Buzz Bomb versus LevRG
« on: January 18, 2008, 08:47:57 AM »
How does the Buzz Bomb compare to the Morich LevRG?  The Buzz Bomb has a hook rating of 120 out of 120.  Does that make this ball the most powerful ball ever made.  The LevRG was announced as the most powerful ball ever made when it first came out.  After watching one of the Buzz Bomb video's it doesn't look as strong as the LevRG.  Any opinions or thoughts would be appreciated.

NOT labeled as the "strongest ball ever made". It is the highest hook rating in the current lane one lineup.

I'll bet you it is. In the videos you see at average joes, joe is much deeper inside with the BuzzBOMB, with a WEAKER layout.

Just by looking at the ball reaction in the video, it does look a bit weaker on the backend than the LevRG. But you have to take everything into consideration, like where he's sliding at the foul line and the layout, ect...

I'd like to see him do another vid with the same layout as the LevRG. There'll be no comparison. He's already standing/playing 5 boards deeper inside now..!! =:^D

Watch the video again..you'll see that the bowler is in every frame of every other ball he uses and with the BUZZBOMB only his arm is in the frame..looks to me like about 10-15 board difference between every ball and the BUZZBOMB...

I'm sure this BUZZBOMB is the strongest or close to the strongest ball that will hit the lanes this year

I'll put my two cents in, local tourney this weekend, two levRg's on pair with my buzzbomb, levrg #1 sanded, levrg #2 polished, buzzbomb polished, similar revs and speed from all three of us

levrg #1 sanded, burnt up, way too much surface
levrg #2 polished, good recovery and hit, but not as angular and as strong of continuation as my buzzbomb

I played 5th arrow out to aobut 5 board and made the hole easy, levrg #2 was over 4th out to 8 and stuggled a tad getting back. (read lots of light hits)  Guy throwing levrg #2 was quite impressed with the recovery I had out of my more weakly drilled buzzbomb (buzzbomb pin 4.5 to pap, levrg pin at 3.375 to pap

but this is one of those things I think someone needs to prove to themselves.  I saw the buzbomb recovery from spots one can only dream of.  I could play 3rd, 4th 5th or 6th arrow with ease, the ball got better the deeper you went.  It does need some head oil but takes quite well to hand positions.  Best ball from lane #1 period, so much so I took my backend monster pink cherry c/2 out of the bag and replaced it with the buzzbomb

I agree with Trigger.....my Buzzbomb is as strong as my buddy's LevRG and my Buzz is drilled longer and I have a lower rev rate than he does.

My Buzzer is pin over ring (5" pin to PAP), his LevRG is 3-3/4" pin to PAP.

My pin is above my ring, his is right of his ring.

His LevRG is 2000 grit Abralon, my Buzzer is 10000 grit Abralon with polish.

I have not been this impressed with a bowling ball in a LOOONNNGGGG time.....
