The reaction I got out of this ball is awesome. Length of the Unleashed with a much stronger move at the breakpoint. I think that was simply because of the polish.

When the Animal hits the dry LOOKOUT......direct turn left(for a righty naturally). The HIT on this ball is unbelievable. I had said previously that the Mutant was hardest hitting ball I have ever used since the Morpheous core was first released-----forget that, this ball hits even harder than the Mutant. I say that, and it is the same kind of hit.....the pins fly in every direction and never the same twice in a row.

On a 44ft pattern (38 heavy, buffed to 44) I was standing 30 and playing 17 out to 7-8 board. This is 5 boards deeper than I stand with the Unleashed. I have also said previously that the Phenom was stronger than the Unleashed, but even with the compound finish, the Animal is strong than the Phenom was. Most of you will not be able to use this ball because it does hook THAT MUCH......but just apply a weaker drill and you should be alright.

So far....I am extremely happy with the Animal. Once I get some more games on it, I will post a review.

Hey EX, what does the drill pattern look like on the ball?? Where is the pin and mb located??

Angst,

My PAP is 4 7/8 lateral, and 3/4 UP. I love the drill on this ball, and the reaction it gives me. However, even with the compound finish, you cannot use this ball when the oil disappears.

This ball is awesome. I have tried it on many different lines, and it works great. VERY versatile. A slight change in hand position and release, and I can play this ball in the dry, or cover 25 boards. That said, and I have to keep making it clear, this is with the box surface on the ball. I have been very tempted to take the shine off and see what it will do-------not yet though.
