monster line
« on: June 06, 2004, 05:45:15 AM »
Is the monster line going to make it another year, or does anyone know if it will be discontinued by the end of the year?

I think it'll be a huge mistake if they discontinue the Bruiser.  Much like the early discontinuation of the Blazing Inferno and the Monster Scream/R.  This is their most adaptable medium condition ball.  You can drill em to flip, arc, and have a couple for them to cover the three basic conditions.  They definately should keep incorporating the Quantum weightblocks.  They're much more drill friendly than the shorter fat mushroom cores from the Attitude series.  I'm getting a Time Zone soon and a Gold Nugget, but I really can't wait to try a Bruiser since I've converted to all Brunswick.

i spoke with tom tomaras of brunswick about this and of course he wasn't at liberty to say but based on my conversaation with him at least the monster slayR should remain. more importantly, he stated that their new balls coming out in july will be SUPERIOR in performance compared to what they have now. now that's REALLY saying something !

Wow yea it really is. If its even close in performance, I'll be happy, but what the question is, is will it be as versatile as the Bruiser???

I think bringing some of the ideas from the International series to the states in midprice form would be a killer idea.  I'm really intrigued by the cover/core matchup of the Red Alert Plus and Dynamic Zones.  It's bad enough the overseas market gets the better colors

What they really need to do is re-release the Quantum Raven and Sage in the midpriced line.  I know I'd add two of each to my arsenal and probaly use them exclusively.  I remember having the Raven with the pin over the bridge, and C.G in the palm and it still flared 8 1/2 inches for me.  I had no problem opening up the lane no matter how tight the lanes were.  Brunswick I know you're reading....bring back the Raven!

bracket creep, i can see where you're coming from. however, i have talked to tom tomaras of brunswick for several years now and he's very honest in his assessment of his companies equipment----whether it be balls of the past, present, or the future. he has also been very frank in regards to past employees and their bad business and marketing decisions......
