Title: Zone Classic vs. Wild Ride?
Post by: Matt Fortney on January 27, 2010, 05:21:13 AM
Are these two close in overall shape? If the two were drilled identical, how much of a difference would I see? And generally, thoughts on the wild ride?

The Wild Ride has a stronger cover, in my opinion. The WR core seems to suit those with more "hand", but works well with other bowlers as long as you lay it out strong.
I also don''t recommend using the changeable thumbs on this one. If you use the changeable thumb inserts, then the Wild Thing (due to the more forgiving core) is a better option.
As far as overall shape I suppose the right bowler and conditions might make the 2 look somewhat alike.

IME they're close, but the Classic seems to start up quicker, and grab the midlane just a bit harder.  In contrast, the Wild Ride is a touch sharper at the break.

For me, the Evil Siege is closer to the Classic in terms of reaction than the Wild Ride.
