Title: New Ball Advice
Post by: BallyLoser on January 26, 2010, 02:28:47 PM
Ooops.. Accidentally locked my previous post.

I started bowling again last year after an 8 year break. I am looking to get a new Brunswick ball. I currently have a Danger Zone Black Ice and an Indigo Pro Zone. Both are at the factory polish.

What is an equivalent of those in todays selection?

There is no current equivalent to the Black Ice. Such is our loss. There is a ball with the PK 18 pearl cover, called the Avalanche Pearl (green/Black) BUT it uses a much weaker core. Keep your Black Ice. It will work great on many conditions. It is worth its weight in Black Gold!

Not sure what the ball is you called an Indigo Pro Zone. Check this retired ball listing from Brunswick to give us the proper name. (Could it be an Imperial ?)

My other one I believe is the "Zone Pro Deep Violet"

The Proactive Zones (particle) have been replaced with improved solid coverstocks. You could try a pin down Diamondback and have a strong, smooth reaction, but with better carry than the particle coverstocks.

Among the pearl reactives there are a few "can't miss" choices due to their versatility, consistency, etc., on most house shots. I highly recommend the Rattler and Wild Thing for their overall value and performance. Good luck and let me know if I can be of further help.
