For those of you who got your tracking numbers..
« on: October 15, 2007, 12:15:07 PM »
I just got back from league, and for a little refresher I decided to throw the Danger Zone (600 grit + Rubbing Compound / 2 3/4" Pin to PAP) after not using it for a couple of years.

After 1 night, I prefer its motion over that of the Absolute Inferno (220 Grit + Rough Buff / 2 3/4" Pin to PAP) on a regular house shot. The thumb was too big, and even with a piece of foam tape on the back and 2 pieces of grip tape on the front I still didnt get a good feel.

Regardless, when I got a clean shot off, I fell in love again, and saw why PowerKoil 18 was a mainstay in Brunswick's product lines for so long.

The ball reacted exactly how I released it, everytime.
Very few clueless moments tonight.

If I stayed behind it, it read the midlane like a dream and arc'd hard on the back. If I turned it up, it was clean through the heads and turned hard on the back.

I felt confident with every move on the lane, 4 in all tonight, that the ball would react and recover how I wanted it.

Beautiful reaction overall, while I only shot 609, 2 pocket 7-10, 6 on the pair tonight, I reignited my love for this ball. I'll be getting the thumb slugged this week to use again next week.

For everyone that was lucky enough to get your order in on the Archon and Paragon, you have a real gem of a ball on your hands, PowerKoil 18 should be the end all when it comes to house shots, simply amazing.

Enjoy, you really stole a wonderful ball that can do it all.

If you think PowerKoil 18 is good on THS, you should try PowrSurge which is found on such classics as the Raven Quantum, 'Tude 2, Combat Zone, Combat Zone Tracer, and WRW Jr. MVP.

I have a Raven, WRW MVP, 2 CZT's
I understand the power.
PowerSurge is pretty rediculous, its too bad they dont make that cover anymore.
I've asked why, but never got a straight answer, I'm holding out hope for the avalanche line.

From what I have heard the "SPECTRUM" coverstock on the Awesome Finish is Brunswick's PK18 coverstock slightly tweaked to Morich's specs.  You may want to look to that ball if you are looking for something current with a PK18 cover.

Yes pk18 is great i am sitting on a perfect spec wizard 3-4 pin and 3.3 top weight, i tried to sell it cheap and nobody wanted this fine gem.

Also sitting on a perfect combat zone green tracer ball looks like maybe 10-15 games total in 2 drills.

There are two perfect covers pk18 and Superflex there are no bad releases with either cover made, both powerful even on today's oil and always reacts the same way every shot.

one of my "gems" is a danger zone red alert special edition. i got it resurfaced and shined up. ball has serious backend. i really dont use it,but maybe for summer league i will break it out and see what i can average with it.
