Old brunswick collection
« on: August 04, 2012, 08:25:51 PM »
I used to bowl in college and sweared by brunswick equipment.  This was back in the mid to late 90's.  I quit bowling competivly in 1998.  i just got back into it 4 years ago and got the itch to get on top of the crowd again. 
The issue i have is my equipment is older.  I still throw my teal rhino pro as my main line, straight down 10 and snap to the pocket at 45 ft.
My other main ball is a black ice zone, which i play as a bigger swing, usually 15 to 5 or such.
I recently purchased a elite sabatoge, which i like, but i wanna get into the newer brunswick stuff to stay true to my roots.
Would any of you guys, or gals, like to throw suggestions or comment out there to help, i would appreciate it.

I would give the Nexus F(P+F) a try. If the the out of box surface hooks too much for you, polish it. The ball is an absolute monster. For a ball that's pretty aggressive, it still get down the lane really well. I have 2 and used them on anything.

Brunswick has a lot of good balls out right now. People not trying any of them because they're made in Mexico or because they didn't like past equipment are missing out. 2nd to none right now.

One of my opponents on a regular basis has one and he throws that ball about 10 mph faster because of the hook.  He actually got both the nexus and the nexus pearl.  I like the pearl because of the variety it allows you to play.  As far as hitting, they seem to hit the same.

Well, I was actually saying that without knowing your ball speed. The new Nexxxus also comes out Wednesday and it looks really good too. From what i saw of it, it is a little tamer than the Nexus solid.

It's really hard to give you a good recommendation without seeing you throw the ball or know the lane condition you're bowling on.

I was described as a left handed mix of brian voss and walter ray.  Smooth delivery and excells playing the outside line.

Lefty,

Dont think thats what strap was asking for. He was talking about stats. Meaning speed, axis tilt, PAP, whether you're rev dominant or speed dominant, what lanes conditions you're bowling on. From there the layout and the ball are a lot easier to recommend. What you like to play is irrelevant. Where you play tonight to score, more than likely, will be different from where you played last week. Telling us who you are compared to is also irrelevant. That doesnt make me think of you, that makes me think of brian voss and WRW who, by the way, are at 2 completely different ends of the spectrum. They are as comparable as apples and oranges. Not trying to down or pick on you, but comparisons aint worth squat.

For example, for someone who is speed dominant and bowling on THS with a high tilt, I'd recommend a Nexus or Nexxus something strong core and cover to equalize the bowlers speed. With a low tilt a maxxed out with a mild layout or a Nexxxus with a benchmark layout and a little surface to get ball to read sooner.

For a bowler who is rev dominant (i want to get the ball to transition later), low tilt, I'd use a benchmark layout on a versa max with a light scuff or with a high tilt a karma solid with a mild layout and maybe surface it then use compound.

Stats help us help you by give us a better visual and most importantly,.... NUMBERS! Numbers allow us to plug and play so we can manipulate the ball to the bowlers attributes. Get me some numbers and I can get you an arsenal built.
