Wild Card - Demo day experience
« on: November 02, 2009, 12:36:32 AM »
First off, I'd like to say that I'm mainly a Storm guy but I'm always looking at other companies.  I don't have much brand loyalty, just like to throw what works.  Brunswick stuff usually reads way too early for me.  Hooks to much if I square up, and never makes the corner when I move in.  I have a very high rev rate and pretty high ball speed.

Got a chance to throw the new Brunswick stuff at the Demo Day in Vernon Hills, IL yesterday.  I tested the C System, Wild Card, and Python.  I had thrown the Siege and Wild Thing, Wild Ride previously.  The Siege was OK, and the WT and WR were awful for me.  

I was extremely impressed by the Wild Card.  This ball game me a great midlane read with predictability out of the pattern and heavy roll through the pin deck.  I can see this being a real winner on harder patterns assuming there is adequate volume in the fronts and mids.  I can't wait to drill my first Big B ball in quite some time.

For those asking about the C-System... the ball rolled at 30 feet for me.  In it's defense, I rarely like asymmetrical cores AND the ball was drill too strong for me.  I should have tested the lefty drill of the ball.  I think it might be good for straighter players with higher speeds and/or a lower rev rate.
