Wondering which of these would have the more angular backend, and how they compare to each other, especially on synthetic lanes.  Which would be better at handling some carrydown?  I'm really impressed by the Brunswick video of the Wild Thing.  That ball just seems to left turn and really rocks the pins.  The Rattler vids I've seen make that ball look really good also.  

I'm down to deciding between these two Brunswick balls and possibly the new Rotogrip Nomad & Nomad Pearl, depending on how reports are on them when they come out.

IME the Wild Thing is *much* stronger than the Rattler, say five-and-three stronger with both balls in box finish.  The Wild Thing revs up very quickly, while the Rattler is cleaner through the front and early midlane.  I can use my Wild Thing when the condition is tighter, but I really can't pull the Rattler out of the bag until there is a defined area of friction.

I vowed not even looked at Brunswick after the wild ride, but I must admit the wild thing looks good. I would like to see someone else throw it besides the brunswick staffer though. Looks darn good!

Hmm..Lets see what I have in this bag...some magic, some hot sauce, a rogue cell,a liberator, and a saw.. how can I loose....

....HG-300(2006 w/Desert Heat)...299 (03/15/09 w/Agent Orange)...HS-776 (Hot Sauce Pearl & Ebonite Magic)

Thanks for the replies.  For those of you that have thrown the Wild Thing, are you leaving it at OOB, or have you had to change the surface, and if so, what did you change it to, and why?

Ray, get that new ball out of the box and drill it.  How can you tell if you like it if you still have it in the box and undrilled.  Just kidding.  I have yet to get one of the newer balls, but they look really good.  I am a long time brunswick user of bowling balls.  Keep up making those good bowling balls BIG B!
