wild thing?
« on: September 02, 2009, 06:51:22 AM »
Since moving up in weight I havent been able to find a ball that reacted like my AI which was my favorite ball. The wild thing looks like the closest thing to it right now but I would like to hear some feedback from people that have thrown it and can compair the two. Thanks.

IME the Wild Thing is a few boards stronger overall than the Absolute, and has a sharper reaction at the breakpoint.

^^^^ I agree with Ray. ^^^^

With the surface at around 2000 you'll see it read somewhat more smoothly.

Last night we drilled one for a friend who had thrown 7 games all summer long. He's got plenty of ball speed so I knocked the gloss off of it. First 3 games for him with it were 770. He likes it a lot!

I was talking to my pro shop guy and he said it was the closest ball brunswick has to the AI from what he has seen and I really want to stick with brunswick. I have a rattler and a sidewinder reactive and neither one of them lets me open up the lane the way my AI did which is why I was looking at this.

I can open up the lane better with the Wild Thing than any ball in recent memory. I say go for it!

The Wild Thing definitely lets me open up the lane. It is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites.

Random thought but what about the new c-system 2.5? Would that be more of what im looking for? I know most people dont have it yet but maybe some staffers can help me out again. Thanks

It depends on what conditions you see. If you don't see much carry-down you'll probably like the Wild Thing, which is a beast whenever the backends are good.

The reports from PBA and staffers are that the 2.5 is very good on fresh, but GREAT through any carry-down. I will be drilling mine tomorrow and will start using it this week.

Probably not, if you're looking to replace an Absolute Inferno.  The Wild Thing has more of that gradual-but-continuous Inferno-like shape from front to back, while (for me, at least) the C-System is much sharper at the break and is stronger overall.

I just got back from throwing my new wild thing and im very impressed. This ball gave me a look I didnt have in my bag, it has such a strong move but it was never over under. The first game I was having trouble getting much of a reaction so I went over it with a green scotch bright by hand with little pressure and it turned into what I expected. Overall im very happy with it and I cant wait to throw it in league.
