One new ball which one?
« on: August 09, 2006, 01:00:45 PM »
I am new to the sight but have a quick question.

If you had to choose between the Red Zone and Radical which one
 
would you choose? I currently have no Brunswick equipment in my arsenal.

I have seen alot of good scores in my current league from the Absolute and Vapor.

I currently have a One, Big One and Track Arsenal Aggressive.

Sorry don't have the balls specs, would just like to hear your suggestions.

Why would you want a higher end ball when you already have 3 of them?  Just curious.  From what you have already, I would choose the Radical simply because 2 of the 3 current balls you have are designed for midlane and continuation.  The Radical gives you something a little different from the others.

I agree with MegaMav......The Absolute Inferno. I traded a NIB Track Machine for a NIB Absolute Inferno a couple weeks or so ago and that is one of the best decisions/trades I have ever done. For me and my style, the Absolute rocks. Even my pro shop driller agreed. When I told him what I did, he asked "what ball did you trade for?" and when I told him the Absolute, he said thatwas the smartet move I could have ever made. For me, that ball is so versatile. Can't speak for others, but it is for me.

The Absolute is a great ball, most versatile one I have.
Tonight I went to a six lane synthetic house at a bar.  They told me they hadn't oiled the lanes once this summer!  After throwing two games in the 160's with dry lanes balls (Flipside Panic and Punisher)
I moved to standing on 36 board and targeting 4th arrow with Absolute Inferno and got 6x and 212.  I am not an inside player.  I usually play 12 or 14 to 7 on medium to fresh shot.  On a fresh shot this ball will put down 6 to 8 strikes for me in a game, if I can do my part.

This just shows what a great versatile, good carrying ball the Absolute is. The ball rolls so well after first frame tonight on the dry lanes (a split) I figured out line and closed out the rest of the frames. You might get other balls, but I don't see how you could go wrong with this one.

Steven gave you good advice on the Radical Inferno.  That will be the next ball I get to compliment my Absolute.  Supposed to go a little longer to breakpoint and have sharper breakpoint with more backend.  For me I am hoping to have different line to play as lanes break down and Absolute starts to leave 10 pin.  I wouldn't be afraid to buy a new Brunswick ball as they have a great reputation for their coverstocks the last few years. It has similar specs to Absolute so it should roll awesome.
