WOW ! The Freakshow Solid . I was very very suprised and pleased with the Freakshow solid with the amount of hook and ball motion it gives you at this price point.
Compaired to my Freakshow I am honestly 12 boards left of where I stand with my Freakshow. The Freakshow solid's Low RG/High Differential symmetric core combined with the Class 8 Solid Reactive coverstock I saw a very strong hook motion on Med - Med Heavy oil.
I gave me more room for error right than my original Freakshow. It comes off the breakpoint very strong and more continuation than I have seen at any ball in this price point.
Freakshow solid is going to be a ball I use when the lanes are fresh and then as they transition I can go to my Freakshow.
This is a must have ball in your arsenal. If you want hook that will not break your wallet, get the Freakshow Solid.

Now there are a few versions of Class 8 Reactive. Originally when the Nightmare came out, there was just the solid. Now they have Class 8 Solid and Class 8 Hybrid.

The Class 8 Reactive cover is used on numerous DV8 balls dating back to the DV8 Nightmare, Brutal Nightmare , Ruckus and so on.
But the Class 8 and Class 8 Reactive are the same. Used on Solid coverstocks. There is a Class 8 Reactive Hybrid which is different. Hope this helps.
