red pin vs. green pin ZC
« on: December 22, 2006, 04:53:23 AM »
just curious, how much less does the red pin actually hook? have a green pin right now, and thinking about a red pin to fit right underneath it...would that work? lmk. thanks,

yes but i would suggest a white pin smokin inferno would also work well under the green pin. Red pin is about 4-5 feet farther than the green pin model, the white pin smokin would give a whole different lighter pattern reaction.

I have a Green Pin drilled 5 3/4" above by 60 degrees, and a Red Pin drilled 5" above by 60 degrees, and the Red Pin is about four or five boards weaker overall than the Green Pin.  The reaction shapes of both balls are nearly identical, but there's just a lot less reaction with the Red Pin.

Hmmmm, where on the Brunswick ball description page for the Smokin' Inferno,
http://www.brunswickbowling.com/smokin_inferno?noCache=656,1166832579
are these pins described?
I can't seem to find them.

 When I drilled up my first Classic I was impressed to say the least, however the ball return demons ate it for lunch one afternoon, the house replaced it with a red pin and I didn't like the reaction at all.
 The green pin was a hard arcing ball and the red pin was skid snappy.

I had both RP and GP...about 4-5 boards difference for me.
For a ball to go under the GP I would suggest the Punisher...much better ball than the RP...
