Surprise! Almost all mediocre reviews, and I've never seen it on the lanes.
Today I go and watch a men's league and the guy throwing 780 after 780 this month is using some Flipside ball. My friend says it's the Wicked, I said double check.
He says, "Oooops it's the Wired". Big hand, big speed, probably near 20 in the revs and 18 to 19 speed on a hard wet/dry 10 to 10 with good hold area. His high speed seems to couple very well with this core borrowed from ARC, Victory SPT and Wow pearl, but lowered rg due to titanium nugget.
Not hard to hit pocket but a lot of 4 pins, 6 pins, weak 7s. As the hold area will get one in the pocket but not right. The hard move off dry causes the slight off pocket hits. Speed looks like this guys asset.
Whether this ball could work for normal or slower speed bowlers I don't know.
But this guy made this thing play a sweet tune!
Me quite a bit slower, I'm trying the higher rg EGO.
REgards,

PS I'm also trying a 2 or 3 inch pin to pap in a 2 X 4 1/2 or 3 X 5 with another ball, not the EGO.
