Likes: I threw my Yeti Unleashed in league this pasted Sunday (March 16, 2014) and the ball was awesome. League shot this week as a little tighter than it had been in the previous weeks (at least on the left-hand side) but extra oil did stand a chance against my Yeti Unleashed. The ball cleared the front part of the lane with easy while retaining/storing up enough energy to drive hard into the pocket. I stood on 9, played up 5 and watched the ball go down the lane to my breakpoint and then peel off the spot demolishing the pocket. I highly recommend this ball to anyone looking to Unleash their inner strike!!! Layout: Motion hole with the pin-up with a light hit of an 800 pad.

What a symmetrical MONSTER. Ball clears the heads very well though for a monster. As long as there is some volume, you can stand left and wheel it. It's more hook and more continuous than the Untamed. I don't think I've ever had a ball that could take surface and be that continuous. I have used it on Badger with 500 ab pad and 4000 ab pad on house shots when I want to be left of everyone on my pair.
My axis point is 4 3/4 x 5/8 so this is about 4.5" pin up. What a MONSTER!!!!!!

Yeti Unleashed drilled 40 x 4 3/4 x 70
This ball flat out motors on fresh oil patterns. Using this layout allows me to keep a strong continual motion to the pocket and drives pins with tons of energy. One thing to consider is being mindful of burning in your track as it could get over aggressive. If this happens, I would recommend switching to the Yeti Untamed.

COMMENTS
Likes: Its ability to be the most aggressive symmetrical bowling ball out today. It never stops hooking. Even on heavy volume sport patterns this ball will still turn the corner. It takes surface changes very well.
Dislikes: You have to know when to put it away and take out the Yeti Untamed. These 2 are perfect compliments for each other.

Another great relase in the Yeti lineup. The Unleashed is the strongest ball in the Yeti lineup and is my go to ball on heavier patterns when the Guru is too strong. I drilled it with the Pin in the ring finger which puts the pin about 4.5" from my PAP. This ball and layout combination gives me a strong mid-lane read and a controlled backend reaction. I am amazed that I don't see more bowlers in the area throwing this ball. Radical is churning out some great equipment and if you aren't throwing them, you are missing out.

Likes: This ball is special. The strength of the cover allows it to be used best on medium to higher volumes. I have had success using it on league conditions but its best use is on difficult tournament conditions. It makes a smooth strong shape and goes through the pins very well. The shape allows me to stay out of trouble and avoid splits and when it matches up this one can string a lot of strikes together. This one is by far my favorite ball in the lineup for tournament bowling.

The Yeti line uses the most drilling versatile core ever designed due to the Finger Scoop. The Yeti Unleashed is by far the strongest of all the balls with the Yeti core since it has an extremely strong cover stock. This ball will tackle all the heavy oil conditions you'll find with the right layout.
I drilled mine 75/4/35 and it hooked a bunch. I still needed a little more hook so I added the Double Thumb weight hole and WOW did I see more hook. The ball is now a flare monster that I have never seen before. The flare rings in oil seem to never end. The strength and versatility are unlike anything else available at the price. If you are looking for hook without spending Top Shelf money, look no further. This is the strongest symmetrical ball ever made.
