Mastermind Brainiac

This ball is a beast. Hands down the best ball in the mastermind series yet. You can start with it on fresh and chase the pattern left or if your lost go right to it and it blends the pattern out. If your looking for an all around ball then you want to pick one of these up. The layout on my mastermind brainiac is 58 x 4 7/8 x 39. Clean throught the front with a tiny midlane read and a smooth transiton off the pattern. 44ft, 37ft and in between. <iframe width="420" height="315" src=" https://www.youtube.com/embed/jl53YFUVZQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Normally, the go long, snap hard look doesn’t match up to my game (Mystic Aura comes to mind). However, this ball has made me a believer that I can succeed with this ball shape. Believe the hype with this ball. It turns harder than any ball I’ve ever thrown. One of my favorite things about this ball is that when it does make the turn, it appears to actually speed up, not slow down like all the other stuff out there, which is really impressive, especially when it hits the pins. I laid this one out very similar to my Mastermind Einstein, and it fits perfectly between it and my Fortera Exile. I compared the Brainiac to three different balls: Mastermind Einstein, Fortera Exile, and the Mystic Aura. Compared to the Einstein, it was a little cleaner through the fronts, and had the same overall hook as the Einstein, but it was all in the back. There would be times when the Einstein wouldn’t just tip the corner, and instead of balling up, I attributed it to the ball grabbing a bit too soon. So I switched to the Brainiac and it would come off the spot properly. Compared to the Fortera Exile, I would say these balls are very similar, except the Brainiac isn’t as sensitive to the oil as the Fortera Exile is. If your Brainiac is hooking a bit too soon, ball down to the Fortera Exile and you don’t even need to make a move; the Fortera Exile will pick up where the Brainiac left off. I decided to compare this to the Mystic Aura because it was the last ball that I had that fit into the ball motion description that the Brainiac is trying to fill. For me, it’s no contest, the Brainiac is leaps and bounds better than the Mystic Aura. While a lot of people had success with the Mystic Aura, I had limited, but everyone I see throwing the Brainiac is having success.
