BVP line
« on: April 07, 2006, 03:03:11 AM »
With the nemesis nearing the end of its time what is next? I am hoping they replace it with a BVP core and solid activator cover, any one else got any ideas what they would like to see next in the BVP line!

The Punisher and Goliath are definitely on their way out.  I think the Nemesis still has a couple months of life left, because the particle and pearl looks have both been replaced by the Ambush and Rampage.  You'd have to see another solid come out before the Nemesis is retired, I think.  I doubt the BVP line is done, remember how long the Monsters went on?  The BVP line, IMO, is even better than the Monsters were, they really seem like performance balls, whereas the Monsters were slightly more noticeably midprice options.

Well, nevertheless, the Punisher and Goliath ARE on their way out, as we have been assured by a Brunswick rep himself.

From Brunswick's website:

Goliath’s High-Load Particle coverstock is the result of extensive R&D and six years of particle coverstock development.

As I have said before, the activator coverstocks in general have been a huge welcoming for me. . .as for the zone and BVP line, i have really wanted to try a rampage or a vapor zone the most. like nick said, i would hope they dont discontinue the activator coverstocks. . .

Well, we've had trouble getting the Punishers, and were told by Ron Bragg that it and the Goliath were on their way out.  Never heard that about the Nemesis though.  We've got the state tournament at our house, and we've been running a special on the BVP balls.  Well, we haven't been able to get our hands on more than 6 or 7 Punishers, and they're backordered from our distributor.  At least that's the way I understood it, that's what the boss told me he was told.

Bring back the Combat Zone and Tracer! PK18 solid and pearl. Or use the core of this ball (no Asym) and wrap it in Activator (original) and re-release. Sign me up for 2 of each...

The Combat Zone was PowrSurge, not PowrKoil 18.  And I'm pretty sure the core is just reused from the Danger Zone.

You could buy an Elite Alien... that's just it.

Whoever is looking ro an OI should try to get hands on the current Hyper Zone S.

Wondering what is coming up in the BVP line. IMHO, the name is not very good, does not sound as flashy as a "Monster" ball. I hope they come out with a different core, or at least variations of that bell core with higher/lower RG.
Maybe we see some Aggressive Reactive again (remember the Fuze balls)?

Good point. Did not catch that up front. So that gives it more options:

-Use PK18 Solid and Pearl with the old core (same specs I guess as original Danger Zone only colored Green for Combat/Tracer)

-Use Activator Pearl with the old core for the Tracer and do NOT make it Asymetrical (as in all the current Zones)

-Use Agrressive Reactive from the Raging Red Fuze on a the core for a more updated version (2002 instead of 1997).

-Simply re-release the Combat Zone with original PowerSurge coverstock.

I could spend $300 on an Alien online or drill one from the shop for close "cost".....or I could order/drill 3 BVP/Zone balls instead.

We have an Alien at the shop currently (actually all the Elite balls for that matter) and have sold only a couple based on the fact that they are too spendy for most customers of the fact that nobody really knows much about them around here. May end up trying to sell them NIB on ebay this summer depending (or on here if anyone would be interested probably around $200 shipped to cover costs at the shop).
