Did Brunswick make a Rhino Pro that was red? Maybe pearl cover?

It's got to be the purple one.

I just looked at the video, 123bowl.com, and the PBA list of cleared equipment.
It looks like both the Red "Code Red" Critical Mass and a purple Critical Mass were cleared for PBA use in July 1994, and the tournament was in November 1994.
Looks to me like he threw the purple Critical Mass. I had a red one, and the ball on TV is too dark and purple looking to be the red one.

Maroon or Dark Purple with green writing

I had 3 of them, they were great


The ball looked maroon on the show. I went back to look again but someone deleted it from the dvr.

Does anyone have a link to the critical mass that Ferraro used, or have a used?

Thanks

many players in that era of the pba were on shirt staff with a bowling ball company-----they wore a shirt from that company but were free to use anyone's equipment. dave ferraro may very well have been on brunswick shirt staff but chose to use a track critical mass on the telecast. i watched the 1994 great lakes classic today on dvd and noticed on several close ups that ferraro's ball looked very much like a critical mass.
