I Know It's A Great Ball - BUT..
« on: June 16, 2005, 08:08:05 AM »
Arguably one of the best balls ever made, and still a strong performer on today's conditions, but - is it really worth THIS MUCH????

I really like my Danger Zones, but I wouldn't pay this much money. After all, it isn't that much different than a Nemesis or Bruiser - at least not enough difference to warrant the price differential.

hehe not now that the strikezone is coming out... but i know many people who would pay big $$$ for that ball

THe strike zone isn't at all the same as the original danger zone.....Completely different cover (pk18 vs. activator), and a different core (asymmetrical vs symmetrical)....

WOW that much?

I bought 2 x 14lbs Danger Zone not long ago, cost me $110 each (still a lot!), but I guess 15lbs are more in demand.

Only thing is Bob, sometimes you just can't find the same reaction out of the new balls that some of the old classic pieces give you. O well, I'm not a big brunswick guy so really makes no difference to me.

I agree in general, but the cover on the Danger Zone is the same as on the Monster Bruiser and BVP Nemesis.  That, and it never ceases to amaze me how many Danger Zones I still see on the ball returns these days, and the success that people still seem to have when using the Danger Zone.

And the winner paid $205.50 + shipping. Wow. Makes me sad that I drilled both of mine and sold a 3rd last year CHEAP. But - It is a great ball, and I do still have two with holes that I dearly love.
I guess you just can't have it N.I.B. and use it too.
Using beats collecting anyday.
