building line up on a budget
« on: February 03, 2015, 03:22:40 PM »
ok been while since had thrown Brunswick....but I like what I see lately that Brunswick is putting out......so money tight but I think can get three balls to make a line up....so been putting in the research this what I think could make a good line up....was thinking start with BRUTE or MELE CROSS as heavy to medium oil, then was thinking medium to light oil was MELE JAB, then light to dry oil GOLD RHINO or LT48....well what I think so if you have other suggestions let me hear it...o by the way throwing speed 15,medium revs, down and in type player...thanks for the help

Cross, Exile, LT48

^^This! Cross is strong solid symmetrical (medium to heavy), Exile is skid flip asymm (medium), and LT48 (medium to dry) is clean yet has very smooth motion and extremely versatile. If a customer came to me and wanted an arsenal on a budget, this would be it in a heartbeat.

If DV8 is an option (made by Brunswick), Buddie's Pro Shop has good prices on the Ruckus and Endless Nightmare; one of them could serve as the oil ball with the right surface.

Otherwise, I'd go with the Mastermind as others have mentioned.

dougb,

The Cross is 3-4 boards stronger than the original Melee for me, and the Jab is the cleanest and strongest late on the lane. I can play similar lines to the pocket, just that the Cross reads earlier while the Jab saves everything for the last 15 feet or so.


Thanks Lane sounds like the Cross would be a better bet for me.

My 2 cents.  Melee Cross, Melee Jab, Strike King.

You could easily do the Blue Ringer instead of the Cross, if you choose.  The Jab carries EVERYTHING for me, so it's a favorite.  On the dry the Strike King has been very good for playing straighter up the boards.

If you are looking THS and sticking with only Brunswick. On a budget the blue ringer is a good ball and the strike king is awesome. 

If you are open to Radical the Grease Monkey POW is decent on med-heavy shots, and it wont break the bank either. Someone mentioned the Reax V2 as a heavy ball, I would suggest to knock off the factory surface if you go Reax V2.

 a budget brunswick arsenal i would go with the blue ringer as the benchmark then brute or lt48 below and melee cross above unless you can find  one of the masterminds on closeout

Mastermind at 99 is a must. The cover takes to adjustment and can be used for heavy to medium if you need to. Exile in middle. I did not like the lt 48 so I would look at something else in the light oil slot.
