The Silver diamond and cherry c2 is what should be remade with newer covers on them, The silver always is good for a 190 plus game on lighter mediums.

 Question:

  If the Silver diamond and the Cherry C/2 are/were so good, why do they need a "new" cover?

 Lane 1 HAS stuff for oilier conditions, why not just re-make them as they were? The Silver diamond was the only lane 1 ball I could use for a long time, but I got rid of it. Wish I hadn't.
  The Blueberry C/2 I have is really a good ball though.

I disagree...

The balls should be made identical to original formulas..

Once you change anything is it really the same ball??

Well the core can be remade but the cover would be impossible, the same motion is what I mean. We all Know Phil could get it really close, so there you go.

Oh course Brunswick could use the business of the real remake could actually happen. Maybe they will repin them for free too on the all the blem balls hahahahaha

I agree they should be the same as I do have the cherry, the silver and the emerald, all three rock, with the cherry being the hardest mover on the back for me

c2 core with a variation of superflex would be mighty close

the emerald to me right now seems to be a bit more controlling but with a larger move overal, my cherry c/2 (its pinkish by the way) just snaps off the back end, with the silver slightly behind it, where as the emerald i can go more outside and not get as big of an over reaction with it

shot 244 out the gate with the emerald even tho it is a 16# ball vs the 15# i am throwing

I would only be interested if the remakes were exactly the same,doubt that would happen.if not then I feel it's best to move on to the next new release.

UNFORTUNATELY... I CAN'T SEEM TO GET MY HANDS ON A CHERRY/C2... But i'm finding that my emerald has a less agressive backend than my Silver. Also, the Silver seems to start it's move before the Emerald as well. I think it (Emerald) will probably become a benchmark ball.

After reading this post this morning i went out and threw a cherry c/2 I just had regripped, ball is amazing still and picks up the lane perfectly.

I have to say an exact remake would be great but Superflex would be pretty dang close, those are the only two covers I like every ball with them pk18 and superflex.

It was outhooking a brand new Smash Zone i just got, the Smash Zone was earlier and less overall.
