Brunswick Predator?
« on: August 23, 2009, 08:07:19 AM »
Does anyone know of a Brunswick ball called the 'Predator'?
It's a mid-green color and looks like sanded urethane but may be resin.
Someone locally has one for sale and I can't find any info it. It is definitely a Brunswick product...not Ebonite.
Thanks for any info.

Brunswick doesn't have a Predator ball that's on the USBC approved list! If this guy has one it's not approved and the only Predator ball is Ebonite and it's red! Brunswick doesn't have a international ball with that name either!

More than likely it's a ball that Brunswick produces for the sporting goods stores and stuff like that.  It's little more than a 3-piece core with a urethane or reactive cover.

The Raptor was the same thing...

That is unless it's this one, but you said it's not an Ebonite piece - http://ebonite.com/products/product_detail/predator_jungle_green

If it's the one on craigslist, the link said that the listing had been deleted. It was in canada.

Ebonite also made a jungle green particle predator. I have one NIB. 16lb FS if anybody is interested.

Just for the record, I ended up buying this ball and it was very much like a Urethane Black Rhino. I would say made around 1991 by the look of the Brunswick font.
