Comments about Brunswick Wicked Siege:
Iam 15 years old and I'm a league bowler. I was bowling a 13lb Brunswick "Groove" bowling ball, and was averaging 130 for the past 2 years. I just bought a 16lb Brunswick "Wicked Siege", and bowled a 165 average out of the box. Its a very forgiving ball, you can throw it too far to the left or right by 2 boards and you can still strike. This ball also has pin destroying power that can help you get those strikes you might not usually get with other bowling balls. The bottom line, yes, I would recommend this ball no matter what level bowler you are.

Comments about Brunswick Wicked Siege:
As soon as this ball came in I was so eager to get it drilled as I have heard such great things. All the rumors on here are true. THIS BALL ROCKS. Along with the Wicked Seige I also had a Global 900 Prison Break drilled the exact same to compare and the Wicked Seige dominated the contest. Amazing how consistant on the middle of the lane it is. The back end is virtually your playground as it has the most control of any ball I've thrown to date. Played on the 2010 Mens National pattern which is HEAVY oil. It flares great, feels great and looks great crashing the pocket. First (and perhaps the only) ball I'll be bringing out of my bag for awhile. I HIGHLY RECOMEND.

Comments about Brunswick Wicked Siege:
The first time I threw this ball I had 8 in a row,threw a 9 spare then struck out.What a ball.My average went from a 190 to a 216. I'm normally a (Hammer user) but now I have a new arsonal to my collection. The only thing I don't loke about this ball is that it niks and scratches easy.

Comments about Brunswick Wicked Siege:
Brunswick Wicked SiegeBowler Stats:Speed: ~19 mphRPM: ~400Axis tilt: ~15 degreesAxis rotation: 30-50 degreesConditions Tested On:39' THS (19.6uL)Ball 1:50 by 5" by 50 (no hole)Ball 2:70 by 2" by 30 (P1 hole)I've been looking forward to the next addition to the Siege line because I think that the MACE core is one of the best cores in bowling right now. I've loved the rest of the Sieges and this ball is no different.I decided to get two Wickeds. One would be drilled using my favorite layout for any asymmetrical that I've ever owned (Ball1), and the other would be an experimental layout suggested by my style from Mo Pinel's Dual Angle Methods (Ball 2).Ball 1's layout gave me the look that I expected from this ball. PERFECTION! There is a reason I knew I'd love this ball with this layout. It gives me a perfect look throughout the entire lane. Glides through the heads effortlessly, a controllable read of the midlane, and a backend to die for. The backend is very controlled but very very powerful. Just what I was looking for in a ball for medium to med-heavy sport conditions, although it shined on my THS as well. For my THS, I started with a laydown at 26 with a breakpoint in the 6-8 board range downlane. This is the deepest I've ever been able to start on my fresh THS with this good of overall ball reaction and tons of recovery. When sent wide, this Wicked came roaring back from what I thought was 'no mans land" for the angle I was playing and slapped pins across the deck. While notorious for not having a lot of hold, this pattern still allowed pulled shots to hold line and hit the pocket. With the reaction of the Wicked Siege, very few 10s were left for such an extreme inside angle with more than enough messengers. When compared to the Evil Siege with the exact same layout (plus a P1 hole) I'd say that the Wicked is about 4 boards stronger overall with most of that coming from backend reaction alone. If you owned an Evil Siege and wanted just a little more pop off of the dry boards, than the Wicked is perfect for you. If you are looking for the Wicked to combat the everyday THS, then the box surface should work just fine for you unless you have a ton of speed and or little revs. If you are geared to more competitive patterns, I'd suggest a light scuff with a 4000 grit pad to even out the ball motion just a little bit more. Since I've scuffed mine, the midlane has enhanced even more while maintaining almost all of the backend reaction and staying strong through the pins.Ball 2 uses a layout suggested by Mo Pinel's system for THS based on my personal stats. I was a little skeptical at first but this layout amazes me. On the Wicked Siege, it gives me a very very strong continuing arcing motion compared to that of Ball 1. I don't want to give the impression that Ball 1 wasn't continuous, but it looked as if it had a hook/set reaction in comparison to the layout of Ball 2. That's how smooth Ball 2 is. Ball 2 hooks about 5 boards less overall than Ball 1, with Ball 2's motion coming from much more throughout the entire lane. This smooth ball motion is just what I was looking for to combat the wet/dry reaction of many THSs that I see. This smooth reaction makes me really looking forward to testing it out on short sport patterns where I can play up the gutter. After starting with the box surface, I decided to add another coat of polish on the ball in order to allow me to play closer to the friction like I love to do. Unlike what other balls might do, I saw no over/under reaction with this extra coat of polish. When pulled, it greatly enhanced my hold room and when pushed, the Wicked still came back strong.Basically if you are looking to add a versatile ball to your arsenal, this is the ball to buy. There is a reason that you hear so many people raving about it. It's because the cover/core combo match up to such a wide range of styles and conditions. For the typical bowler, this ball will work for medium to medium-heavy conditions with a great read of the entire lane. Treat yourself this holiday season and put a great ball reaction in your bag. Slap your favorite asymmetrical layout on the Wicked and you won't regret it.

Comments about Brunswick Wicked Siege:
Brunswick promises and they deliver. The Wicked Seige is a great ball on those typical house patterns and tournament conditions that force the players to play the deep part of the lane. Very clean through the front with a great recovery down lane. Regardless if you hit this ball with a pin up or pin down layout, this could be the next benchmark ball you put in your bag.

Comments about Brunswick Wicked Siege:
This ball is very easy to get through the front of the lane, and has a stong yet controllable backend reaction. Very Long, or very high volume patterns may not work well if you have alot of ball speed.
