Ball has already been included in Brunswick's current ball comparison chart on their website, but graphics and data needs to be updated.

Official text from Spobag Germany:
Brunswick low load particle balls are traditionally admit for their excellent pavement grip in the oil and their strong reaction in the dry range of the course. This kind of reaction was for a long time popular with high level players, who look out for a predictable reaction within the central range of the course.

Predecessor models of low load of particle balls were built on basis of the PowrKoil 18 shell. The Impulses works on the basis of the activator technology.

This provides for more length and stronger reaction in baking, more hooks potential, more tolerance and stronger impact force in the pins. The Impulse uses medium RG version of the Ultra Low RG of asymmetric core system ZONE of the Classic.
0.6 pounds was shifted from the internal core to the outside core, in order to achieve the described reaction of the ball. Out OF the box: The impulse zone is suitable for centraldry to centraloily courses.

Sounds good, may just have to get one. Notice how the last 2 balls from Big B have the same colors as older balls:

Impulse Zone looks like a Scream 'R
BVP Punisher looks like an Attitude 3

For the next ball they should make a Particle Pearl BVP that looks like an old Combat Zone Tracer, that would be sweet.

I think I'll have to pass on this one.  Between the Warp and the Classic, I've got enough asymmetrical Zones in the bag.

You can never have too many brunswicks in the bag.

Besides, this one is so sexy, you can't ignore it.

I'm only interested in color.  LOL!

This colour looks REAL boring, coz it's only ONE colour.  I like multicolored balls, 'cause when you rev them, they look cool.

Yeah, but trying to cram that seventh ball into a six-ball bag is a real pain.

Same here, but the only color I care about is green, which is the color of the money I'll win with the ball.

The eight and ninth are even tougher.  Maybe thats why the seams ripped?

And DK, what you talking about "revving it down the lane", you're a fluffer, remember?

Oh and Dkid, the particles are one color because brunswick isn't currently able to produce multi-colored particle balls.

Is it just me, or does the ball in that picture look like it either has some white near the bottom and top and/or slight pearlization?

Probably phasing.  I have an Eliminator in the closet that has so much phasing that it looks like a multi-color ball.
