Anyone here own a Frantic?

[MiggityMac]

I'm looking to buy a Storm Frantic ball and was wondering if anyone here owns one. If so, what drill pattern do you recommend for me being a 145 League avg. player who has only seriously been bowling for about a year now and who hooks the ball a little but is generally try to improve my hook potential.

I do. The ball is awesome. A great layout on any Storm ball where you're looking to get the most out of the ball is the 4x4x2 layout. It's a great all around layout.

I agree the frantic is a great ball! I think a 4X4 may be a bit aggresive though. I would go with a 4.5X5.5X2.5 to keep a smoother ball roll, and less jumpy off the end of the pattern. I have drilled and seen a bunch of layouts on that ball, and all of them look good on the lane. I personally use a 5X4.5X2.5 and LOVE it. I have multiple 260+ games with it already. In fact, I shot a 267 and 269 with it last night in league. At only $154.95 retail, it is a STEAL!

So you plan on keeping the ball you won or sell it can get the frantic?

[MiggityMac]

I'll keep the Nexus and I'll purchase the Frantic as planned. I want the Frantic that bad....lol.

I just can't get over the Frantic's appearance. Would love if they released the Red/Black one in the US instead of internationally. Will definitely be keeping an eye on when the accompanying solid is released...

[DanielMareina]

The accompanying solid of the Frantic is the 2 Furious.

[Mykenk]

Huh. So the Frantic is the Hybrid between the 2Fast and 2Furious. Interesting. Odd departure from the typical nomenclature.

[DanielMareina]

They did the same thing with the T-road solid, T-road Pearl, and then the Hy-Road.

[Mykenk]

That's true, I guess I expected something named somewhat similarly (ie, all the "roads")... but I guess I don't remember there being a hybrid in the hot line recently. Would have loved a street rod hybrid, those 2 balls were fantastic.

[DanielMareina]

The tropical heat black and silver is a hybrid cover stock on the street rod core. That was my benchmark ball for the last year.

What oil conditions are best for the Frantic?

[walk401]

I do not own a Frantic, but everyone I know who has one loves it.

[DanielMareina]

The frantic is good for low to medium oil. It is really great for most house shots!

[zeestraten46]

the frantic for league where i bowl definatlly comes into play about the 4th frame of the 2nd game for me, and i dont move alot the rest of the night! everyone else seems to chace the lanes where i stay consistant!

Just bought and had mine drilled. excited to use it this tuesday in my league. the place is usually on the dryer side so I'm sure I'll wind up going to it at some point in the night
