Anaconda

Based on my speed and rev rate, I expected the Brunswick Anaconda to match up well for me because of the polished coverstock. I seem to throw polished bowling balls better because that helps me get the ball further down the lane. This bowling ball was very smooth, controllable, and the color combination worked well for my eyes to see the motion.

You can see in the bowling ball reaction video that I had a lot of area at the break point. If you watch the video, you can see me swing it out to about board 7 on one shot and tug it to only about 13 on another, and both gave me great looks into the pocket.

The biggest snake brings the BIGGEST hook yet! Take the lanes and your opponents and squeeze the life out of them!



Activator Plus Coverstock
The Anaconda is the first ball with Activator Plus coverstock available at the Advanced Performance price point. Activator Plus is a more aggressive version of the original Activator coverstock formulation that maintains the durability and longevity of ball reaction that are characteristic of the Activator coverstock family. The rough-buff, pearlized version of Activator Plus coverstock used on the Anaconda creates more traction in the oil, increasing the ball's mid-lane and back-end hooking action, while still being clean through the front-end.

Ultra Low RG Inferno Core
The Anaconda uses an updated version of the Original Inferno core. The Ultra Low RG Inferno core revs quickly providing mid-lane traction control with a strong predictable back-end motion.

Ball Motion
With its Rough Buff finish, the Anaconda will rev quickly in the mid-lane with a strong continuous back-end reaction that matches up on medium to medium-oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.

Reaction Setup
The Anaconda can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.

Lightweight Engineering
The unique core shape of each Brunswick ball is used for weights from 14 to 16 pounds. This approach to lightweight ball engineering provides bowlers with consistent ball reaction characteristics across this weight range. The same drilling instructions can be used for 12- and 13-pound balls. This is because Brunswick uses a generic core shape with an RG differential that is close enough to the 14-16 pound shape.

The Brunswick Anaconda is currently selling for $105.99 and rates a 182.7 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale™.

Revolver

Brunswick has had a couple of great releases lately, and the Brunswick Revolver is one of them. The Brunswick Revolver bowling ball looks like a great compliment to the Brunswick C (System)4.5 and the Brunswick Anaconda as it fits right in the middle.

It rolls great from start to finish and the darker color allows me to see the bowling ball reaction all the way down the lane. As the lanes start to break down from the C-System, I see a great transition ball in the Brunswick Revolver.

It's time to shoot the lights out with the Brunswick Revolver!

ConneXion Grip Coverstock
The Revolver utilizes ConneXion Grip an improved version of ConneXion coverstock.
ConneXion Grip incorporates a new formula to increase the footprint size of the coverstock which improves mid-lane and back-end traction.

Jack Core
The Jack core was designed as a low RG symmetric core with a high differential. The low RG engages in the mid-lane assisting in ball motion, and the high differential increases track flare potential giving the ball more opportunity to grip the back-end while using standard layouts and interchangeable thumb sleeves.

Ball Motion
With its 4,000 Siaair Micro Pad finish, the Revolver will provide good length with a strong continuous back-end reaction that matches up on medium to oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.

C (System)4.5

The Brunswick C (System)4.5 is set to be released on 7/12/2010. bowlingball.com has shot a bowling ball reaction video and it looks amazing. I have learned that a symmetrical core is a very controllable ball reaction. Brunswick has been a leader in bowling ball technology, and the new I-Block Symmetric Core shows of their skills.

CFT v4.5 Coverstock

CFT v4.5 is the next progression in Chemical Friction Technology. The CFT v4.5 coverstock has a lower friction factor than CFT 3.5 which improves length through the heads and mid-lane without
sacrificing the quick response and improved traction on the back-end.

I-Block Symmetric Core

The new I-Block Symmetric core was created by modifying the original asymmetric I-Block core (which has a symmetric base and an asymmetric flip block) to have an asymmetric base. By creating an asymmetric base with an asymmetric flip block on perpendicular axes the two asymmetries cancel each other out making the core shape symmetric. The core shape was also thinned and stretched to increase the RG min while maintaining the overall differential.

Ball Motion

With its Rough Buff finish, the C(System) v4.5 will offer a lower friction factor with similar response time to friction alternative to the C(System) 3.5. The new C(System) v4.5 is best used on medium to oily lane conditions when you need to use a breakpoint further down the lane with a quick response motion to increase pin carry.

Reaction Setup

The C(System) v4.5 can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.

