECS:35X 4 1/2X70 dulled to 500 abralon then added Motiv Power Gel Polish SABRE LANES: Older well kept Wooden lanes, RBC is my step down from my Requiem. Standard THS.A few weeks ago the House started experimenting with the THS Pattern, and RBC has seen a lot of use. Playing about 17 out to around 5-7 board around 44 feet ball makes a smooth move to the pins and has no quit all the way through the deck. RBC gives good length easy length and predictable moves off the spot on this house pattern which can be a little more angular than most. SPORT PATTERN NOTES: On many different Sport Patterns from Team USA to PBA Patterns this ball has been great! The smooth roll and easy length helps blend away over under. RBC allows you to play closer to friction with simpler lines to the pocket. But when hook is needed simple hand adjustments can make the RBC jump to a new gear. On a Medium length Team USA Pattern (not sure which one) I started straighter with RBC going 13 out to 10 or so. As the pattern transitioned I moved in with RBC and it had no problems recovering from deeper on the lane. Even has I went to about 22 at the arrows and going to about 13 at the arrows I used a little stronger release and still got RBC back very easily. On VIPER, I played RBC in a little going 15 to 10 with it, using a up the back release and the RBC Easily matched a friends VG NANO Pearl, I was starting about two boards left of where he was. Overall on the pattern the NANO Pearl had a touch more length and was more angular, my RBC was about 2 feet earlier but, still rolled all the way through the deck with no problem. HIT/CARRY: RBC keeps pins low on the deck when moving deep messengers coming across are very common. Carry is very good ten just gets ripped out by the six and four pins are rare even on high hits. COVERSTOCK: Is very strong easily one of the strongest Pearls I have ever owned. This cover is very adjustable. When I first got it the OOB surface was not for me. I knocked the polish off it, took it down to 500 abralon then put a coat of Motiv Power Gel Polish and it made all the difference in the world. RBC jumped to life. I love the read off the spot, so consistent never any surprises yet when I need to get in and hook it I make a simple hand adjustment and the it is like a whole different ball. Still controllable but is has a different gear as I mentioned above. OVERALL: Great ball, IMO one of the most versatile high end bowling balls on market, it can be used successfully on many different patterns on many different lines. The RBC is a easily on par with VG NANO Pearl.

SPECS:65X5X70 OOB Surface with slight touch of a 4000 abralon pad. Shoreveiw Lanes: Synthetic Lanes about two years old. We bowl on just the THS pretty good volume more than what you see in most houses. This Review picks up after the second round of match play. track was burning out really bad. Grabbed the RBC and was able to play far straighter than any of the other power players left in the tourney. Going 13 out to 5-6 got easy push through the front of the lane and RBC got to the break point very easily. Move off the spot was consitent and smooth very easy to read. RBC rolled all the way through the deck, very good carry. As they continued to dry out I continued moving in and the ball kept its read the rest of the night. COMPARE: To my first RBC (RBC1) drilled 35x4 1/4x70 surface is 500 abralon with a coat of motiv power gel polish. RBC1 is about 4-5 feet earlier and more a bit more angular off the spot. RBC1 is far more suited to heavier volumes as it sees action on Viper, Scorpion once transition starts, the Mens Open Pattern, and Meduim/heavy THS Patterns. RBC2 is longer and smoother, I can play far closer to friction with it and not worry about it jumping off the spot. COMPARE:To BlackOut Drilled 35x6x35 OOB surface RBC2 is earlier and smoother off the spot than the BlackOut. RBC2 can be used to play the same volume as BlackOut but straighter. When Moving in on a Meduim Volume or a broken down pattern BlackOut is my choice. When I need to play straighter or the lanes are getting really jumpy RBC2 is my choice. HIT/CARRY: The same as the other balls in the in the Horn Core Series. Carry is tremendous six pin rips the ten in half on all hits. Lights hits send pins flying in all dierections caves in buckets more often than not. Like any other ball in this line or produced by this company if it hits the 1-3 the pins go down light or heavy, going around the corner or up the boards, if you have a ton of hand or no hand at all this ball WILL knock pins down.
