Title: Brunswick Predator?
Post by: Peep on August 23, 2009, 08:07:19 AM: Does anyone know of a Brunswick ball called the 'Predator'?
It's a mid-green color and looks like sanded urethane but may be resin.
Someone locally has one for sale and I can't find any info it. It is definitely a Brunswick product...not Ebonite.
Thanks for any info.

The Raptor was the same thing...

That is unless it's this one, but you said it's not an Ebonite piece - http://ebonite.com/products/product_detail/predator_jungle_green

Post by: Peep on October 21, 2009, 01:24:23 PM: Just for the record, I ended up buying this ball and it was very much like a Urethane Black Rhino. I would say made around 1991 by the look of the Brunswick font.
