I know stats suggests Bruiser is stronger. I would like a comparison from someone who has thrown each.

Not very close. Bruiser is very smooth and predictable (great control ball). The Fire is more snappy. Bruiser is solid whereas the fire is a pearl.
Any reason your asking?

Just recently, I finally matched up on a broken down condition with my slayer.
I really liked the hit and control I had. Shot 730 when others were struggling to shoot 500. Never missed the pocket or had an open, Would have been a 9 pin no tap 900 series. Slayer is drilled pin over bridge and cg stacked below. I was wondering which of these balls would give me a similar look on medium oil on synthetic lanes. Also, would you drill the ball similar to the Slayer or should I just get another slayer and drill stronger.

How flippy was the slayr? IF it was pretty mild on the flip (arc), then i would say go with a bruiser. You COULD try to drill it the same, but you'd be better off asking your driller what he thinks.
If it was flippy and you like that, personally, i would go with a classic zone, but i suppose you could always drill the fire strong (depending on you of course).

I wouldn't say it was flippy, smooth at the breakpoint, but quite angular at the pocket with excellent hit.

Thanks for the info. Probably going to go with the bruiser.
Anyone think a Slayer drilled leverage could handle some oil?

When matched up on the right condition the slayer is an awesome ball. I am wondering if drilled stronger if it can work on fresh THS. I would just like to get this ball in my hands more often.
