monster bruiser or BVP punisher
« on: February 27, 2005, 06:55:03 AM »
today i was at the pba, and my buddy and i got free balls. Ive never thrown brunswick, but i can either take a monster bruiser, or the punisher. I think both are for med-light oil but im not sure. So, any recomendations as to which is better, my stats are in profile, and i want something to go a bit longer and flip, so which is better?

if you have the chance i would! The monsters are being phased out, I would deffinitly try to get the bruiser also if you can. Its a GREAT control ball!

have all of you thrown the punisher?


I have.  Mine is drilled with the 4L layout from the drill sheet, and it fits dead square between my Bruiser (also drilled 4L) and my SlayR (drilled 5 x 5, ring finger through pin).  The Punisher is about three boards weaker overal than the Bruiser, with the majority of that in the midlane.

Hope this helps.

It doesn't so much flip as go into a strong arc.  I had a Power Groove drilled simiarly, and it had a much harder change of direction.  The Punisher has a strong move, but it's more predictable.

Yes monsters are being taken out of the line up, I am pretty sure.

i think i have more hand then i think i do in the ball, which im not so proud of, becuase im trying to get my balls to have some more forward roll, and then revv up and make a hook to the pocket. My balls are hooking too soon even with polish on then because i have a bit too much hand in the ball.

Actually, they've already started this process;  the BVP line is the replacement for the mid-range Monster line.
