Ok here's my last brunswick question...I promise!
« on: May 17, 2004, 06:01:55 AM »
Ok, Usually when I find a ball that I like I tend to stick with it and get another one(or another ball in it's family that has the same core) with a different drill to yield a different reaction but still have a similar look on the lanes.  

Some balls are more adaptable to different drills than others so in your opinion what would be the most versatile Brunswick release to get 2 or 3 of and drill differently with different cover prep for a good 1-2 combo?  Time Zone?  Bruiser?  Ultimate Inferno?

i'd say the inferno or time zone.  Ultimate is too much ball, regardless or coverprep.  The assymetrical drillings make the time zone pretty versatile, but i like the activator coverstock on the original inferno better.  If you can, maybe wait till they come out with the classic zone, i guess end of summer sometime.

not true, the bruiser will do anything from a very mellow early arc to a fairly long hard arc. I would suggest the bruiser, the mushroom core is very versatile, and the cover, well, my god the cover can be anything you want it to be!

Ok, I currently have a Command Zone Arc, Blazing Inferno, and Teal Rhino(among a bunch of other stuff from other companies), but all I want to throw is the Brunswick stuff.  I'm not lacking in the hand department(about 360-380 rpms) but I do have a higher speed.  So, based on my style how would this setup look?

(Quantum Core Base)
Slate Blue Quantum 4x2(Med load particle, Bruiser type weightblock.  I still can get this NIB)
Bruiser 4x2
Command Zone Arc 4x4
Bruiser 2x2
Blazing Inferno 5x4
Teal Rhino 4 x 4

as opposed to this option

(Inferno Core Based)
Ultimate Inferno 2x2
Inferno 4x2
Command Zone Arc 4x4
Inferno 2x2
Blazing Inferno 5x4
Teal Rhino 4x4

DP3-I like the first setup.  It seems more versatile.

NOt on your lists but I'll tell you.

That Time Zone core shows dramatically different reactions based on different drillings.  The strong mass bias exagerates differences.

A friend of mine is well noted for having a very up the back release with little backend.  His time zone drilled 3 3/8 X 5 provides such a sharp backend for him I didn't believe it was him.  

On the other hand.  Mine drilled 4 X 2 takes my normal SHARP angular backend and rounds it off so it is just a hard revvin slurve!!!

REgards,

PS you are missing out on one of Brunswick's best cores.  My favorite core from Brunswick was the Pro Zone Violet, Impact Zone, BZ Bullet.  Man every one of those balls worked for me.  Over and over and over.
