Fools go where brave men fear to tread!

  Yes, TJ, you are entitled to your opinion, everyone is.  I hope your opinion never changes. I used to throw some track, and really liked the mutant, but for me nothing, absolutely NOTHING, has matched up for me like the latest releases from brunswick.

  My average has never been higher, I've never won so many pots, never placed in the money in so many tournaments, and never kicked as many butts as I have since I went back to the big "B".

  As an example, I will use my leagues.  I was averaging 210-215 on the two leagues I am bowling in, with a high series of 740.  In the last month I have averaged over 238 in both of them, with three series(774,767,746) over anything I have shot previously this year and nothing has changed except for my equipment.

 It has been more readable, predictable, and reliable than anything I have EVER thrown ( except for a pink hammer I had back in the day )!


 No, TJ, I bear you no ill will, just in my heart I know nothing can compete on an even keel with brunswick right now.  I am in no way trying to "diss" anyone's ball company of preference, just haven't ever seen anything like the activator covers and what they are capable of.

Brunswick will soon own the world.
You must face it.
There is no escape.

Let me start off that I don't put down a ball company due to not using them. Wanted to state that right away. After I switched from Track to Brunswick I noticed the same things more consistent reactions with everything from them then I did with Track. For me to say that after using Track only for many years is hard to say. I am now a big fan of the BIG B.

While I was in Birmingham last week, I overheard a ball rep for a company saying that some of his staff wanted to try the Absolute Inferno. His way of thinking was if they want to try it to see if it is the ball or them that makes the difference let them try it. With that being said and now Duke and Monecelli left the Columbia family and both used Brunswick this week what does that say about just that one ball? To me it says a lot. For Track to loose someone who has been on their staff for years is HUGE. To say that Brunswick is not on a huge high right now after having a former AMF staffer use their equipment and win the first time out says a lot for the current line up.

nothing fancy or catchy to say in my signature

I love these type of posts.  You guys really make my day.  And I'm not saying anything to pick on any Brunswick fans it's people who are big fans of any particular equipment.  The Track die hards, the Lane#1, etc who will defend their precious companies to the end.   It's just good reading on slow boring days at work.  You can't refute Bruns recent success though, so you can't take anything away from them.  I don't throw them, they don't match up well for me, but it's hard to deny the fact that they are everywhere.  From TV to leagues.  And for the people that say seeing Brunswick win on TV doesn't equate to them buying the product that's fine but that does sell more balls.  From the youth bowlers who watch to the relative newbies just starting out.  There's no greater marketing strategy than winning for bowling.  Just my opinion on this rainy monday...
