Due to work and rehabbing a broken right hand I haven't thrown a bowling ball since April.  I still get my ball-whore on from time to time and I've been sitting on a pile of new and used equipment in my closet.  I was shuffling around some things and one of my favorite Balls of all time (all companies, not just the big B) I pulled out of the box in my closet





 my first reaction was:



Then after it sunk in, "Where the hell am I going to find another one of these NIB?"

My reaction went to this:



For my slower speed, rev dominate style this ball was money for me from anywhere on the lane on a THS and great on flatter patterns because it stays on line so well to the breakpoint and was super continuous.  I'm eyeballing a February return to practice (With a 12-13lb ball until I can make it back to 15 by summer hopefully), so what would be close in the Brunswick line to the C-System 4.5?  The Brute maybe?  The contradiction on paper of a low RG/low diff pearl vs a high RG/high diff pearl has me confused on what to replace this with. 

I have plenty of time to scour eBay in the next few months, but from anyone who has thrown the C-System 4.5, what have you found that was close?

I had a 4.5, I loved the reaction...just didn't carry...but man I loved it.  Mine was super clean and just made a nice crisp move, that's it. 

It may still be available:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/121494366052?lpid=82

Sorry for your loss. But LOL at your reaction post. That was classic. 

I noticed my plum particle pearl split sitting on my rack yesterday. . Shot 296 with that ball. LOL.

Yes, the Brute would have a similar reaction to the C-System 4.5, but will have a stronger motion down lane.  A better choice would be a Platinum Ringer which would have a similar motion to the C-System 4.5.
