I drilled this up over the summer and just have never gotten around to reviewing it, so here it goes.
Specs:
15 lb. 3 oz.
3 oz. TW
3" pin
Drill specs:
Label leverage
Box finish
I purchased the Frenzy with the hopes of having something for medium/medium dry. Bad choice. The N Control cover is strong, a whole lot stronger than I figured. If I had known this pearl cover was this stout, I definitely would have gone with a weaker drilling (probably 4 1/2 X 4 1/2).
I've had this ball since May and have gotten to throw it on a ton of different conditions: league shots, sport shots, Vegas, etc. After all of this I can say one thing confidently...the Frenzy could well be one of the best house shot balls I've seen. Now, I want to qualify this a bit. Most house shots are in the medium range, have good head oil, and strong backends. What the Frenzy does so well is get through the first 15 and then immediately pick up the lane with a hard, but controllable read.
With my label leverage drill, I can throw the Frenzy for a long, long time on most house shots. What amazes me is that I have yet to see this ball jerk out of the dry, no matter how much head oil there is or how dry the dry is. The Monster Frenzy is the epitome of continuous motion. I can move deeper and deeper with this baby and it will make the turn. The only time it has to be bagged is when the heads are completely gone. In all honestly, the Frenzy handles carrydown as well as any pearl I've seen in a long time.
I'll be honest, I've ragged on the Big B for a long time. Over the last year or so, they have really gotten on the ball and put out some quality stuff. The Inferno and Monster series are both really quality lines. The Monster Frenzy would be an excellent medium ball for any bowler. The guys with bigger hands will love its smooth transition and power. The straighter guys will love how it gets through the front part of the lane. The tweeners, well, they'll just love it.
