Why doesn't Brunswick just re-make this ball. Everybody likes it, and they would make a killing in sales.

IMHO, take a Smash Zone and take the OOB shine off of it. Either Rough Buff or something in the 2-4.000 Abralon range should do. The SZ is cleaner through the heads than the AI, but the overall reaction shape is IMO very similar. You might also take a look at the overseas balls, there had been several AI remakes in disguise, if I remember correctly.

Prime Zone (overseas) is the same ball I believe. If you can find one.

Brunswick is comparing the Rattler to The AI. Just a little longer and stronger. Haven't thrown one yet, maybe someone else can compare.

Rattler looks very close to Original Inferno. It should be "slightly" longer due to the core. If I remember correctly, Rob said here that those two are very similar with a little stronger driller on Rattler in comparison to Original Inferno.

With the same surface and drilling, my Absolute is stronger down the lane than my OI.
