BTM Wrath Dead Flush comments:

The Wrath Dead Flush features a pearl version of Columbia’s “Bring It Back” reactive cover with the proven Ti-Boss core design. This core design has always had the ability to store lots of energy for the back end. Then, when you put it in a polished pearl cover it takes this characteristic to the max. As with the Wrath High Flush, this ball will perform best on medium patterns, which includes the typical house shot. This new release also has the ability to handle some drier lane conditions as well. We gave it our highest marks on our medium test pattern. The length and strong back end was perfect for this type of condition. This ball’s ability to retain energy for the back end allowed us to stay with it as the pattern broke down. All three testers were able to chase the shot inside without loosing the ability to carry the corners. On the drier pattern, we were about an arrow or so deeper than we were playing on the medium pattern. As long as we didn’t bump the track area too early, we were able to hit the pocket and carry with a rather high percentage. Just be wary of hitting the friction too early. Doing so will cause the Dead Flush to jump dead flush into the headpin, leaving some creative spare shots. The length created by this Wrath was too much for the heavy and long pattern. The Resurgence and Rival would be a better choice when facing this type of condition. The Wrath Dead Flush would be our first choice on sport type patterns. This ball will find some playing time on medium sport patterns that have opened up a little. Other than that, it will probably stay in the bag on all other sport shots.
