Ok, I'll try and be fair.

I believe that the Morpheus core is a great core.  One of the reasons I mentioned earlier was how much I like Track cores but did not care for the Columbia coverstock.

You say unique and morpheus in the Phenom unleashed but the Morpheus core is in several more bowling balls though I know they have different layouts of the flip block etc of the Morpheus core.  I think at least the Freak Out has a quicker spin rate then the Unleashed but thats only if you bu into spin rate.  I went to one of the Warren/Pinel seminars and I don't totally buy into spin rates etc.  if spin rates were so important, then symmetrical bowling balls would be a thing of the past, yet symmetrical balls seem to be the bowling balls most praised.  The thing about spin rate is that is suppose to help make the ball very predictable and the symmetrical bowling balls are lucky to ever find a spin rate.

A .047 differential is just above average, some are pretty high like in the 80's and then they are low as 17 (probably lower).  So what.  There is just a very small amount of measurable difference between max rg and min rg and the friction rate was lowered a couple of years ago so it should get through the heads better then the hook monsters of old.  What does a core do, what measurements differences do you get from the different cores.

I did throw the Unleashed today and I can honestly say the lane conditions made it unfair to judge this ball.  It was medium short oil Christmas tree pattern.  I threw the ball box condition and the ball hooked in the heads rolled out and when it did hit the pocket, it left a weak 10.  Not the balls fault.  I think with a little more oil and a longer oil pattern this ball will be great.

The Unleashed reminds me of the Enforcer, it has the same RG, recommended lane conditions etc.  But the Enforcer was a Morpheus core.

Again I say, throw the ball, tell me how it reads the lanes and carries the pocket that makes it unique.  Don't just tell me that it has a Morpheus core and that makes it unique.  Bowling balls read the lanes early, late, the back end, the mid lane, the heads, not at all, they carry everything, keep ins low, send them high, has no messengers, has messengers flying everywhere, rolls out, skids past the break point, etc.  Ok the ball is unique because it has a Morpheus core (like the Freak, Freak Out, Mutant, Super Freak, Phenom and now the Phenom Unleashed). Its not unique.

Please keep the discussion going.  I am not slamming Track equipment, I think they have outstanding cores.

why do you want this discussion to continue? you've thrown the ball already...play on different shots and see for your self.

what more can we say after we told you that it gives us/me great lentgh, a turn like no other, and the hardest hit to create messengers, solid flush, trips or anytype of pin reaction WITH a dull surface.

i dont know if you play up the boards or anything, but i havent trying shooting this ball anywhere near the second arrow.  
with this ball, i usually stand on 30/35 depending on the condition, and cross the middle/3rd arrow, breaking near 8 i believe....so pretty much, i get alot of hand on the ball, shooting it with med. speed(16-17)...this ball crosses the entire lane for me on med-med/carrydown, mid-light if polished(havent tried it yet)....i have not played on heavy conditions with this ball yet.


I think traumabill got all the information he needs, nicanor, all you have to do is experience it for your self.  If you dont like it, then maybe it's not for you...but i like it, and i believe that it's a unique ball.

maybe track doesnt have the best cover's on the market...OH WELL!

it takes the cake for me!
