I'm in the process of leasing a BCB.  Laugh all you want but a local bowler was looking to get rid of it and let me borrow it to see what I thought.  She had issues getting it to carry.  I haven't had nearly as much as a problem as she had with it though.  I've shot my first two 700's with this ball now and will be buying it from her ASAP.  Needless to say this Lane #1 ball and I match up fairly well.

Here's what I'm curious about.
For everyone that has thrown a BCB, what other balls have you stumbled across that gave you a similar look?  Numbers wise the only other ball that I've thrown that even approaches the BCB was the TPC Player.  The Player has potential, but doesn't quite match up with what I'm bowling on for the most part.

Is there anything out there that would be similar to the BCB?

The Hybrid is similiar but it is stronger and smoother at the same time.  I feel it has more backend but mainly because of more continuation.  Its definitely not as snappy as the black but I feel it covers more boards.  For me the Dirty Bomb and the Hybrid have totally replaced my needs for the cherry bomb and the black cherry bomb.  I also feel even if the new rule wasn't in affect for cores you would still have seen the two cherry bombs gone because of the new dirtys, they are just that much better.

What type of reaction do you get from your BCB?  Numbers can be deceiving and I think it would be easier to match up a reaction than just numbers.
