If you've thrown a Nemesis, you've thrown a Wizard.

Why do you guys think Brunswick came out with the same ball
but just another name and color?

You think the orange wasn't selling?

Don't really think it was that, it's just bruns felt like they needed that type of reaction if their lineup, so instead of scrapping it they just remade the ball with a new color design.

Check the numbers.  Same core, cover, surface prep, RG, diff, hook potential, length, shape,...  I see nothing wrong with what Brunswick did, they are in the business of making money.

I like the newer color, but the old "NEMESIS" logo.  The wierd "WIZARD" logo looks all funkety and maybe a bit *ay. <edited for p.c. sensitivity> ( can I say that here?).

I believe they came out with the Wizard simply because the Nemesis was not attractive to the eye.  I am sure the Time series balls were outselling the Nemesis from my own experience.  The Wizard gives the BVP line more shelf appeal.

Nemesis was out for a while too. It probably got stale and people got bored with it. A modified re-release would pick sales up again.

But other than color, how'd they modify it?

I take re-release to be the exact same ball, color, name, and all. Therefore, the Nemesis was modified in that sense.

If anything...maybe put an additive to the coverstock to make it a touch stronger.  Other then that, they did not modify it at all.
