I have a used 16# Black Raspberry Buzzsaw

the viper has a flat top to the core......the orginal black saw has a solid diamond .the silver has a center nugget in the core and would be stronger than the black.my black rolls very even with a smooth backend.i could only use it for dry lanes.hope this helps....

THANKS for all the input. Colin and Scottie, go to bowlingballreviews; there are "3" different "Black Buzzsaws" listed. The "Original", the "Black/C", and the "Black/C2".... The "Black/C2" is the Black Raspberry, it has a reddish purple pin (I have one sitting in front of me) and reddish purple lettering. The "Black/C" (the one I am asking about) has a reddish orange pin and reddish orange lettering, it has the same core (I believe) as the "Silver". The "Pink" and the "Blueberry" have Buzzsaw/C2 on their label (the "LRG" does not, it has Buzzsaw/C). I am looking for opinions on ball reaction. But, any information is appreciated. THANKS AGAIN.....

Take care,   Jeff

THANKS T-God, very helpful..... Snakes, Beans, Mr Wizard, or any longtime Saw owners; share some of your knowledge, PLEASE...

That buzzsaw "C" is a new one for me.  I have the original and have had the raspberry, but not familiar with the 2nd edition.

Howdy Strapper, THANKS for the "proof" that I am not NUTS....

Anybody else?

I have both the black buzzsaw/c and the viper...well had the viper. Both were smooth off the breakpoint, at least IMO. The black buzzsaw was noticebly stronger however. Still have the black buzzsaw, haven't thrown it in a while though, actually a tad to light. Actually I might break it out again and throw it and see what happens.
