New Viz-a-balls
« on: October 13, 2005, 05:19:05 AM »
I know most of the discussion around here is about the BVP or High Performance line but I just thought I would throw out that new Viz-a-Balls are posted on the Brunswick Website for those interested.

Speaking of "autographing" it, I've been doing some testing with writing on these White Viz's with Sharpies. I've come to the conclussion that even when the ball is shiny, like how it's going to come out of the box, the Sharpie writing held up good to the touch without smearing. When I threw it on the lanes the writing rubbed off a little, but was still visible. We are currently checking with the USBC to see if the writing would be considered a foreign substance and not allowed. Tommorrow I will be spraying over the lettering with an aresol enamel to see how well it protects the writing. We're almost certain that this process will not be acceptable to the USBC, but we are doing it more to see if we can preserve an autograph permanently, not to be bowled with.

It exists, i've seen a lady bowling with it, white and black stripes that look hypnotic as it revs down the lane, i'd like to get my hands on it!

.......anyone know which company made it, and what its real name is?

Well it's not a Viz A Ball... Ebonite made the Zebra though.  It was also remade a little later.

The white ball is cool. They should also add a black one. Would sell like fresh bread.

Both Kitties have been around for a year or so... nothing new. But they are cute. I have seen a blue one in a local pro shop and seriously considered getting one, just for some style on the lane.
Beat the competition, with a Hello Kitty ball. Yeah, right!

And the glove is gorgeous, too. I ordered one for a friend as a birthday present, and somewhere here in the forum some real pics have been posted (I guess by BrunsNick) some time ago, end of August, I think. Really looks great!

Has anyone ever told Brunswick that they put a F-15 on the Navy ball?


I think that is the bottom of a Tomcat.  I believe 15's look slightly different than what you see.

F-15 and F-16 USAF
F-18 and F-14 Navy

Of course there are more aircraft than that.  Personally, I think a B-52 on the USAF ball would be cool.
