I’m going to call it now. Wild Streak will roll like the Fight from Storm. Love the colors though! 2.6 RG is stupid high, but might try it just because of the colors haha.

Not much interest in the MVP Pearl. Not a fan of the colors or a pearl that low end.

I think they were hoping more like the Nomad but we shall see I guess.  Core is not quite as obnoxious as the Fights.

As far as the Wild Streak with the high RG  and a 3000 grit solid, where would that type of ball fit on THS during league nights?

For some, it can be in play on the fresh and be used the whole night, maybe 2 games minimum with a layout that matches your game. Some of my favorite balls that fit this concept include: Wipe Out (All-time favorite), Rocketship, Victory Road Solid. Obviously, the Wild Streak is gonna be more in the Show Off/Reign of Power territory, but it will still be a great ball for some. Of course, this is just my opinion and me speculating since I haven't thrown one or seen it roll.

Should fit quite well....  Big RG helps the ball get down the lane, and you know its gonna have a big cover, so   length and pop on the back end.. Whats not to like???

High speed and low Revs... yah... you will prob hate this ball unless you bowl on really dry lanes.

My MVP is stronger than my Intense.  so.. not sure i would consider the MVP line a low end ball.

Yeah, the MVP Pearl looks like a Hywire . . so "weak" is definitely not a word that can be used to describe the MVPs

Intense is probably burning up then. Don’t get me wrong, I know they punch above their class. I just know I’ll pick up my Hyroad Pearl when the time comes haha.

Just emailed Schlem about the Wild Streak as I am really curious about this ball since it looks like a different ball then what is out there.

He mentioned "As far as the Wild Streak is concerned… it is a brand new Weightblock Design and a brand new cover. The cover is along the same chemistry as the Phaze II. So there is a chemical additive which makes it different than the Nano particle we use in the MicroTrax cover.  So the SureTrax cover is cleaner than MicroTrax, but not as responsive to friction as the eTrax."

Very interesting if it is the same/similar cover to the phaze 2. He also mentioned they will be posting videos sometime next week of it and that staffers should be getting their hands on some soon. Hoping this will be a good ball!
