yes, there is a picture of it in the new( bowling this month) magazine
WHAT GOOD IS TALKING ABOUT A BALL THAT SEEMS TO BE A GHOST, CAUSE I DON'T SEE A PIC NOR HAS ANYONE SUPPLIED ONE, OR A LINK.THIS SEEMS TO MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A LIAR.

I'd be careful how quick you are to jump to call someone a "liar."
Bowling This Month, July edition, arrived at my house today.
Pic's on page 45. It appears to be a black and silver pearl, although the photo is so stylized that it could be a very dark purple and silver or even a very dark blue and silver.
The ball is called the BuzzBomb/R (say it as "buzz-bomber").

Moster Slay/r
Victory/R
etc.
so... not a pearl ultimately?
maybe more a version for the med lanes?
dunno.... but there will be pearl for sure just like any ball has both... a pearl and a solid version

I have the feeling the "/R" was just so you could say "Buzz Bomb" and "Buzz Bomber." It's marketing phonetics.
Regardless, and no disrespect, but whether you believe it or not is not relevant. The thing is on page 45 of BTM.

Bowl EXPO was this week and that is usually the release time for new balls for the season. I am sure that is what Richie was waiting for. I have heard stories of the testing and I can't wait for mine to arrive.
I have pre-orders available.....

Reason is, I'm thinking about the Buzzbomb and not sure if I should wait for the newer BombR. Thanks!

The pearl will be cleaner up front and in the mids while have a significantly bigger backend.

Lane 1 Buzzsaw...The Official Power Tool Of Bowling
Thanks Doug!
At the moment I'm trying to decide between the Buzzbomb and Supernova(blue/red). Which will be the better choice for versatility? Pros and Cons of both? I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Lane 1. I hope to have a good 1st experience with this brand. Sorry, I don't mean to hi-jack this thread by the way.

supernova solid: Great midlane read, not an entire monster on the backend but a very decent move and devasting pin carry. Very predictible, smooth read with enough pop to handle the pins
Cons:
it is a particle solid, it does need some oil to properly work (even polished) some of the users say this ball dies, I personally have never expirenced this as the ball always has had the same reaction on the same pattern since new, I do however adjust back to my desired surface every 30-45 games
Buzzbomb:
Out of box for me was very very strong, too srong for a house shot, but once taken to 1500 wet sand and some polish (first go around was strictly polish and it was night and day as well.
A buzzbomb polished and kept in that polished state for me was about as versitle as I would need, I have thrown it on anything from 37 ft house shot to 42 ft flat pattern and am always able to find a shot of some sorts, sometimes its swinging the boards sometimes its up ten, it just depends
of the two the both are good balls, supernova offers predictiblity and smoothness, where as in my opinion the BB offers a tad more versitlity, as it is very receptive to hand changes and can recover from differing angles that the supernova cannot

From what I see, the XP seems to be cleanest through the fronts compared to the BB and Supernova. In terms of overall hook, the XP seems to have the least.
Am I on the right page?
Post by: SVstar34 on July 29, 2008, 12:37:41 PM
Buzzbomb has one of the strongest solid covers I have ever seen on a ball.
Supernova XP gets down the lane the farthest and does have the least amount of hook.
I'd take Buzzbomb for fresh heavy conditions, Supernova for med-heavy with some carrydown/transition. I'd rate the Supernova XP as a great ball for fresh mediums, but it will definitely be more oil sensitive with it having the Xplosion Pearl coverstock compared to the other two.

The BuzzBomb is far superior to the SuperNova...hence the reason the SuperNova has been discontinued. I had 2 different Supernovas and didn't care for either drilled 2 ways each....pin under ring, pin over ring, stacked, cg out...didn't like any of them. Just did not get a reaction I cared for.
The Supernova is a smoother more even reaction....the cover and core will dictate that.
The BuzzBomb is a stronger cover and since it is a pure resin will have the potential to be stronger at the breakpoint and on the backend. Add to that the very dynamic Doomsday core and you have a strong ball that will still kick on the backend.
The SuperNova XP is a great ball as well. I really liked the way the ball cleared the heads, rolled smooth in the mids and had a great pop on the backend.
The new BB Pearl will be close to the XP but have more overall backend potential than the XP.
