Hey everyone, just thought i'd make a post about this.
I just recently decided to take the plunge and try out some BigB equipment. I've always wanted to, but I tried staying brand loyal to Hammer, which is slowly ending. My first Brunswick was a Fury.. but we sure won't get into that.
Anyways, my second BigB ball is the Blast Zone. I bought it used from a user on here, and he just so happens to have the same span as me and thumb. Very odd, but i'm happy. The way it's drilled is a 5.5" pin, 4.5" MB layout for me. Here comes a little "FIGJAM" but i'm just happy to say this! I shot 724, 745, 701 as my first 3 series out of the used ball box with this ball. I've NEVER done that before. The Blast Zone gets down the lane, sets up, and just rolls into the pocket. A very smooth, even roll, with HARD hitting power.
Next up, I got the brand new Wild Ride. The ball is drilled 4" pin, 4 3/4" MB layout for me. This ball is definition of control and reliability. I feel as if this will be a ball that can come through when nothing else will. It gets super easy length, with a controllable flip off the backend. The only problem I feel this ball has is its' forgivness. If you throw it out too much, prepare for washout city. Otherwise, the ball is absolute money. Very hard hitting power. I thought nothing hit like a Hammer til you throw a Brunswick. Dang.
Last, but not least, my Smash Zone just got drilled up tonight. I can't wait to take this puppy out.
2/21 UPDATE: Had my first chance to take out my Smash Zone today in league. Right out of the box, 256 game 697 series. The ball is tremendous. It rolls just how I expected, too. It has a sweet coverstock around a Low RG core, so that sounds to me like Hammer Pyscho, in a way. The Smash is clean through the heads with a hard, continuous arc off the break. What a ball this thing is. I left a pocket 8 and a pocket 9, which I usually don't. The hit was just great and the reaction was great along with it.
Now.. I can't wait to get my MaXXX Zone!
Thanks for reading this long post! I'm just very happy with these pieces. Here's the pics of all that has been talked about.
