Title: Replacement for Karma Solid
Post by: captzap on April 08, 2016, 09:53:05 AM

Looking to replace my Karma Solid with something newer with similar roll and length. Want to stay with Brunswick and am thinking of the Vintage Danger Zone with a weaker drilling. How about it?

The Soul or an LT-48 with a surface adjustment could possibly get you close too.

I know it is not Brunswick, but it is under the same umbrella. I would go with a Rack Attack Solid. It is smooth and predictable like the karma solid, and not too strong.

It's my understanding the Karma was replaced by the Ringer series, which was replaced by the Soul/Soulmate pieces. I'm not a fan of the Soul/Soulmate. So I'm with 10-pin. I'd try Radical's Rack Attack solid. But also look around for the Ringer solid. There are some out there.

The Vintage Danger Zone would be a good choice for the Karma Solid replacement because they both have the light bulb core. Another good replacement would be the Soul Solid which would be a little weaker than the Danger Zone.

I had a Strike King and Karma Blue/Green pearl both drilled on the Rico layout and the Strike king was board for board with the Karma.

My LT48 is way more ball.  If you want an near exact replacement get the a strike king if you want more ball the Ringers, souls,  and others will be more.

Rack attack solid according to my Brunswick fanatic friend...

Rack Attack Solid is really close and you can probably go with the same layout, just consider removing the polish as it comes fairly glossy

My Rack Attack Solid came at 4000.  Cover is fairly strong and for me is more useful polished than at 4000.  Stronger than my LT which I prefer without polish.
