Punisher would be the way to go. If you're looking for burnt conditions, then drill with a longer pin to pap distance, and use flare reducing x-holes.

Everything in the Zone Series would be too aggressive and overlap some of your current equipment. You could polish up a zone ball but its reaction would be similar or slightly more stronger. No sense in that. I agree with Nick 100% here.

Whats your reason for not liking x-holes?? Nick has a video that shows how weight holes can help the balls reaction over a drilling without that weight hole. Without that weight hole on my Scorchin Inferno it would not be the hook monster I want it to be.

Your entire arsenal is Brunswick? That is a terrible arsenal, you need some variety. I am always amazed at how someone could think balls from ANY one company would be a good arsenal lol. Plus looking at those balls you listed YOU must only bowl in houses with real good heads.


Whats wrong with an all 1 brand arsenal?? I have all I could want for different ball reactions with my All Brunswick arsenal. I bowl in many different houses and normally score well. As for your other comment of "Plus looking at those balls you listed YOU must only bowl in houses with real good heads", Thats completely untrue as I have done several 6+ game qualifier tournaments (no not anything PBA related yet) and I have not had any problem with my equipment hooking at my feet as most like to say. When the ball does actually start checking up I either move my line back into the oil or use a weaker ball. Easy as that.

Side Note:
I know there will always be brunswick haters, what ever, brunswick is the best companty for me and thats all that really matters.

Watcher, i disagree with your statement.   Some people CAN use all equipment, i personally cannot.  I havent EVER found a storm or track ball that fit my game well, nor have i ever liked anything from ebonite or lane 1.  From my experience, 2 companies fit my game, hammer & brunswick.  Now, i AM aware that ebonite now makes hammer, but i still feel that the hammer line is better than the ebonite line.

To say everyone needs to use different companies is not always true.  If your game permits the use of any companies eqiupment, awesome, mine doesnt.

BTW, my arsenal right now is
Morich TSA(selling it soon, just dont really like it much)
Raw Hammer Pain
Raw Hammer Doom
Black widow
Smokin inferno white pin
Spare

Im about to buy a total inferno, shine it a little, add a flare increasing weight hole, & drill it fairly strong, so it will fit a bit above my pain.

Isn't that why manufacturers unroll an entire line of balls so the bowler CAN make a full arsenal from them?

It can be done from virtually any manufacturer...

So your combined 207 average satisfies you? Maybe if You tried some different ball companies you could boost your average a little. Dont limit yourself to one company, you never know until you try something different.


How do you know that I havnt tried other companies??

Lane#1; not impressed with the cost versus performance
Morich; same deal
Track; wasnt happy with most ball reactions, didnt feel solid on the lanes
Columbia 300; havnt like anything from them since the Ti Messenger
Storm; Monster balls from the start then tame down super fast plus the different fragrances annoy me while bowling (who needs to smell Strawberry or Cinnimon Toast....)
Hammer; I could probably match up very well with them and have with the black widow
Ebonite; I absolutely love the One series but who needs 4 balls of crazy hook when most places dont even oil the lanes for those to be usefull?
Roto-Grip; Loved the Sonic Boom but it also never impressed me either.
Dyno-Thane; never tried them but they havnt shown me anything too great locally either.

So I have tried other companies. I just feel much more comfortable with Brunswick. And yes I am extremely happy with my combined 207 average as this is my 1st year ive EVER averaged 200+
