Wrecker or Uproar? Help me decide.
« on: February 18, 2014, 09:36:33 AM »
Hey, guys. I'm gonna buy a Wrecker or an Uproar from Bowling.com, but I'm having trouble picking.
The Wrecker is obviously really popular, but I've heard amazing stuff about the Uproar.
Any ideas?
I guess if you need to know my style, I throw 450+ revs, 18mph, sarge easter.

what do you want the ball to do? If you want something flippy I would go Wrecker. If you want something a little smoother go with the Uproar. At least that seems to be the common word among those who have thrown both. I had a Wrecker for a little bit and it was very angular

I would like something flippy. Typically, I never throw angular balls, but I'm interested in trying one out.

Howdy. I just purchased a Wrecker last week @ my Pro Shop. Nice and long and through the mid-lane, but really turns hard when it hits the dry in front of the pins. I'm going to have to figure this one out without a doubt. I went back to my HyRoad to finish out my league and threw a 221. I don't believe I've ever thrown a ball such as the Wrecker that turns so strong near the end.  :-\

Both balls are flippy. Wrecker is just going to give you more flip. Uproar is going to have the edge in length but the Wrecker is going to be more versatile. Honestly, get both. One to play off the other.

The wrecker for me was very angular. Something you could open up the lane with. The uproar is longer and smother than my shatter. Which was smoother than the wrecker. The uproar is going to be a great fresh ths ball that u can play fairly straight but have a strong move and continuation through the pins. I think it will have a strong enough move to overcome some carry down. Since I've gotten mine I've seen our driller drill three or four including one for himself.
