- Description: Paragon core was designed with two intentions. First, lower the RG to create a faster revving core that will provide improved mid-lane traction. And second, raise the RG differential to increase the track flare potential which will generate more overall hook with standard layouts and the use of interchangeable thumb sleeves. Coverstock: The Wild Thing utilizes ConneXion coverstock known for its unbelievable traction response from foul line to head pin. The aggressive connection of the Wild Thing to the lane surface inspires confidence in the ball reaction that allows bowlers to play the lanes the way they want to. Ball Motion: The Wild Thing and its new ultra low RG core system improves the adhesion of ConneXion coverstock to accelerate the response to friction and turn its attack loose on the pins. This core/coverstock combination allows the Wild Thing to generate a shape never seen before in the Brunswick line. Wild Thing… I Think I Love You !!

Like bowling on auto pilot By John from Pittsburgh, Pa.
Reviewed on: 11/18/2009 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design Cons:No cons Best Uses:Upgrade Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I purchased "Wild Thing" exclusively for the increased hook potential, it performed up to my expectations with much less effort than other balls I have used. If you are looking for a quicker break point this is the ball you're looking for, it packs a great punch with little effort at 12 to 14 mph. Was this review helpful to you?

The Wild Thing is the Thang! By K-Dog from San Antonio, TX
Reviewed on: 10/4/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I purchased the wild Thing on Saturday morning, bowled in a tourmanent with it on Saturday afternoon right out of the box and qualified to the finals of the tournament. The ball rolls like poetry in motion. Great hitting power, nice arc, and a consistent roll. I simply love it! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Great buy at this price! By JJ from Texas City, Tx
Reviewed on: 9/20/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I bowl in an older house that has natural lanes. This ball works great inside or out, depending on lane conditions. It sounds like a bomb goes off when you hit the pocket with this ball. Was this review helpful to you?

Take A Look at this Ball By Lexman from Forsyth, Montana
Reviewed on: 1/11/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface Cons:None Best Uses:Tournaments, Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Very Nice Ball. I have a mid to lower revs on my throws and this ball gives me great action. Not only does it smash the pins, it drives thru the pins without rolling out like other balls I have used. I am using this ball in factory 4000 grit surface & gonna buy another one & drill the same & get it done in a 2000 grit finish, so I will have 2 exact same balls with one having a tad bit more hook and earlier break. You have to try this ball to see how good it is!!! WILD THING...I think I love yah!!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
