Just got my new Wild Thing drilled Friday night just before league. I mean my ball driller handed it to me during warm ups. Did not get a shot with it. But decided to try it anyway. Too much oil 1st game and I switched back to my Diamondback. Now I was really messed up and could not convert anything. 61 pins below avg.
Game 2 I moved right with the WT and really took off. Finished with 231. Game 3 stayed with the same line and had a 255. Best game I have shot in some time. For me looks like the WT is the ball for games 2 & 3. My DB (4000) or Blast Zone (2000 + polish) for game 1. The WT has a great look down the lane like none of my other Big B balls. Got-a love it.

Mine is definitely a favorite. On fresh I just move slightly closer to friction, but this ball for me really recovers great.

I have drilled alot of different brand balls for customers and a few for myself. I will say one thing.....the Wild Thing has to be one of the most underrated balls on the market. This ball just has awesome carry and lane coverage. I have drilled several for team members and they are all shooting some of their highest series for their careers. My bro-in law just shot a 770 with his last week.... Wish I would have purchased more of them. Quite the sleeper !!!!

Mine rolls great. Drilled it on a leverage pattern. It is clean through the heads with a very strong and consistent finish on the backends. Usually on the first game if they have a little more oil I can still throw it I just have to keep my speed down.
