    Default Need Replacement Ball

    Last Friday I went to use my "hardly ever needed" Brunswick Meanstreak Brawler (compliments of Bowling Boards) as the lanes on my newly started second league seemed a bit drier and erractic. Noticed that the ball was cracked in the finger bridge and had a spider hairline fracture starting down towards the thumb.

    In case it's not repairable, what would be some choices for a replacement? I'm not brand loyal at this time as I have two Roto-Grips and my Paradox, along with the Ebonite spare ball.

    I will definitely take my PSO's advice but wanted to have some knowledge on a few options before I find time to get there and decide what to do.

    Any ideas for me to consider?

    I think I'd give a Motiv a try, The Primal Rage Remix has somewhat similar specs to the Brawler.

    Motiv Primal Rage Remix is a Hybrid, Symmetrical RG 2.55, Diff. .050

    Brawler is a Hybrid, Symmetrical RG 2.536, Diff. .048

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    The Meanstreak Brawler is the oldest ball that is still in my arsenal, despite several attempts at trying to replace it with something newer. The closest I've come is the Radical Grease Monkey. It's just a little less aggressive which could be overcome with a little more aggressive layout.

    Get Motivated! I am brand loyal though so it is what I recommend.
    The only thing with Motiv is that their balls seem to be stronger overall than most other brands when looking at the Low/Medium/High, oil conditions.
    Equipment:
    Motiv: Forza, Forza Redine, Venom Shock, Tag
    Storm: Sky Rocket
    Track 100P Spare Ball

    To be drilled: Motiv Jackal
