Really isn't much comparison Jon.  The V2 Sanded is by far more overall ball than the Bruiser.  Stronger up front, stronger in the midlane and MUCH stronger in the backends.  Probably why ALOT of touring players have at least ONE V2 sanded still in their bag...somewhere.  The Bruiser is a solid medium condition ball.....reads a little earlier (to me) due to the traditional Brunswick coverstock with a lot less pop, in comparison, to the
V2 sanded.  Not knocking Big B or the Bruiser, just from my own observations....the V2 Sanded is a stronger ball all the way around the lane.  Hope this helps some.  Peace

Thanks D.

I justed wanted an opinion from another person's view. Lately i
have been trying out the Brunswick line. It's been taking a while to get use to.
Before i use to throw all ebonite. I've had the main V2 line balls and they fit
every condition.

The Brunswick equipment does roll early and sets up in the back more. But i agree with you that the V2 line is a little stronger all around but very smooth also.

You might find the discussion on the following thread interesting:

It starts about halfway down, where some jerk decides to hijack the thread and start talking about the "V2" reaction.

The Curse of Dusty: The V2 is a great ball. I like the ball a lot. It's versatile, forgiving and gives you room. The bruiser on the other hand is ok when you have a good amount of oil in the middle and a little dry out side. I too have to keep the ball in oil to see the ball be effective. You have to let the Bruiser see a little friction but not too much. When the lanes are a little dryer, the bruiser seems to check up or set up and not have the kick.
