- Wild Ride

First Impressions
With the Wild Ride, Brunswick brings a fascinating new development to market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Ride Core, which with a 2.55 RG and a 0.042 differential ensures very clean motion through the front portions of the lane. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The surface, with a polished finish, supports this characteristic massively by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later, sharper changes of direction. The technical match between core and cover is exceptionally harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Wild Ride to the Storm Tropical Surge, the glaring differences in backend reaction jump out right away. The Storm Tropical Surge tends to read slightly earlier, while the Wild Ride holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then responds noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal once the Tropical Surge starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, the Wild Ride offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Tropical Surge no longer generates enough drive, since it creates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been played on a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which delivers maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball lets you systematically move further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It works excellently on medium to dry conditions and is an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, quick-responding surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on misses out to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
