The Yeti Untamed provides a solid coverstock matched with the same core properties as the original Yeti. It comes at a polished box finish and, despite its shine, offers plenty of hook.

We matched up best with the Yeti Untamed on our medium test pattern. The ball offered moderate length with a big hooking motion. The Untamed is not as angular down lane as the first...

Torque

Despite a coverstock change from a pearl on the original Yeti to a polished solid on this one, the Untamed offers a big change of direction down lane. This shape was best on our medium test pattern.
Length

The polished coverstock has moderate length. The low RG core and the solid coverstock keep the ball from skating past the breakpoint.
Back End
(1-20)

We had just as much back end from the Untamed as we did from the original Yeti. The big difference we saw was an increase in total hook.

The Yeti Untamed will provide users with more hook than the Yeti and any of the Torrid line. This ball adds more total hook to the strong back end motion of the original Yeti.

Strengths: Even with a shiny box finish, this ball had no problem hooking plenty on our medium pattern. Bowlers who bowl on a little slicker THS will like being able to throw a polished ball without giving up total hook.

Weaknesses: Low rev players will struggle on heavy volumes with the Yeti Untamed at the box finish. Removing the polish immensely increased our Stroker’s reaction on this pattern.

Overall Summary: The Yeti Untamed takes the reaction from the first Yeti and adds more motion in the midlane which equates to more total hook. This ball will be useful on a wide spectrum of lane conditions.
