It isnt bad.  If you are Brunswick happy with your arsenal, you may want something to fit between the Zones and Power Groove.  I would say the Ambush simply because you have no particle stuff in there anywhere.  But there is a huge gap in there to fill.

Well the other balls I have are the Ace and Sling Blade. I believe the Sling Blade fits between them...

Also, I know a lot of people say the charts aren't accurate, but it says the Ambush and Zone Classic have the same hook. 115.

No need for both the Strike and Scorchin?  Are you nuts?  I understand you are 19, but these balls are not as close as you make it sound.  Any GOOD ball driller will tell you that.  Especially for a stroker type.  The Scorchin is a much heavier rolling ball than the Strike Zone.  They are two totally different animals.  ALSO....just because 2 balls may have the same hook rating doesnt mean they roll the same.  The Zone Classic is much more angular on the backend than the Ambush.  What gap is there between the Zone Classic and Strike Zone?  One is longer and angular and the other is sooner and a little smoother, but both really aggressive.  The gap is between the Power Groove and Zones.  Fill it with what you may.  But tell me how you can have a gap between the same line of a ball manufacturer.

A gap in an arsenal is a gap between lines (Power Grooves, BVPs, Zones, Infernos).  If he has an Inferno, 2 Zones, and a Power Groove, the gap is that he has no BVPs.  What are you going to do?  Tell him that the gap is to get a Vapor Zone?  Dont see it.  The gap is that he does not have a particle in there.  If the Ace is the Answer to that and you are going to throw in the Sling Blade, then I guess you dont have many gaps to fill.  But, when all you do is ask how the arsenal is with only Brunswick stuff listed, you are going to here opinions that you do have gaps to fill.

For the record, I am not trying to offend anyone.  Sorry if I come across that way.

Thanks for your guy's input. I don't really have the money to get something to fill the gaps, just wanted to see if it was OK.
