For me the Wild Thing is an absolute monster on fresh conditions with clean backends. It''s like the Vapor Zone (a favorite of mine) on steroids.

The C-system is good on fresh, but better when the pattern starts to get ugly. The cover grips the lane and cuts through carry-down better than any pearl I''ve ever thrown. The "friction" is not hype, but very real. If I''m going to use it on higher friction surfaces it needs a bit of polish to excel.

Both balls can cover a lot of area when used on the right conditions. For the average bowler who sees fresh conditions the majority of the time I''d give the nod to the Wild Thing.

The Wild Thing is snappier than the C System 2.5 on the fresh condition.  The C System 2.5 is lengthier with more of a driving hard arc and more overall hook than the Wild Thing.  The difference between the two balls is that the C System 2.5 becomes better as the lane transitions, loves trash down lane, and excels at carrying the pins when other ball simply won't.
