Break S75 Question
« on: March 05, 2010, 11:25:50 PM »
I was hoping to find some opinions about the S75 vs Brunswicks C-system 3.5.  I''ve thrown the 3.5 and was blown away at how smooth it got down the lane and then HOOKED, but I can get a deal on the s75.  I know each ball may not suit a bowlers style, but I''m just trying to make the best decision.  This is the first new ball I''m looking to buy in a while.  Last being the original fury, which is still a great ball.  Just looking to drop to 14lbs in order to get more speed on my ball.  With my 15s I''m throwing (RH) around 13.5mph 20-10ish boards mostly.  I can move further inside if the pattern is dry but I become inconsistent then.  I appreciate any help yall can offer!

Don't know a lot about the 3.5 (I have to buy American), but the s75 is very strong. For me it probably covers more boards on most patterns than anything else I have ever had. When I am lined up with it, it is money but can be somewhat condition specific at times (most balls are). I have about 250 games on mine and it still hooks a lot, probably not quite as much as it did when it was new but close.

I realize that a ball might only work on certain conditions as well.  My normal house is a med/med-heavy pattern.  I can land a new s75 for 84 bucks.  Should I just hold off on the c system since it's still like 140?  I just got a Visionary Gladiator Pearl that was used and enjoy this ball, but really looking for something good to get in a 14 (stepping down from 15).  Its going to take me a while to rotate out all my 15lbs, but I gotta start somewhere!    I appreciate the help!

Kong!  Just the person I was looking for!  Someone that had both.  I really appreciate that.  I've heard they both hit like a truck.  Like I said, I've thrown the 3.5 and really liked it.  It didnt matter whether it was pocket side or brooklyn, it gave so much pin action it still gave me a strike.  I only threw it 3 times because my buddy finally let me throw it when I had to leave!  But I had a great 10th frame.  I think I am going with the s75 because of the price.  But if anyone else has more info, please let me know.  I wont get it till tomorrow or Monday.  Thanks again!

I don't have the C-System. I just have the S75, but it's the best ball I've ever owned. And after throwing Storm's X-Factor when it first came out, I never thought I'd hear myself saying that about any other ball.

I've had 2 S-75's one pin under and one pin up. Both were awesome pices Very smooth with great continuation through the pins.When i was having over/under with everything else the s-75 would smooth the pattern out. Due to my slow speed i didn't get to throw either of them alot but when i did get the chance they were money in the bank

Great ball! All around solid performer. I do not have anything but good results with this one. Have 2 (#1 w/ a double thumb & #2 with a 50*x5"x20*) and both are very versatile. From a THS to sport, this ball is money. Consistent midlane reaction and great continuation through the pin deck. Can be thrown on multiple lines. You won't be disappointed and once you see the hit and carry, you will be addicted. One ball leads to another.

LOL!  I think you guys have sold me on the s75.  My wife and I went to the casino last night and made 400 dollars into 800 dollars!!! I dont think she's going to be upset if I get a new ball!  ha!  Thanks again!

I always practice with a ball before I throw in league play anyhow. I throw 5-10 practice games a week!    I'm looking forward to it.  I'll definitely let you all know what I think!  Should get it in a week or so, hopefully

In that case, I'll do extra practice with it this weekend.  It's already in Jackson MS.  It only has to make it to Biloxi!  I cant wait.  Plus since I went down to a 14 I'll be able to throw it for longer!  Me to get 25 games on a ball doesnt take much!    I appreciate it and I'm looking forward to it!

Okay, so I got my ball!  It's 14.4 oz. top 3 oz. and 1.5-2 in pin.  I am having problems with my balls not going long enough before turning.  I know this is an aggressive ball.  What drilling would you all recommend? I dont know all the technical stuff, so try to keep it simple please!

Okay, speed is around 13mph revs med-high.  I dont know actual count.  On a dry pattern, I can hook the whole lane with a gladiator pearl.  Lanes are a medium pattern mostly.  Synthetic.  And league typical house shot is what kind of oil I''m on!  Thanks again yall
