I have had several and they all roll really well.
Currently using the Diamondback Pearl, Cold Fury, and several Revolutions.

Since some people use overseas equipment . My questions is, What is the advantage of these balls If any?
-
If you look at the balls sales of the U.S. vs Eastern countries. Bowling appears to be far more popular and a lot bigger consumer in buying bowling products.
That being said they get all of the same release we do plus many extras we don't along with other companies we don't.
With what I've seen in most cases they get more releases in a series from manufactures then we do. Like when we just got the Ebonite Total NV they already had released 3 to 4 in the NV series overseas. Goes the same for most companies. More demand, equals need for more product supply.
What I've noticed is many of the companies won't have as big of a performance gap between bowling balls or a series or bowling balls. They usually mix and match more cores and covers to create more product for a variety of conditions.
Along with some new cores or covers we may not see.
I will admit I'm surprised Brunswick doesn't release the Diamondback Pearl here. It is one of the strongest pearlized bowling balls I've ever thrown. It can handle oil, and is extremely aggressive on the backends.

the diamondback pearl looks just like a rattler, which is activator pearl.
it's probably the same ball.

I'm not. Sounds like the C System 2.5 and there's the rub. Too much overlap here on the American market balls and yet some guys want the overseas stuff also. Why? How many balls of different colors that react the same do you need?
Except it isn't that ball. Look at the specs given by Brunswick for both and the C-systems is suppose to be stronger. So it would be like having two different bowling balls.

Until you look at the specs and throw both and see the DBP is rated and rolls much stronger then the Rattler.

db pearl is the eaact same ball as the rattler.i got this info from a technical guy from brunswick. i wish i could remember his name but im drawing a blank

PROUD TO ADMIT IVE SHOT 600 WITHOUT A DEUCE.....TWICE
The guy that post on here from the Nationals booth said the exact same thing, that he heard from a rep it is the same ball. I then made contact with john prokopec from Brunswick who advised it is not the same ball it is stronger then the Rattler which is obvious by the rating on the spec sheet. No doubt the same core. Plus if you throw both you can tell a difference.
Rattler rg avg 3.5 hook pot. 125 length 110 break point 85
DBP rg avg 3.5 hook pot. 145 length 120 break point 85
So its the same ball with more length and more hook potential. So that is the same how?

Sorry, kid. But supposed to be stronger and actually stronger remains to be seen. I can find something in the U.S. releases if I need to. I guess I''m just not into the different variations like you are. I want my bowling balls to have a definite difference in them. I can make up the subtle differences by hand changes, axis tilt, speed, etc.
Wow really? Do you think I had to travel to find this? It was $90 shipped off ebay. You want difference, so far compared to my Wild Thing it had more length and easily much stronger on the backends. Compared to my friends Evil Siege drilled identical, it easily as clean through the front with much more hook on the backends.
It will take more then subtle hand change to make up the difference. My friend threw it the first night I had it and said that was the reaction he was expecting from his Evil Siege.
That is the reason I said I''m surprised they didn''t release this ball here. It is a beast. It isn''t the Rattler, and it is out hooking balls that are rated to be stronger then it.
I honestly didn''t expect the ball to be this strong.

I think Brunswick would no more then the rep since they make and rate their products and John Prokopec would know something about them as well. The Reps have to say something since they don't have them to sell to the consumers.
So go with your theory that Brunswick is lying about the ball specs. I really don't care, I have one, I know what it does.

How do you like the Battling Siege?
The one thing I like about the overseas balls is that I can usually find good deals on them on ebay and ect and many are different core cover combinations that we don''t get here. Many are all around different from what we get here as well.
Great product for the price. I still buy plenty of the stuff that is released here as well.

--------------------
" men lie, women lie, numbers don't "
nice pic. . .my Battering Siege is what I expected my regular Siege to be, goes through the front of the lane nice and has a reliable move to the pocket. I've seen the Defender on the Sunbridge site but not the Battering. I'd like to roll a RIP Zone too. I'm getting more consistent reactions with their International releases. . .
-
I like my Cold Fury but didn''t see enough difference between the Power Zone and Rip Zone to get one as well.
I''d like a Battling Siege but have way too much equipment undrilled to justify getting any more.
Skip ahead to the 30 sec mark to see her throwing the ball
