Monster Scream R vs BVP Punisher
« on: May 17, 2006, 02:46:53 AM »
There's a guy in my bowling team who has a 16" Monster Scream R. He wants a 15" Monster Scream R but you can't find one here in Sweden anymore. The closest one according to the Brunswick dealer here in Sweden is the BVP Punisher and if you lokk at the numbers they are similar. I'm wondering what you Brunswick guys here think about that? He plays sort of straight up between 2nd and 3rd arrow..

Punisher fills the same gap as the ScreamR, and in time between them the Frenzy. Frenzy had same coverstock, different, stronger core, Punisher has a new generation coverstock which is also used on MoRich's Sahara and some international balls like the Master Zone (Korea release, I think, hourglass core from Control Zone).

If your friend wants to stick with Big B, the Punisher will be the ticket, but the core is stronger (more RG Diff.) and probably "snappier" than the old ScreamR.

Another option to consider is a pearl recative Power Groove. Even though it is just an entry level ball, the PK17 kicks butt and it is a little more arcing than the Punisher on comparable conditions. But these are pretty strong balls, underrated, and cheap, too.

I wonder what it costs to ship a 15# NIB Scream/R there.



I got one with a 2-3" pin.

Checked the shipping cost at Buddies Proshop:

UPS Express Expedited $188

UPS Worldwide Express $194

UPS Worldwide Express Plus $239

Cost to much to get it here to Sweden..
