I liked it better when it is called a Strike King.

So you're saying this is a hybrid, but stronger version of a Strike King?

I don't believe in hybrid or most other terms. Im saying from watching the video and looking at the chart if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck then it's cheaper to buy a Strike King.

So if this is supposed to be a step down from the melee why is it the same price?

If the "pearl" version of any ball is a step down from the original "solid" version why is it the same price?

Because people will pay it.

I think they cancelled the rebate program b/c SOOO many shops were not passing it along to customers as it was intended.

Not passing a rebate along to a customer is a common, old practice in any retail business. This shouldn't surprise anyone. It's the business' way of making additional profit particularly to an uninformed public.

Brunswick also made rebates available to the customer by mailing in their UPC off the box from purchase. I did that on my Wicked Siege.

The Strike King and the Brute share absolutely nothing in common.  The RG of the strike king weight block is a lot higher and the differential is not the same.  The Brute also is only the second ball to use the new fortify base coverstock that was previously used on the Fortera Exile.  While I haven't thrown the new Brute yet, if the tendencies of the cover hold true it will be much more like the Exile.  The Exile is much stronger down lane than a Strike King.

I'll be glad to show a Brute vs Strike King video to show how much different they are.

They really don't compare. Brute will fit above LT48 and below Melee Cross.

If the Brute uses the same base as the Exile, then it will not even be close to a Strike King.  The Exile's cover is amazingly strong, especially downlane.
