Title: What do I need?
Post by: FastTracker33 on February 22, 2009, 02:59:52 AM
Hey guys, this is in the Brunswick forum, so i'm looking for Brunswick suggestions. This equipment is all very versatile, but when I hit sport patterns, I may have a gap or two to fill.

Right now, my arsenal is as follows:

MaXXX Zone (not drilled yet, but coming)
Blast Zone 5.5" pin up, 4.5" MB
Smash Zone 5" pin up
Wild Ride 4" pin in line with fingers, 4.75" MB

I probably need another solid ball i'd say, correct? I like to drill my stuff with a 5" pin. I feel it keeps the reactions separated nicely.

Thanks in advance!

I'd say something weaker is the only hole, an Avalanche if your staying with Brunswick. Do you still have your chainsaw? I just don't see any holes besides on the lighter side of things.

My favorite solid right now is the Copperhead. The Ultimate Inferno (remake) is very good, too. You can't go wrong with either one.

I do still have my Chainsaw. I just need to get it redrilled fingertip.

If I were to go with either the Avalanche Slide/Pearl, would that be an overload of pearl balls, though? I can redrill my Chainsaw as my weak solid, maybe a Slide as my weak pearl, then everything else I already have. The Copperhead also really interests me. Decisions, decisions...

"What do I need?"

1. A decent job that pays you enough to satisfy you.
2. A recreation that truly relaxes you after doing it.
3. The love of a good woman.

1. NBA salaries are nice, but I'm old and 5'10"
2. So much for bowling...
3. Okay, I'll agree with you there. We usually marry way above ourselves.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll probably be looking more into the Avalanche series.

If I were to get a Rampage NIB, would it fit below my Wild Ride? Just wondering, because I have a chance at one and I know the Rampage was a pretty good piece.

The Rampage would fit below the Wild Ride in my opinion.

In my opinion the Rampage would fit in alright with a slightly weaker drilling.  I think the biggest piece missing out of this equation though is a strong pearl with a little higher RG. What about a Twisted Pearl or even a stronger Wild Ride. I like the balls that read the midlane and continue on the backends a little better on sport conditions. But just my feel.

kcbruns, how about a Twisted Destruction? Would that fit? It's a little longer than the original, but a stronger layout can fix that I'm sure.

Twisted Destruction is a great ball too. It is longer than the twisted pearl but it has a bigger kick on the back end too, not quite as gradual. So that would also be a good fit. Drill it with a little length but strong.

Thanks for the help, kcbruns. I think i'll drill it with a 5" pin, 5" MB possibly. My Wild Ride is 4 x 4.75, so this should seperate them nicely.

Thanks again! I have a Destruction I bought used from a user here on the way.
