I think Brunswick just answered my house shot needs. Probably pair both of these with my Rhino and be set

BrunsNick needs to throw his weight around at Corporate and get the Grizz reintroduced.  ;)

I used to have a Brunswick Edge. Very mild ball, good for dryish lanes with a small hook. A classic no doubt. Yeah, that paired up with a Rhino should be all you need for a high friction, low oil house!

Pushing hard to bring it back. Maybe as a 10 year gift.

I there any difference between these and the melee jab and hook? or pretty much just a remake

Yes, the covers have been modified. The Edge Pearl is designed to be a clone of the Jab and the Solid targeted a cleaner, more angular version of the Hook.

So the Fanatic would be a little less ball than the Edge Pearl? And the Fanatic SS will be more than the Edge Solid?

I was hopping the covers would be a little weaker. Maybe I should just pull the trigger on a Danger Zone

Hot damn my prayers have been answered a replacement for the jab. And svstar you should really look hard at the danger zone I just got 1 a couple weeks ago and love it.Who knows how much longer it will be out for.

Yeah, the new Brunswick ball chart doesn't have the Danger Zone on it. Looks like that's the next ball to be retired. Might be some good deals for it soon.

I like the overall line Brunswick has currently. Just about every ball motion is covered for medium to higher oil volumes and then there's the Rhino line for dry. About the only thing that's missing is... what the Danger Zone brings to the table.

Brunswick running out names for bowling balls, I believe in the early 80's they released a red Urethane ball called the Edge, or I'm getting old to remember

I had a Red Brunswick Edge back in the 1980's.

Thanks. Noticed the date in the OP after I asked the question. Duh. Hard to see on phone screen.

Sorry, I missed this first time around. Yes, you are correct on both.

All my Brunswick buddies are like THANK GOD for these 2 haha.
