I enjoyed the recent thread on PowerKoil 18 coverstock. I just pulled my Wizard out of the closet (my first ball ever) and had it drilled rico. It's quickly becoming a favorite... the PK18 cover with a little polish and that drilling can handle almost any lane conditions I see these days.

I bowl in league with a guy who uses older Brunswick equipment, and he swears by both the PK18 and Activator coverstocks for their long life. Watching him throw 250+ games with his original Danger Zone and Blazing Inferno, I can see why.

So what do the Big-B fans think about these two coverstocks and how they compare? Or are there other covers you prefer?

Every PK18 ball I have still works great. The Activator balls I've had seem to really get oil saturated and lose their reaction. A buddy of mine pulled his Vapor Zone out of his bag this Summer and found a puddle of oil in the bottom of the bag and on the ball. I'd take the PK18 over any other cover Brunswick has.

The PK18 will probably always have a place in the Brunswick line up. The new Black Green Avalanche is the best yet IMO. It is a weaker pearl when compared to the latest covers, but it is more durable because of the formulation.

When the lanes get drier I always reach for the Rampage and the B/G Avalanche.
