How it all Began....

By: Karl Ramonas

I still remember sitting in my buddy Chuck's Pro-Shop in Wisconsin with every manufacturer's ball catalog open in front of me, looking for a couple of balls with a different reaction for my bag

I had books all over the place, sheets falling out, and a pad of paper with cryptic notes and page numbers scribbled on it. I was thinking to myself, there MUST be a better way.

Being a programmer by profession, I went home and spent a week extracting all the ball information from the manufacturer websites, and put it in an excel spreadsheet, this way I could just sort them by RG and Differentials, and find what I was looking for quicker.

That little spreadsheet became quite a hit, friends at the pro-shop were soon looking at it to find equipment for themselves.

The Brunswick Diamondback is Brunswick's first ball with the high-end Activator coverstock, priced inline with their "Price/Performance" balls.

My first impression with this ball was the consistent ball reaction brunswick that has been the trademark of bowling's largest manufacturer. Every time you throw this ball, you know what its going to do.

With the economy being tough, Brunswick hit the mark again with a great ball, at a price thats attractive for all Holiday Shoppers.

As always, I tested the Diamondback on 2 different patterns, the first being the typical house shot, and the second on the PBA Scorpion pattern. I picked the Scorpion pattern because of the large volume of oil on the backend.
