The Frantic has the same cover as the popular Hy-road (R2S Hybird coverstock) with the N.O.S. core which was used in the 2 Fast and 2 Furious.
Very bright colors in Orange/Green which has great shelf appeal. The Frantic is cleaner through the fronts more angular off the spot than the Hy-road.
Be careful not to drill this ball too strong as the Frantic loves friction and can go sideways off the spot.
But if your looking for a ball for when the lanes get a little broken down, and need to open
the lane up the Frantic is that ball. Storm Sales Rep Doen Moos suggested for me to drill it pin down with a 4 inch pin to create some flare and control the backend motion.
This is exactly what this drilling gave me. As I shot 801 series in league where the pair was more on the hooking side that night, and I just kept chasing it in with great carry.
I compare this ball to being a stronger version of the popular T-Road Pearl.
Dislikes : The Frantic doesn't handle a large amount of oil very well, except maybe for the heavy handed players.
