Any staffers tried the Outcry yet
« on: August 10, 2014, 06:25:44 PM »
I know it's not released yet but I wondered if anyone has tried out the Outcry yet? I am thinking of getting one for my daughter but I wouldn't mind seeing a few reviews. I've seen reviews of the other upcoming Rotogrip balls but nothing on this one

OK, I have a pin up Nomad Solid, one of the worst inconsistent balls I have ever owned.  Highly polished.

I have a pin up Uproar on the same shot.....loving it!  Pocket ownership and HIT!

I keep thinking the very high diff Nomad needs surface or pin down....?

Regards,

PS I could see me looking smart owning an Outcry!

FWIW when the nomad solid was out i was bowling almost exclusively on collegiate sport patterns and pretty much every nomad i saw at least had the polish taken off and was used as the fresh benchmark type ball and people were loving it

The Nomad Solid is my favorite ball of all time. I have thrown it at every surface imaginable and a ton if different patterns. Highly polished it was squirt on heavier oil. I have owned 3. And loved all three. No polish on any of them. I still have two of them I use at USBC. Most consistent balls I've ever thrown.

I thought the Hysteria was supposed to be very close to Nomad Solid?
to me, the Hysteria is a stronger version of the Nomad series. The roll is predictable, smooth, and continuous. This sums up the Nomad series, as well as the Hysteria and OutCry. On a ths, these balls will cover a similar amount of boards but through different motions. But when the Christmas tree is not on the lanes, the rolls differ with the Hysteria being longer and honestly morevversatile. Where as the OutCry is the ball down piece due to a weaker cover core combo.

VK1970, the Hysteria would fit above the Nomad in your arsenal, and the OutCry would be right at or just below depending on layout.

Ok cpl more questions. I need to get rid of a cpl balls. The Zero is out, I like but don't love. Would it be better to keep Disturbed with Hysteria or Hysteria and Asylum? Also how does Outcry compare to Lights Out? The Light Out is also one of my all time favorites? In over all strength and oil handling how will the hysteria compare to those two at comparable surface? The polish will be coming off for me

Now that's a toughy between choosing the Disturbed or the Asylum. If you take the surface off of the Hysteria, it would be closer to the Asylum, since the Asylum is a little longer than the Disturbed. The high rg core in the Hysteria will still give it better length than the Disturbed if they were drilled similar with the same surface. I personally was not a huge fan of the Lights Out, as it was over/under on fresh and just under on carry down for me. But the OutCry has been sooner and not as angular. So it is more of a control piece. So you could go Disturbed, Hysteria with surface, OutCry. I personally was a bigger fan of the Asylum than the Disturbed. So that decesion is yours. I hope some of this helps you.

I read a review somewhere (forgot which web site) wherein the Outcry was said to be stronger than the Rumble.  Have you all found that to be the case?
I have a Roto Grip Shooting Star (pin in ring finger).  I was thinking of picking up an Outcry but now I am concerned that if it is that strong it might be too close to the Shooting Star.  Thoughts?

I'll be honest with you.  This Outcry hooks.  It's actually really similar to my Asylum if that tells you anything.  Given, it's a smidge longer, but at box finish it still grabs.  Talk about ball for the money...  The house I bowl in is notorious for low oil volume.  The heads go quickly.  I couldn't move far enough left to get this ball to the pocket. Had to switch to a IQ tour pearl with the pin in the middle finger to get to the pocket.  Had the pro-shop add some polish on top of fresh 4000 tonight to see if I can get it to go long enough (at a different center).  I bowled a few games there on the dry-ish and had a pretty good look with it.  We'll see if that translates to my normal house on Wednesday.
