This is a real oldie.
Been sittin around my garage for about a year. Near 4 inch pin out, mass bias shifted off line to the right and just below cg.
A quick aside a friend of mine had always told me, "I'd like to see you drill up the Wrath!".
Well now I have.
Pin right above the ring finger about 1/2 inch and cg dead center of grip and mass bias out near track. A 125 degree drilling. (trying to lessen the midlane in this very light application house for a hard revving low rg core).
Drilling would also be called 5 1/4 X 5 1/2. Pin to pap and cg to pap.
This ball was white padded and brought to a high gloss with black magic.
Of all the balls on this long very thin application on the left this was second best to a hot wire. Compared to a V2 pearl which I am quite fond of I notice these differences.
V2 pearl revs a little harder (V2 is at 2000 and El Nino at 1000 both polished)
V2 has a stronger pin and cg so it has a touch more midlane.
Backend for both balls is strong slightly angular and energetic with lots of action. In addition the core orientation of 125 for the Wrath and more like 60 degrees for the V2 are a big difference in midlane on this touchy shot!
This ball is everything I thought it would be in that it revs hard but penetrates down the lane well because of the harder older style pearl coverstock(hardness much higher than today's triple X). Like 77 to 74 on durometer.
This ball is still seen often in our saving money on oil area where proprietors feel that oil on the left is a luxury they can't afford and don't need to.
(I mean there aren't many to complain).
Used by both lefties and righies I can see why. This ball reminds me greatly of a slightly longer crimson red sledgehammer in move rev, flip and hit!
Truly probably a best of breed that has lots of application today!
Fits almost right in between an X factor and Triple X as far as flippiness. Slightly longer than both due to the higher hardness factor. And let me tell you this sucker carries in relation to its deceptive but pinging brother in law the El Nine - O! solid.
If you bowl on thin long applications this ball may be the ticket due to it's old style skidability(is that a word). Leaves nothing to be desired in relation to other great ones in this slot(low rg pearls, Wired, V2 pearl, Triple X). May be better than all by a skinch!

PS I'd rate this right up there with the impressive V2 pearl and may actually move ahead of it into my bag in this slot. 2nd to 3rd ball up from bottom for dryer medium shots!
PPS I'm looking for another used one!
