I would say the united, more versatile and more useable overall, and it picks up a little sooner, where's the Fear, and a little later with abbot more angle down lane, and can't be used on as many conditions as the united.

The fear also didn't live up to the hype after the famous red ball just my 2 cents.

Amen to that in which the Fear doesn't live up to the hype after the Rage. I had the Rage and LOVED it. I bought the Fear and gave the Rage to my oldest Son. One of the worst mistakes I ever made concerning bowling equipment. Wish I had my Rage back, but there is no chance as my Son loves it as much as I did.

That's too bad brick, I even considered getting a fear, so GLAD I didn't. Hope you can find another one.

Primal fear saved my season.  As long as you have a decent amount of volume up front the ball is a winner.

This was my first higher end Motiv ball, and I couldnt be happier how well it rolls, and continues through the pins.

The Fear for me needs lots of oil up front.  If not in the bag it goes.

I was tapping left and right with my Fear when I first got it, but after additional polishing, it's quickly becoming my go to ball on medium to medium heavy shots.

The United is still in box finish, but it's a very heavy rolling, early ball that I have not used much yet. It might need some surface work before I get much use from it.

Saw the united in person last night...Can't say I am compelled to get one.

Guy has a tribal, a first blood, and united now. It only hooks more off the spot which made his look uncontrollable. He said it was too dry but wouldn't bag it. We'll see next week!

If you don't use it, it'll go bad.
