WOW, all this dissention amongst the ranks without one single person even throwing one yet. I'm stunned by the uproar. I feel we will hear a different tune once the balls arrive and the reports start flowing in. Hang in there guys and gals, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

By the way, without going into detail, MANY things contribute to the development and release of every new ball we make in order to maintain a complete line of balls that fit every need. We're not just making balls to be making them, there's rhyme and reason for everything. I should leave it at that for now.

The NATION will continue to succeed......I'm betting on ya!

I'm gettin' old, I'm hurtin', but I've got Brunswick balls.......Color me competitive.



I like brunswick stuff and I feel they have done an excellent job creating great new tachnology and producing a great # of variations in hook potential and breakpoint shapes.  These new offerings, if as reported, do NOT in any way continue the trend of innovation that Brunswick has made its name on.  I'm not saying that the new stuff will roll poorly or hit poorly, I'm saying that the reactions are already offered.  I can buy a strike zone and perform the Brunswick Factory Polish with my spinner and get a red zone.  I can buy a Nemesis and do nothing and get a Wizard.  If as reported, I will not purchase either of the new releases.  I have had a Classic, an Impulse, a Strike, and currently have the Vapor, and loved each and every one, but the trend will end if the reports are true.  I think its appaling to release the same balls with different colors.  Its a proclamation that bowlers only want to look good and know nothing about what they're throwing.

obviously no one read when i said the NEW INFERNO WILL BE SIZZLIN.... that should be a hint enough.... look for a NEW INFERNO THIS SUMMER PEOPLE!!!!!

something with a core cover and ________ Inferno....
                         (Insert Sizzlin' above)
and expect a pearl cover... dunno about the core... do know that it is supposed to be 5-7 boards stronger on the backend than the smokin... so an aggressive skid snappy pearl from the sound of it... should be good

Of all of the posters lamenting/complaining, who has drilled one of these 2 balls up and thrown it yet? So no one has thrown a ball, but are convinced these are the exact 2 balls reaction wise to a couple of former balls in the line?

Put holes in one of each, throw them first, then complain if they are dead on carbon copies of pervious releases.

The point is not whether the ball is good or bad it is the lack of innovation.  The other thing, if the cover is the same and the core is the same and only the factory finish changed, then the balls are virtual carbon copies, no need to throw them.  I hate these new releases, if your going to remake a ball remake something that is hard to get, the teal rhino, a quantum, or even the raging red fuze, don't release the same ball that you are just now removing from the product line

You guys need to really drill these balls before you knock them.  You need to realize that Brunswick does not release balls just for no reason.  I know personally that there is a lot of people that put input into what reactions are missing in the lineup.  It just so happens that the BVP line is pretty solid as is.  The new Wizard may be a replacement for the Nemesis, and it may be the same ball just different colour, but why change a good thing?  A solid PK-18 reactive ball is going to be great no matter what the colour, so with a new released colour, the appeal is new, which will sell balls.  As for the new Inferno, I believe that the look they are going for is something similar to the Big-One, Road Hawg reaction.  A lot of the patterns now on tour and internationally have more volume of oil downlane, and I believe that this is condition that the new Inferno will combat.

it has been stated that the new Wizard is identicle to the Nemesis. i dont have to put holes in one to know, i already have a Nemesis. they NEED that look in the BVP lineup.


The key word is "stated", not thrown down the lane or drilled up. Folks might want to wait until you try something before you knock it. A lot of people are getting worked up on here with out throwing the ball or even hearing the logic behind both releases and there fit in the Brunswick line up.

Two usual definitions:

o A young lady who keeps the male actors excited between takes on an adult film set.  See here.

o A low-speed, low-rev (and sometimes questionable style) bowler.  In the taxonomy of styles, it's below stroker (which may be an specialization of the above definition as well).  Even strokers make fun of fluffers.

Fluffers like watching this thing break (what was "this thing"?  The RZ or Wizard?) because they usually don't have the hand to generate a lot of hook.  They like balls with strong, angular backends because it's the only way they're going to see the ball hook.

The only logic I see to these releases is to sell more balls to those buy based on color and to those that already want the Nemesis, and those that want and intend to polish the Strike Zone.  I will once again state that I hope the specs on these releases have been reported wrong.

I trust Brunswick. The Nemesis is an incredible ball that never sold as well as it could have for whatever reason, and it was a reaction that is needed in that lineup, so if you have a great ball with great reaction that is a must in that lineup but isn't selling.....You change the name, change the colors and hope it starts selling again. And the Red Zone is a reaction that was needed in the lineup now that the Classic and Impulse are gone (though it's reaction easily obtained through the StrikeZone).

Ah! Thanks!  I was aware of the definition for the adult film industry and I was hoping this was different.  Or actually, maybe I was hoping it was the same and I could get a bowling fluffer the next time I go bowling.

Sure would make those nights when you can't hit the broad side of a barn a whole heckuva lot better.  There are a few people around my house that look like they'd be pretty darn good at it.

I trust that there is a good reason or good logic behind the ball releases as well. Hopefully Hammer Bowler doesn't think I was singling him out as that was not the intent.
