The first high end pearl from Brunswick since the Nexxxus... This ball flips!

Wasn't the Exile a high end pearl?

Yes and no. Exile is in the Flip category, not the Hook. It's up there, but not quite the top shelf.

So even though the fortera series has a higher cost than the Mastermind series, Brunswick doesn't consider it a high end series...that's interesting.

I'm really thinking the Scholar will be off the charts for people on a house shot. It has me interested a lot

Most of the Masterminds have the $20 instant consumer rebate, Intellect does not though.

I'm going to get some video footage real soon, I'm really impressed with the Scholar. I drilled mine 30x6x35 with a small P1 hole and I can really open up the lane.

I love my Nexxxus and look forward to trying the Scholar

Nick,

How do you Compare the C System Ultimax to the Scholar?

Thanks,

It's been awhile since I've thrown the UltiMax, but it seems the Scholar stands up on friction and changes direction harder. I can move in and open up my angles with more confidence, which is typical with a lower RG ball.

I'll have the video up soon. Rendering now.

This ball is pretty fun to throw, even when I miss it doesn't miss.

Two things.  I know it's early, but how does it compare to the Jab/Exile/Gold RP?  Lots of pearls and possibly some overlap.

I love the RATM music choice!

I haven't thrown the Exile or Jab against it, but if it helps any the Rhino Pro video was shot at the same time.
