For those of you that are in the know, would the Wild Ride and Rattler be a good 1 2 punch to start with?

The coverstock of the Wild Ride handles oil better than the Destruction. Most notibly when oil carries down and the Destruction (or other balls) start to have that wiggle look downlane.

The reaction of the Wild Ride reminds me a lot of the Strike Zone, only without the wiggle in the front part of the lane. Also, the Wild Ride doesn't have the same inside limitation that I encountered with the Strike I could get my feet left, and still get recovery and continuation.
The Rattler was a pleasant surprise. From what I'd read and heard about this ball, I expected a skid-flip monster. What I got was a reaction that was a lot like the old Zone reaction from the late 90s--clean in front, midlane revs, and smooth continuation into the back end.
I'm thinking that these two would be great tournament pieces, and that I'll be able to retire my Red Zone and Fury Pearl once and for all.
I'll post more comprehensive reviews as soon as I get the chance to try them at a few other centers.

How did you lay out your Rattler and did you leave it in box finish? I am getting one in the near future and wanted a similar roll/reaction.

I also left the ball in box finish, and I'll stay with the box surface at least until I get the chance to throw the Rattler at a few other centers.

I know they aren't out yet but I was thiking about buying both of them for a buddy of mine. My buddy just had all his bowling stuff stolen and I wanted to do something nice for his birthday. He really likes Brunswick stuff so I figured this would be a nice suprise.
For those of you that are in the know, would the Wild Ride and Rattler be a good 1 2 punch to start with?
Want to buy me a ball or two?

Just to let you all know the ball is out at this moment, at least at the proshop I frequent has them. I just seen them yesterday. for what its worth the rattler looks nice, lol
My guy has them too, but not on the shelf. They are both nice looking. My immediate response is they look like the Vapor Zone.

Sounds like the OI to me .....
Not sure I'd go quite that far. For me, the original Inferno had more midlane and was smoother in back, while the Rattler picks up as it goes down the lane. It's sneaky strong in back, but not flippy.
I still have a NIB original Inferno in the closet, maybe I'll drill it up and do a side-by-side.

I'd like to hear from one of the Brunswick reps on here what the recommended cleaning is for this new cover stock. I like things to last and am more than willing to put forth the correct effort.
Thanks in advance. Jon

I threw my Wild ride for the 2nd time last night. Freshly oiled anvilane (lower friction) surface. THIS MIGHT POSSIBLY BE THE BEST BALL I'VE EVER HAD!
I've never seen a pearl that can negotiate the oil better, or give me so much room on the lanes as this one.
Rattler is a few boards cleaner through the heads and makes a BIG turn, too, so after I've moved inside as far as I want to go with the Wild Ride, I can go to the Rattler and have fun with it. These two are great releases.

Just keep it clean after each set before going home, after 60-80 games have the oil extracted in the Revivor or Rejuvenator.

Maybe this has been asked but how would a Wild Ride compare to a Vapor Zone?
I've only thrown the Wild Ride a few times, but I can say that it is somewhat cleaner through the first 20 to 25 feet of the lane, and is sharper at the break than the Vapor was for me. Also, because of its earlier burn, the Vapor had an "inside limitation" for me if I had to get inside of about third arrow with it, I couldn't get it to retain well enough to hit. The Wild Ride doesn't seem to have this problem it's recovered from everywhere I've tried to throw it so far.
