well here's another question for the track guys.  i'm looking for someone who owns both of these balls and can let me know the difference between these two pieces of equipment, what shots they're good at, angles they play, and versatility.  i'm a higher speed, higher rev player and any advice on these two balls would be appreciated.

There is a night and day difference between these 2 balls. FOR ME the Threat reacted much more like a reactive than a particle, and went much further down the lane than the Freak Out. The Freak Out had unbelieveable backend reaction, and definately hit MUCH harder than the Threat.

The FreakOut will be much more useable than the Threat on a wider variety of conditions. Most bowlers will be able to use the FreakOut on everything except the driest of conditions, and most oily conditions.
