Ball: having my other freakazoid drilled more for length, I wanted to try to get this one into a roll a bit sooner. I drilled this one 3 1/4 x 4, I left the surface box

Lane Conditions: 38ft buffed to 44ft, heavy oil in the middle and it tapers as it goes to the outside, wood lanes

Line: I tried this Freakazoid all over the lane, I had a decent shot in most places, but I decided that for tonight the best line was going to be taking a bit of hand out of the ball and playing straight up the boards...between 11 and 9 boards. I also had a good line playing deep inside, but the straighter line was taking out the corners better tonight.

Reaction: Comparing it to Freakazoid #1, this one gets into a roll much sooner, probably 4-5 ft sooner. Getting into an early roll does not make the FaZ lose anything on the backends. The transition from skid, roll, hook is smooth throughout for this ball.

Impact: Same same here as with FaZ #1.....strong hit, and the pins stay low. Playing straighter if I let up even a hair the ball was going high.....but it kept the pins so low that I was able to trip the 4 pin on probably 6 shot tonight.

Readability: Watching the smooth transition of FaZ #2, this ball would be a very good ball to read the lanes with. I have stated many times before that I really love smooth reacting balls to read the lanes with. Most of the time they allow you to see the transition from heavy oil to buffed oil to dry backends. FaZ#2 gives just that.

Overall: The Freakazoid is a ball that I believe will please most any bowler and bowling style. It seems alot like the Sheer Havoc to me in that it does what you drill it to do. Drill it for length and it will give it to you, drill it for early roll and you will get that reaction. A definate winner from Track. In my other mini on the FaZ...I stated this was not a release I was overly excited about....and with each I have found a ball that makes an awesome first ball out of the bag kind of ball.

Once more games are put on it I will post a final review

DW....read my first freakazoid mini

With the thought that coverstock is a vast majority of the reaction a ball will have, I would say yes, you can get similiar length. I would not worry about the Freakazoid not finishing strong enough. It will probably not jump as strong off of the dry as the Crash.

I would say give it a try. I didn't expect the kind of reaction out of the first FaZ that I got, I expect it to be a bit more tame. You can see it get into a good roll, but it still finished strong. It will have the length that the pattern will allow it.

I hope this helps, if not let me know and I will try to word it a different way.

Thanks Guys,
I polished the FAZ and it pushed extremely easy but the backend is still huge. The Crash is still better for med to light. I tried 4 Dry Heats and I can't get them to roll off of the fingers. I really need a pearl in the spot under the Crash. Again, Thanks for letting me bounce ideas off everyone.
