Question
I am a lefty that strokes the lane with the ball between 7 and 10 - no hook unless I get it out too far by mistake.  I am right now throwing a Brunswick BVP Rampage and I have a Cell, which I really don't care for, but will use if I can't get the Rampage to work.  I am looking for another ball.  The Rampage has been my favorite, favorite, favorite, ball for 3 years (I've had 3), but I think it's time I move on.  I like the Storm Virtual Gravity, and the Cell Pearl, but I'm not sure they would work for me. What would you recommend?

Answer
CJ,
What about the Rampage did you like? Obviously, as your favorite ball (3xs) the core, cover and layout were working.

The stronger Cell wasn't a favorite. Why did you opt for a higher end ball when mid-priced balls were working so well? You still mention strong balls (Storm Virtual Gravity, and the Cell Pearl).

Consider the mid-priced Brunswick Avalanche, Storm Street Rod, and Ebonite Clash (Blue/Yellow). All have similar shaped cores and core numbers to the Rampage. The Avalanche has the same cover.

Good luck with your search. Thanks for the question.
