No where near as strong as advertised for me, in addition, I feel like this coverstock had some bad batches, my never seems to absorb oil, worse then an old urethane by the end of the night even after wiping it down with microfiber after every shot, with that being said, if they are burnt it is phenomenal, got me a 299 and a 791 series awhile back, therefore it still stays in the bag.

Great ball to compliment the Joker for me. When my Joker is just hooking too early this is a great go to ball. Very clean through the front and mid lane before making an aggressive move off the back of the pattern. Very good playing right up the boards and down and in . The Joker Wild is clean and smooth through the fronts and drives hard through the pocket for great pin action and carry.

This ball is practically my go to ball when I’m heavy on fresh oil or if I need a last resort to finish strong ball this is the ball I go to we it’s literally super dry this is. A Must have

Not much to say but WOW. I have turned a lot of heads with this ball. I can play just about any line with this ball. Easy to make adjustments with it when the transition happens.

At the risk of sounding cliché, the Joker Wild is no joke! I polished mine before throwing it on a gut feeling. Clears the fronts easily before making a strong but controllable move off the end of the pattern. Can even move left a bit and swing/belly it when transition hits. Between the polish, my layout (slightly longer pin-to-PAP distance), and the Elastic-E inner filler, it retains a ton of energy on the backend and really tosses pins around on the deck. A must-have for later in the block on house shots.

I have tried every surface imaginable for this ball and it never finishes unless lanes are burnt. The only option for this ball is game 3 league through friction or game 4 beyond on multiple game sweepers. Have thrown the Black Pearl Hunter, Almighty King and Royal Queen. My favorite was The Almighty, this ball is not what it's advertised to be.

I have had a great run using this ball as my 2nd out the bag, or when wanting to play a bit smoother. Is a great follow up for the big bro jacked, and can stay on the line for several games without concern. Carry is strong as well.

Absolutely love my joker wild, it's reads the lanes nicely handles the transition fairly well and it's my go to ball from start to finish during my leagues

This ball is THE perfect complement to the original Joker. This will be another ball I buy multiples of. A must have for any tournament bowler.

A very versatile ball, can be used on multiple lane conditions, very clean through the heads and stores power for an aggressive move off back end. You are able to throw this ball on any sports pattern and be very happy with the outcome. You need to have this ball in your bag ASAP!

I couldn't wait to get this ball when I ordered it and it did not disappoint. First full series with just this ball, 2nd game was a 300. Gets clean through the heads and smooth, strong, and continuous though the pins. I can easily use this ball for all three games with just feet and target adjustments. I love it.

This ball has all the movement and hitting power I need from a ball. Great roll down and in that give me the confidence to play it anywhere I go.

This ball has definitely become the first ball out my bag, it’s more than just a benchmark ball. Very smooth and controlled piece, but hit’s like a tank and the backend motion is insane.

I loved the original Joker and the Joker Wild is no joke !!
This ball gets it on. On league it has been staying in my bag because it is to snappy but that is what makes the ball good is when you need a little pop on the back this will be the one to grab!

The best Ball in my bag. I've thrown a lot of California bowling products this past year, and I always seem to gravitate towards this ball. Everyone should have the Joker wild in their bag.

This ball is really outstanding I can play it with results from everywhere but the outside right arrow, which is unheard of for a 2 hander, I just don’t understand how it still stays right because even with no hand in it my speed is only 16.5-17.1, but then can hook the whole lane too, its versatility alone makes it a must have, awesome job on this one guys

Shot 4 240+ In my first 15 games with it!!!

Joker Wild was a ball missing out of my Arsenal. For me works well when the lanes transition and other equipment reads to early. The Wild gets through clean and gives you the drive through the pocket the most wont give you. Great Ball

I have loved the angles I can get with the Joker Wild from Swag. No matter the oil pattern this ball pays off with a powerful backend. Would recommend this ball to anyone that wants a ball with a little extra attitude.

Very good read for middle and end of pattern and good hitting power

The Joker Wild is the ball I start with during warm-up. Depending what the lanes and the ball tell me, depends whether I ball up, ball down, or adjust. It has not let me down with adjustments. Have used it for the past two league weeks after a few practice games and it reads the mids really well. Too early to the outside in the mids, expect it to come back high laughing all the way.

So with my Joker Wild the lay out is 80x4 1/2x40 which gives me a smoother motion down lane. I am right handed bowler with rev rate of 610 and speed 19 mph. This ball is absolutely phenomenal through the front part of lane and grabs ever so smoothly right into the friction with continuous energy into the pocket like none other! For my game this ball would be right out of the bag option. I threw this ball on the PBA 46ft Petraglia pattern and what I saw was that this ball continued its energy through the mid lane and once it hit the friction the turn was very sharp in to the pocket. The back row was a factor. I definitely controlled the back row with a little bit of loft and boom carry all day. I feel that all bowlers will have success with this ball but definitely for the low rev players! This will definitely add some SWAG to yo bag!!

Always the first ball out of my bag! Can use this ball on almost any condition and any part of the lane! Has no problem going through the heads and has a strong back end and crushes the pins! This ball is a must have!

I absolutely love this ball! The cover/core combination is excellent and makes this ball extremely versatile. You can stay up the back and tighten your angles and when you need to open up your angles, just get around it a bit and watch this thing scream back.

It reads the mid-lane excellent and makes a very powerful move to the pins. The wild continues strong off the pin deck and goes straight through the 8-9.

One of the most versatile balls I have thrown in a very long time. Great backend. Reads the lanes quite well. I can miss outside and not be worried. Would be a great addition to anyone’s arsenal.

The Joker Wild has quickly become my go to ball in my bag. Whether I am trying to keep my angle closed or really open them up and hook the lane the Joker Wild reads the mids and backend so well I have the confidence to play anywhere with this ball.

The SWAG Joker Wild is amazing. Very clean through the front and mids before making an aggressive move off the back of the pattern. Very versatile as well. Up the boards? No problem. Down and in? Anytime you want it. In front of ball return? All day long. Absolutely stellar release from SWAG that will definitely be in my PBA Regional bag for every pattern.
