If you have a problem reading your reaction due to it being a solid cover, just use white or any bright colored grips/slugs and you're good to go!!

My god.....I'm an idiot.

So the fingers would be visible?

It's worked for me, white thumb slug and white grips make my ball rolling down the lane visible enough to see where my ball is breaking down lane, it won't be as obvious as a bright multi-colored ball but at least it's visible. I'd imagine brighter color grips would be even better, like neon green or pink would stick out more.

Sure use any of the bright colored inserts and they really stand out against the black. I think it's actually easier to read with the solid black balls than it is with the more vibrant multicolored balls. So much so that when I purchased my Rhino I had the PSO order a black one even though he had the colored ones in stock.

If you want even more color flashing you can have your driller punch one or more holes and then plug them with a light color plug.  Keep these plugs out of your ball's track.  --  JohnP

>> i want to try brunswick equip.

Just remember that Brunswick is the ONLY bowling ball manufacturer that makes their equipment in Mexico just to squeeze a dew bucks extra profit out of each ball. Every other ball manufacturer makes their balls in the USA and all are profitable, too.

Are you willing to support Mexican jobs over USA jobs when you have a choice?
Balls: Motiv Forza GT, Motiv Primal Rage Remix, Motiv Ascent Pearl and Motiv (On The Ball) spare ball.. All made in the USA.

Oh for God's sakes is it really necessary to bring that crap into every post about Brunswick. You know they do still employ quite a few people on this side of the border too?

Where is the T-Zone made?  Are they pouring that in the Mexico plant, or is someone here in the States pouring it for them?

im sorry to say but it doesnt really make a difference to me most companies that make stuff here in the states still have their materials sourced from other countries if you pay attention to some the stuff you buy now most of it says built in the usa using foreign materials.

I second the Danger Zone or Fanatic ideas.  The Danger Zone is a bit earlier and smoother than the fanatic.  I find the Fanatic to be more useful when dealing with slower speeds like yours and playing closer to the friction.

My specs are about the same as yours. If you go with a Danger Zone, for me it rolled earlier than I expected. Keep that in mind when laying it out.

I suggest trying a ball in the Mastermind series. If you can find an original Mastermind, you can not go wrong with it. It takes well to surface changes and is most predictable.

I like the two you picked. A nice one-two combo that allows you to plug others in when you're able to budget wise. The Zone would be my ball for fresh and when the lanes break down I would go with Jab. That was one of my favs for sometime. A very clean pearl that has great back end reaction when you need it.
