Selection for 3 Ball Arsenal

[billf]

The Storm Lights Out is just a smidge weaker than the Brunswick Meanstreet Brawler. Depending on your speed, revs, rotation and tilt they could be interchangeable. That's knowledge that only your coach would know for sure. Given your coach is on staff with Roto-Grip he may just want you to trade the ball you won, which is fine.

Also, if possible, could you wait until Mr. Haugen comes back before deciding and then won't be bothering him while he's on tour?

P.S. although he bowls for the enemy (lol), I like him so I still root for him.

As you know...I haven't much brand loyalty since no one pays me for advertising for them...LOL

I went by the ProShop today as my original order was supposed to be in. We decided to stay with the RG Defiant Soul and spare ball. (He was sooo busy, I will go back tomorrow for drilling). And we will wait until Michael is back from tour and after my lesson on the 6th - then he and ProShop Mike can get together on how to drill the Brawler for the three balls to fit my current needs. ProShop Mike says I may end up liking the combination better than the original thinking.

And even though Michael is w/RG, I don't think he would push too hard. His ProShop guy is actually an Ebonite, and the new shop is a Brunswick...so it will all even out, since I went with the Ebonite spare ball.

And by the way, he is a really super guy. Down to earth, no ego, no macho-I'm better attitude. He really wants everyone to bowl better and enjoy the sport. I think I heard that he will be working with the ASU bowling team - but I may be wrong on that. And he's doing well on this tourney!

I should have clarified my comment better. I didn't mean to insinuate that he would prefer you use RG just because he is on staff there. Merely because his knowledge of their products would be better due to being given better information by them and how they would fit each bowler.

Any staff member of any company, anywhere, understands, knows and agrees that the real goal is to get more people bowling, bowling better and enjoying the sport more. If we could get more league bowlers to understand that and put some effort into growing the sport, it wouldn't be a dying sport.

well classygranny i own a meanstreak brawler my self and this ball is great i got a high rev rate and throw at 17-19mph and i have to stand left and i mean dropping on the 30-35 board and pushing it out to the 5 board and at my jr bowling provincials on may 11-12 i was doing this throw and the ball kept hitting the head pin on fresh oil i would of lofted the gutter but had a sore wrist.

but this ball would be more like the hy-road but you should get still get the other 3 because you can get the other 3 all drilled pin up and this ball drilled pin down so then if at sometime say you get the hy-road or lights outs and the hy-road or lights out are not hooking in perfectly going very weak most people would think just to a aggressive ball but better idea is to have another ball same performance drilled pin down and throw it because it will have a earlier roll and that weak pocket shots would become strong pocket shots.

i wish i had a video of me throwing the meanstreak brawler at provincials i would post it on here so you could see it. but best ball i think brunswick has ever made.

I'd stick with what your coach told you, since he/she has actually seen how you throw and has 'boots on the ground' with you. Make sure you get a good guidance from your coach on how they should be drilled out, and you should be all set!

Plus, if any of them don't work out, you can blame your coach and maybe he/she will buy them from you :-)
