What current ball is comparable to the Storm Paradigm?
« on: January 31, 2008, 03:07:01 PM »
Threw that ball for the first time in over a year tonight and the reaction it had was amazing.  Is there a ball from Brunswick that's similar?  Thanks.

My guess would be the Twisted Fury, just because it does get down the lane easily with good back end.

Hmm, I'd rather suggest something stronger, yet with an asymmtrical core. From the belly, I'd suggest a new Ultra Zone - just because of the stronger core (but with the smae coverstock as the TF). The Paradigm has good traction, a Vapor Zone or Red Zone will surely not be "enough" ball (unless you sand them lightly), and the Blast Zone is rather a rolly oil piece. The UZ fits between them, so this would be my favorite choice.

I don't know Brunswick's product line very well.  However, I do know a bit about the Paradigm (my mom threw one for a year or so actually).  For those who don't know a lot about it, the Paradigm had an asymmetric low RG/high diff core, and a strong pearl coverstock that let it good midlane roll plus strong backend.  (The Paradigm Domination, for comparison, was more skid/snap and did not pick up as much in the midlane as it had a different coverstock)  Now, hopefully someone else will know what Brunswick ball has those characteristics?

Sorry, Dizzy, couldn't disagree with you more. The Vapor Zone is at least the equal of the Paradigm and probably the Shift, for most true average bowlers with avg revs and avg ball speed. In fact, for most people the VZ will be earlier and have a larger overall hook than a Paradigm.  Red Zone is longer and shaprer, in general, than a VZ.
