Is it just me or is big b releasing balls for the heck of it now.  Seems like they are trying to find lightning in a bottle and are coming up empty.  I love my wild thing but it just came out a few months ago.  What's the deal?

I think all companies are releasing new stuff around this time of the year.

The Diamond Back is a potentially sharp looking replacement for the ugly as sin Copperhead.  It's basically a baby Ultimate Inferno.

The Wild Card appears to be a solid version of the Wild Ride.

BB just has them listed really early. They aren't showing to release till November.

So really that isn't to bad considering the Wild Thing has been out a while along with the Rattler.

Remember back in the 90s companies released a couple of balls a month every month.

Is the Diamondback a solid? The picture makes it look pretty shiny, almost like a pearl. But a pretty piece, reminds me much of the Vicious Attack?

And another purple ball with the Wild Card. Looks like a ladies' favorite? Solid Cennexion, is it?

Thanks for posting!

Are you a fashion bowler?  

One of Brunswicks best (IMO) balls was purple.  The Zone Classic.

DIAMONDBACK - Activator solid cover (Ultimate Inferno) with the Rocket core.

WILD CARD - Same core as the Wild Thing (yes!) with a solid reactive cover.

wild card sounds very nice...I don't mind the design. Besides, its funner when you  show people up using pink/purple equip.

Shape of the core doesn't matter. It is the density. Thats why all of these different cores including Morich, Visionary, and Lane 1 have the same specs as everybody else. They all have to fall in USBC guidelines.

But don't make it a diamond shape because that will make the Lane 1 people angry. Why, nobody knows.
