Animal Untamed and Sheer Havoc in April BTM
« on: April 18, 2004, 11:35:03 PM »
The ratings are out for these 2 balls. I do not buy much into what BTM says in its ratings(NUMBERS). I try more to pay attention to what they say about the ball. I will list a few of the numbers.

In a NUTSHELL

Animal Untamed: Strong off of the breakpoint. Same backend potential as the Unleashed (I have to assume this is a little off, primarily because you are talking reactive vs particle).
OVERALL: Their comments are....As with all of Track's high performance  bowling balls, this one needs oil. High performance always means lots of power and hook when you're talking about a Track ball. Stick to lane conditions that have oil upfront to be successful with the Animal Untamed.

Length: 12
Backend: 15
Total Hook: 49

SHEER HAVOC: What I see from their comments is that this ball is very versatile. "It will cover more conditions than most balls on the market".
OVERALL: IF you bowl on wetter conditions we recommend drilling this ball more aggressively. Those that bowl on drier conditions should consider using drill patterns with the pin further from their PAP. This ball will be useful on most patterns, no matter how it is drilled.

Length: 14.5
Backend: 16
Total Hook: 40



I am debating if I should commment on the core shapes.



OK, I'll tell ya. The core on the Sheer Havoc CLOSELY resembles that of the Assassin.....and this makes me very happy, because I loved that ball.

The Animal Untamed's core is a little more difficult to explain, but I will give it a go: Same BODY shape as the Freak, Mutant, SF.....It has the "wing" flip blocks like the SF did....but they are on the right side of the core and has one of the half circle blocks on the bottom left of the core. VERY INTERESTING.....however, I was hoping it would be pearl reactive, and it says nothing of that in the review.

havoc = resin
sheer havoc = particle

two different shells, two different weight blocks and both can be drilled differently enough to complement the other.
