Well I have finally bowled in a place where there was enough oil to throw this ball. I bowled in a tourney that is 12 games of qualifying. 6 games Sat, and 6 games Sun at a different house. I used my 70x5x40 layout on Saturday. The back 3 I went 247, 290, 300. Finished the day at +328. Today bowled in a different center. I threw my RICO layout the last 3. Shot 289, 226, 279. Finished this block +276 for a total of +604. Now we go to 2 different centers next week for 12 games of match play. Hopefully things go well.

To toot my own horn here... it has been a good month. A couple weeks ago I shot 300 with a 3.5. Last weekend shot 300 with an Avalanche Slide. And then this past Monday had 820 with a Diamondback.

Man I love these Big B balls. Anyone else with some success stories. Lets hear em.

I'm not a Brunswick staffer and never been a big supporter, but the 3.5 is the best ball I've thrown since my return to bowling last season.

Roto-Grip Cell Pearl (500/4000 abralon)

I've had 2-300 games, a 799 and 816 with my Brunswick C-System 3.5!

This ball has been amazing for me!

Nice rolling Adam,

I've had great success with my current Brunswick equipment. While the only award score I've had lately are a 298 and 299 I have enjoyed consistency game after game in multiple houses and on multiple conditions. I could not be more satisfied with my current balls. The Brunswick line gives me the most predictable ball motion shot after shot throughout the course of the competition which adds up to a lot of match victories.
I get equal use from my Diamondback, C-System 2.5 and Python. These three balls in particular give me good coverage over a wide variety of conditions. with the 2.5 falling right in between the others in overall strength. When I travel to a house where I anticipate heavier oil volumes I will add in my Siege and when going to a drier environment I will leave the Siege home and bring along the Avalanche Pearl.
I just added the Rattler yesterday but have not had a chance to roll it yet. I will give it a try tonight to see where it fits into the lineup. My 3.5 is next up on the mill machine.
Any suggestions on layouts for this new sphere? I'm thinking pin 5", under the bridge with MB 45 degrees from grip center (left handed)(see profile for specs).

Hmmmm Well I shot 6 games with my new DB so far 179, 203, 189, 221, 216, 231.. So yea.. I like it

I do want something more for heavy oil. In the "perfect scale" the Maxxx zone is said to be able to have a higher hook potential than the 3.5 .. Is this true?

oh yea.. Awesome bowling btw... You ppl make me feel like I should be playing 9 pin no tap when I bowl , just to keep up

leftyl · « **Reply #9 on:** March 22, 2010, 05:46:17 PM »

Mj,

Based on my personal experience with both the Maxxx Zone and the 3.5 I would choose the 3.5.
You don't have any specs listed under your profile so I don't know your bowling style. If you could include some info on your rev rate, ball speed, axis tilt I could be of more help.

Ahh man , I forgot I have nothing in my sig, sorry ..

Im a cranker, right handed stand with my right foot around the 25 board and throw out to the 8 or so, With ( on average ) a 16.0-16.5 ball speed No idea "exactly " what my rev rate is, but from ppl who have watched me and a few guys in the pro shop they say I get alot of hand on it and more than likely am around 375

Mj,

I've had great success with the 3.5 and a 5" pin to PAP distance below fingers. For the customers that have seen the best results this put the pin just below the bridge. The MB out at 45 degrees from grip center and a x-hole in the vicinity of the MB just past the VAL. In your case you may want to have the x-hole on or just inside of your VAL if you have a higher rev rate or ball track.
