Title: Storm Frantic Vs. Roto Grip Wrecker?
Post by: bowlingman817 on August 30, 2013, 09:10:13 PM

Hey Guys and Gals, just trying to get some feedback on which is a better all around ball. They seem to be pretty close with their cover and core combos. Was planning on ordering one of these by the end of next week. Which one would be stronger overall? Give me some feedback with your personal experience on one or both of these balls.  I'll be waiting............

Both balls are nearly identical in strength.  I have a Frantic and absolutely love it.  That ball is going to be clean up front, gives you a good amount of length, and will be angular in the back.   It's very good when the lanes start to burn up but have found it useful on a variety of longer and/or some heavier volume patterns.  The Hy-Road cover with the N.O.S. Core is tough to beat.

The Wrecker is going to be similar and it has a great cover/core combo as well.  Having thrown the Rising Star in the past, I can say that the Neutron Core does a great job of storing energy and carrying well.  The difference here is that the Wrecker will go longer than the Frantic and be even more angular.  It's more of the skid/flip ball.  The Wrecker is also a little cleaner up front.

Both balls are great.  If you want a slightly earlier read with keeping more of an arc reaction, go with the Frantic.  If you want a hockey stick skid/flip reaction with a later read, go with the Wrecker.

Tommyboy74's description for the wrecker is about spot on.  Ofcourse theres a few technical guys on here that are gunna spew out numbers this and that...but hes about dead on!

Rumble is a solid <dull> version of the Wrecker.  The Wrecker would be a lot stronger at the breakpoint than the Rumble.

The rumble has a different core then the wrecker so not the dull version of it. The shooting star would be the dull version. I'd definitely go with wrecker, amazing ball!
