Post by: YeahHossNV on June 25, 2007, 10:41:58 PM: Yes the T2 core is true. This line should sell very for pro shops. It has a very basic, proven, can't go wrong core/cover combo. The pearl looks visually appealing so far. As for the solid there are no computer graphics of it yet.

Post by: dizzyfugu on June 26, 2007, 03:21:10 AM: I heard the rumor that they would contain the ScreamR core? Anyway, a mild differential ball with a lower RG than the PGs makes much sense, especially a mild pearl that is less itchy than the discontinued Punisher. I just wonder where the solid ends up in Brunswick's arsenal?

Post by: YeahHossNV on June 26, 2007, 07:00:03 AM: I just saw the pic in brunswicks approach magazine. If I get time tomorrow I will try to scan them to the computer. It looks like it's either purple/silver or blue/silver the photos aren't real large.

Dizzy, the ScreamR core is the Rhino T2 core, The ScreamR was an X-zone Tour Edition 2 remake. The T2 core was extremely popular and extremely successful.

Title: Re: Avalanche?
Post by: dizzyfugu on June 26, 2007, 07:10:19 AM: Ah, thank you for the clarification. It is the one with the low 0.023" differential, right? I just wondered, because the ScreamR had a slightly higher differential of 0.032" (I guess densities differed), which I think is the more likely option unless the Avalanches are for really light oil or even dry turf?

Title: Re: Avalanche?
Post by: Bigmike on June 26, 2007, 09:49:13 AM: If I remember correctly the solid is a PK17 cover, the pearl is N'Control. At least that is what the "talkers" state on them.

So if this is correct, you have the Sapphire Zone/Power Groove cover on a T-2 core for the solid and the NControl cover on a T-2 core for the pearl.

Definitely a step up from the Grooves and a notch below the BVP line.

Sounds like a great move as all of the major ball companies are doing this in their lines at the price point of starter or 2nd level above entry level. They are keeping tried and true shapes/cover stock combos and not rehashing them as there top shelf products.

Now this is not solid info as I seem to remember seeing the old weight block from the WRW/Gold Rhino Pro somewhere in the mix....damn it stinks to get old

Post by: Lillen on June 26, 2007, 01:09:55 PM: "With the Monster ScreamR Brunswick has moved itâ€™s popular Nâ€™Control PowerStock coverstock system to the mid-price point"

So the Avalanche Pearl is the same as the ScreamR but in 2007!?

Title: Re: Avalanche?
Post by: YeahHossNV on June 26, 2007, 10:47:58 PM: I heard that it is the T2 core. I believe the reason for them using the .032 differential on the ScreamR is that that the reason the X-Zone TE 2 was discontinued was that Bayer couldn't get one of the chemicals to make the N'Control coverstock. So the Brunswick R and D team had to reformulate a similar cover to call N'Control but the New N'Control is a little weaker than the original so they had to increase the diff. to create a similar ball rection.

Boy was I off a mile on that. I checked out the site and found out the solid is going to be PK18 with rough buff on it. Good coverstock with some lite shine over a lower diff weight block. Sounds like a great starter ball or pure control ball for the advanced player.

That's amazing how you bought the same ball that is in the earlier picture post. I've never seen two balls with the exact same swirl pattern before.

I suppose I could take screenshots if really needed.

Dang, should have gone to Bowl Expo. If anything just to stand next to that tall girl and have her look down at me even with me being 6'4.

Uhh, Well I thought most people would have made the connection that it was out of the same magazine. I was just getting a better picture of it.

Title: Re: Avalanche?
Post by: laner7pin on July 01, 2007, 12:06:41 PM: I like the color schemes from what I saw in Nick's video:
Solid Blue/Red similar to the Colorado Avalanche home jerseys
Pearl Blue/White similar to Colorado's away jersey (and white for snow)

Looking forward to getting those in, will probably drill the solid for me and the pearl for the wife (she needs to replace her power groove bad).

Post by: crankncrash on July 02, 2007, 01:24:06 PM: So what is the cover? I was hearing PK18 solid and Pk18 Pearl and on that core, that means I am shooting a couple of 900s this year (prebowled of course). The X zone TE1 may live again? I will have 3 if so!
