Just was wondering if any of the staffers would spill the beans a little and leak what Brunswick and DV8 are releasing this summer. i see many other companies have already announced what they are coming out with. I want to buy a Meanstreak Brawler but was waiting to see what else was being released. Some rumors have stated that they would be announced on june 17th. Is this true? Any little hints would be awesome!

I have heard nothing...reno booth said theyre the last to know ..bowl.com has nothing..the Japanese sunbrdge site also has nothing...
Cmon staffers haha!
-
I know nothing. I actually quit asking years ago. When Brunswick wants me to know I will get an email, and then usually start salivating...
-
Second to what Lane said, we know nothing. June 17 is the information release date though.
-
I wonder if there will be anything in the line up to replace the Versa-Max.
-
I also hope for a versa max replacement. what a great ball that was. Also i hope they come out with a ball similar to what they had with the original revolver a few years back. Something in a duller pearl coverstock with a nice strong symmetric core.
-
I wanna third the Versa Max. It was in my bag for the second year at nationals, thank god, I've never taken the same ball two years in a row in 16 years. I even drilled a Maxxed Out a couple of days before we left and really liked that ball also. Its a shame that they were discontinued.
-
After just discontinuing the Versa-Max, I wonder why they would issue a replacement. While it seemed so popular on this web site, that is unfortunately no reflection of what sales it generated in the real world. It wasn't the skid/flip monster that 90% of the house pattern bowlers indicate they love and will buy in droves. While it had a strong backend, it followed the Brunswick creed of control, with a ton of carry power.
As most of you know, backend and overall hook is the only gauge that vast majority of bowlers use as a criterion for desirability. Shame. I'd suggest you get one while they're still available. I'd hope Brunswick would market a similar ball in the near future, but since "flip" is what sells, it's likely they will try to do more of that in the next releases.

Charlest , I 100 percent agree with your point. I have the unique position that my parents own a bowling center that my brother manages and runs the pro shop. I can't tell you how many times we have had this conversation about what the house hacks want and what they actually need.
