Do Brunswick have any "rolly" balls anymore?
« on: March 31, 2012, 07:16:28 PM »
I love the rolly type reaction of past Brunswick balls....Danger Zone, Time Zone, Goliath, Nemesis etc...

Is there anything new that has that type of roll?

Was the Revolver considered rolly?

I heard the karma solid was a remake of the danger zone never threw the zone but my karma is very rolly i had it drilled pin under my bridge and then took the polish of it now it rolls very well polished it was too jumpy for me.

Lethal Revolver is "rolly" for me.

The SlingShot, Avalanche Urethane, Avalanche Pearl, & the Anaconda (green/black) have all been fairly "rolly" for me.
 
Keep in mind that surface and drilling can, in many cases, but all, alter the basic characteristics of a ball.
 
Whereas the Danger Zone you mentioned above, was one of the flippiest balls I ever owned. That was just a bad experience back in '97 or so, and might have been the fault of the drilling that was used, to which I had no input at the time.

 There seems to be a big lack of understanding with bowling ball reactions and surfrace prep. Many people use to complain about Brunswick only making rolly equipment and not anything with skid snap. Well Ive not had that issue. Almost any bowling ball that is pearlized will give you a skidsnap reaction. On the other side almost any ball thats a solid can give you a rolly reaction.

It works by knowing surface as well and having the ability to knock the shine off a ball or add polish to a ball to aide with your drilling layout to get your desired reaction.  Surface goes a long way and adjusting surface will work wonders. Its not magic, but can be when you see how much of an effect it can have on any bowling ball.

+1 drill patterns make a big difference also, you can set a ball up to do alot of different
things with the proper surface prep and drill patterns

kidlost,
 
While I agree with you, you forgot to add the additional factor of the bowler's release.
I've seen people here talk about some very flippy balls having an even, rolly, arcing reaction as their basic designed-in reaction. I'd guess that either their driller "fixed" the ball for them or else, their release fosters an even reaction from most balls. They might have a combination of too much ball speed and very few revs which will cut down the backend on many, many balls or they might have a very high track with not enough tilt or rotation.

 Thats true. There are many factors but I believe surface adjusments really allow for many many great possibilities with any ball. It makes me laugh when I hear or read people say things like Brunswick only makes rolly equipment ect ect. It shows how with all the technology and information available today most people are not able to learn from it.

The Massive Damage and the Damage are both rolly pieces for me, but that was the desired effect I went for when I asked my driller to put a standard cg in palm label drill on them for me.  I have no doubt that with a more aggressive drills and strong surfaces that both balls would flip for me off the friction.

 I found the time zones to be very flippy in reaction...
