Title: S&A questions
Post by: dizzyfugu on August 31, 2005, 12:01:46 AM

Hello,

I am thinking about buying a Shock & Awe, or at least try to import one through local distributor in Germany.

I have read about the ball and have 2 questions, hopefully somebody can tell me something:

I heard rumors that the coverstock is Brunswick's Activator pearl? Is it the same as on the Original Inferno and Zone Classic?

Can somebody compare the ball's reaction to a Zone Classic (Green pin) or share impressions, if you have played both of them? Medium-oily conditions appreciated

Diz,

The cover is the Absolute Inferno cover ...Activator + !

This ball is much stronger and will handle more oil than the Zone Classic...not knocking the ZC ...just saying it's stronger...

The 2 balls drilled the same would be a nice complement combo

The coverstock is pretty versatile also.
I've had mine at 600 and at 1500 with a polish.

Thanx a lot for the quick replies! If it is really Activator+, it should make a nice addition to my Ebonite Xxcel for less oil, which tends to run off to the left when there is not enough oil. I normally play on a 40' sports pattern, and the Xxcel has been too much in the summertime. The S&A should have more length, and a nice pop in the end is what I am looking for.

It is supposed to replace my Raging Red Fuze - less rolly/arcy, more angular overall reaction. Your comments ensure my image of the ball. And, besides, it could be that it will be one of the 1st S&As in Germany... I like that idea

Thank you, and "Gut Holz" everybody!
