COMMENTS
Likes: The easy of which the ball gets through the fronts
Dislikes: None
The Versamax was my favorite of all the Brunswick releases last year because of its versatility and easy length but there were certain situations where I could use a little extra movement down lane. The Meanstreak is the answer to this issue. It is a little weaker on the fresh conditions but a little stronger on the breakdown with a stronger move at the breakpoint. I have an early laydown point and prefer to slow hook the ball and the Meanstreak is just the ball for this type of application. It clears the heads with ease and makes it to the ideal breakpoint even when I let up on the speed a little or get it down early. It also allows me to feed the ball a little further right as the lanes breakdown and it hooks up to the pocket area with authority. The pin carry is well above average as the ball saves lots of rotational energy and as long as there is enough friction the Meanstreak will return from almost any where on the lane. This ball has quickly become my new favorite go to ball on medium conditions as it suits my style of play perfectly. If you are looking for a versatile ball with a strong breakpoint on medium lane conditions check out the new Meanstreak from Brunswick!
