thats cool. The groove line really lasted a long time with great performance. This should be a hit, especially with the PK17 cover.

Looks nice. Would like to see a future release with a lower RG core as well hopefully. Would be a good combination with such a great cover. Or that may fall in the Avalanche line.


Is there a link to a larger pic available?

Nice - should be more consistent shot to shot than the Groove. Might be something to bring in under my Eliminator, Avalanche Solid, and Slide. Do you remember when we all complained about too much oil on the lanes? Be careful what you wish for - now I look forward to the rare night when we have "heavy oil" on the house shot and I can use the Eliminator.

I might add that when bowling with 7 other bowlers using the latest and greatest hook monsters I have had good success moving down in ball strength.

Balls look great I like the python colored one. Wish the black one was urethane though :/

RG is good, but would have liked to see a little more differential for a little more continuation. Looks like a very rolly core.

Pork Roll 17 is always welcome.

I think since it's designed to replace the Power Groove line, they probably wanted something not too crazy, yet a nice ball.

Frankly, these are probably designed to compete against the Freeze, which has been one of the easiest balls to sell on the market due to the low price point and overall value. The advantage will be that it's a Brunswick coverstock known for their unprecedented durability. Personally, I think we'll sell a ton of them.

Pretty low differential, but finally a PK17 ball with a core! But still with a pretty high RG - looks as if it was "tamer" than a PG it replaces? Rather a ball for no-revs beginners?

Urethane ball will be released in the avalanche series. So before everyone starts to ask where is the urethane groove, there will still be a urethane option.

Just going by the numbers I would think the Roto Grip Planets would be the closest comparison - and those were all excellent - even with, or more likely because of the numbers

Is the power groove going to be discountinued soon? I've been thinking of getting the purple/black one.
