Title: Wicked Siege Review
Post by: bannachb on October 24, 2010, 02:47:31 AM
I received my Wicked Siege Tuesday and drilled it up Friday night.  

First a few stats on me:
Right Handed
20 MPH (initial release)
500 RPM
(Both measured on CATS system at Kegel Training Center)
PAP 5 7/16" over and 1 1/16" Up

While I have a high RPM my speed greatly out weighs my revs (and gets me in trouble at times).  

Wicked Siege drilled 45x5 1/2"x35

I was able to use the Wicked Siege for the first time Saturday on a very slick Scorpion pattern in a scratch tournament.  During practice and the first game I was able to play straight down 11 board.  The Wicked Siege was able to read the midlane very well.  It revved up fast and made a very controlled move to the pocket.  I started with a 256 out of the box first game.  However once the oil started to carry down I had to put this ball away.  With my ball speed, it did not have enough to get through the heavy volume of Scorpion once it carried down.

I can see I will be loving this ball on 40ish foot patterns as it clears the heads very well and makes a strong controlled move on the backed.  

I will be using it on the USBC white pattern and Dick Weber pattern later this week and will post reviews on how it reacts on those patterns later this week.
