The Wrath XP features the same core as its partner the Wrath with a stronger coverstock, the NEW STS XP™ (Stuff That Strikes ? X-tra Power), designed to combat medium to heavy oil patterns for everyday bowlers. This coverstock/core combination gives bowlers ample hook in oil while maintaining controllability in the back half of the lane. The Wrath XP is a stunning three-color (Burgundy/Blue/Gold) ball with a 1500 sanded matte finish. Available in weights of 12 to 16 lbs.

    purchased on ebay for $50. this has turned into my go-to ball. drilled straight up with ring finger under pin...... like any ball, speed and rotation are the key, but you can get away with slowing it down and pushing it further out...... high game of 299 with this ball and the last shot was my fault not the ball's. this ball has definetly been worth the money. this ball has never tracked out, but rather continues to drive thru the pocket, hence the many solid 9s that i have left....have not tried this ball on heavily oiled lanes...will review again after nationals

    A very easy ball to control. Bowled on dry lanes and well as oily lanes. Seem to be easy to adjust from shot to shot when the lanes changed. You must let this ball do the work. Trying to force this baby in the hole is just not going to work. I just ordered another. Reminds me a little of the Power Torq. Hits like a truck. This ball is my go to. A very easy ball to control.

    I love this ball. I thought this was going to be a medium performance ball but I roll it between my powerdrive sanded and my action max. I read a lot on the rated hook and on medium lanes this ball is better. I rarely leave a post and I visit this site all the time but I had to come say that whatever you read about this ball is underated. This ball is good great for beginners and advanced alike. I bought this to replace my u-turn particle. Even though I love that ball sometimes you just need to move on. This ball was a good substitute so if you want a decent replacement for that ball try this one out. I am sure it won't be long before I am trying out the wrath reactive. Good luck to everyone.

    Excellent ball but only for medium to heavy oil conditions - I need to buy the "normal" Wrath as second ball for the use when the lanes are getting dry. Because when the lanes are starting to become dry (e.g. during a tournament) you have to change your stance very often to maximize the way (angle) of the throw. Over all, the ball raises power in the end of the lane when it comes to the back end - if I had good release the ball hit into the pins as if it is a bomb. But it is very Columbia like – if you make little mistakes at the release – the ball won’t pardon it…

    layout: 45 degree, pin under ring finger and 4 1/2" from PAP PAP=right: 4 13/16" and up: 1/2" XH is straight across from center of gripline on vertical axis line. i threw this ball in league lastnigt and it really surprised me on the way it reacted. the house is wood lanes, there is out of bounds from around 7 to the gutter and the track area tends to burn up real fast. at first i started rolling the ball from about 17-8 and it came back wonderful. as the track area went away, i had to move in and keep the ball tight (23-15) because if you went near the track area, the ball would jump way too hard. i was afraid that by playing tight and inside that i would leave a lot of corner pins, but this ball carried wonderfully. i carried some half pocket hits and tripped a couple fours. the surface of the ball allowed me to keep the ball in the oil longer and still have a strong arc motion to the pocket. this is a great ball and i am excited to try it out on different tournament conditions a

    3-4 inch Pin top weight 3 1/4 OZ Drilled for Righty I drilled this ball pin beneath ring finger, CG swung towards Axis points. CG is about 1" inch away from thumb with a Low extra hole. This ball is smoking. I would compare it to my action except the Action rolls earlier. This ball gets down the lane smoothly and arcs hard. When it hits the pocket it destroys the pins. It keeps the pins very low.. Great carry. Tonight was my 1st night rolling with it and I shot 750 on a not so good house shot.
