Well boys and girls, looks like this could be a ball that lives up to the hype!!

Drilled my Alpha Max pin down, under the ring finger, because the last few balls I have drilled were pin over the fingers. CG/MB strong, positive, but no extra hole. I hit it lightly with some rough buff, as I knew I could not throw this ball with the factory finish where I bowl league at. (Brunswick synthetics, typical house pattern, slight OB/hang outside of 6) I bowled a couple games before league and started with the Wicked Seige, shot 246 with this ball. The Alpha Max was only about 3 and 2 stronger, but it handled the puddle in the middle much better. Shots that were missed left would be 2 pins or buckets with the Wicked Seige were strikes or ring 10 pins with the Alpha Max.

278 with a 10 pin in the 4th and a solid 9 on the fill ball. Ball missed the 9 pin by a good 3 inches, this ball was going sideways!!! 255, 258 the last two. Only moved about 4-5 boards all night, and this ball made the corner no problem. I think Brunswick has finally made a ball that can be used for heavy oil, but still has some bite on the back end, without hooking at your toes. $50 rebate to the customer isn't terrible either.

Let the flames of my figjam commence....

Wicked with a little surface to it would be really great on some flatter patterns (for me). My ball speed is medium and the surface would keep the ball from going sideways down lane. Probably something pin down too. Alpha Max pin over the fingers with some polish, I think will be the THS BEAST!!! Wicked Seige reminds me so much of the Zone Classic. Had at least three of those, shot big scores with all of 'em. Right now, it's the first ball out of my bag and then I ball up or down from there. If I didn't have the 916AT, I probably would have left the Alpha Max at box surface. I'm trying to create an arsenal, and not drill everything the same, as I'm just getting back in the shop biz, and everything I have/had is 3-5 years old.

Mike,

Thanks for your reply. You bring up a really good point. The Alpha is a solid, isn't it? I have nothing but pearls in my bag since retiring the Ultimate Inferno. Might be a good idea to get a solid. I just hate messing with polishes as I don't have a spinner.