[bowlingball value="topsellers,"]

I threw the new Brunswick Slingshot Silver/Black last night and think I found my new favorite bowling ball. I will get a chance to try it out in league a little more before I make such a grandiose statement.

This bowling ball goes very long, which I tend to like with my lower ball speed. But it still hits like a truck. I know it has the old Danger Zone coverstock, which doesn’t mean a ton to me, but that used to be a bowling ball that people absolutely had to have when it came out.

The Brunswick Slingshot comes in 5 different colors.

Slingshot Silver/Black

Slingshot Red/Silver

Slingshot Gold/Blue

Slingshot Merlot/Gold

Slingshot Lavender/Lime

The Brunswick Siege is one of my favorite bowling balls. I still have it in my arsenal, long after its release date, which says a lot about a bowling ball. Check it out for your self.

Siege

Currently selling for $139.99.

The deadly Siege is the first in our new series of Pro Performance balls and features the new MACE asymmetrical core as well as the new solid Propel coverstock. This is a strong ball that battles heavy oil and responds quickly to friction for great pin action.

Core

M.A.C.E. " Mechanical Asymmetric Core Engineering. The MACE core has three major benefits, Ultra Low RG core system to engage the Propel coverstock, High RG differential to aid in traction through heavy oil and High RG asymmetric differential to quicken the response time to friction. Designed as a two component elliptical core
system, the MACE core is dynamically the strongest asymmetric core ever produced for a Brunswick ball.

Coverstock

Introducing Propel coverstock the next extension in Brunswick coverstock technology. Propel is a revolutionary coverstock developed by Brunswick to improve the mid-lane and backend traction of the ball on today's slicker oils and lane surfaces. The Propel coverstock was discovered through testing of new formulation additives and process changes in coverstock manufacturing.

Ball Motion

The Siege unites the new Propel coverstock and the MACE core to produce a ball motion that is both aggressive in the oil and aggressive on the backend. The Siege is your ball when your game needs help battling heavy oil conditions and poor pin action.

Seize the lanes, Conquer the pins, Defeat your opponent!!

Micro Finishing Pads

Micro finishing pads have revolutionized the bowling industry by creating smooth surface finishes that many bowlers would assume are polished with a wax or similar compound. The benefit to the bowler is these finishes create length similar to balls coated with compound finishes, but are better able to handle today's thicker oils and carrydown. The Siege is finished with 1000-grit micro pads driven by the new Haus high speed bowling ball resurfacing machine.

Reaction Characteristics

Out of the Box: With its 1000-grit micro pad finish, the Siege will provide excellent mid-lane recovery and a strong continuous backend reaction that matches up on medium to oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.

If your Siege goes too long:. A smooth surface will sometimes cause the ball to go too long before breaking. To get your Siege rolling sooner, dull the surface with a 500-grit micro pad. To further increase hooking action, use a rougher abrasive to create an earlier reaction.

If your Siege hooks too early: Smooth your Siege with 2000-grit micro pad to increase the length. If more length is needed smooth the surface to 4000-grit micro pad. If more length is still desired use Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish to increase length to the maximum.

Reaction Setup: The Siege can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for asymmetric bowling balls.

Brunswick is coming out with a brand new line of bowling balls in their “Pro Performance Line”.

Looking for a Mid Performance bowling ball for those pesky lane conditions where a High Performance bowling ball is just too much?

You might want to choose the new Brunswick Rattler.

Rattler

The Brunswick Rattler strikes, and strikes, and strikes again. With a ball reaction like a snake attacking its prey, the Rattler uncoils and drives hard and fast through the backend with a vicious attack. The Rattler provides unmatched reaction at the performance price point. Don’t be caught without one in your bag.

Technology
Activator Coverstock: The Brunswick Rattler is the first ball with Activator coverstock available at the performance price point. The original Activator coverstock used on the Rattler is a proven formula that provides strong downlane recovery, longevity of ball reaction, and unprecedented durability with superior resistance to cracking.

Low RG Rocket Core
The Rattler uses Brunswick™s Multi-Sided Rocket Core System, providing a low RG core that when combined with the original Activator produces a ball reaction that is unmatched at the performance price point. Clean through the front with an aggressive move at the breakpoint, the Rattler gives amazing bang for the buck. There isn’t another ball in this class that’s even close.

High Gloss Finish
The Rattler is finished with Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish to maximize the skid-snap reaction out of the box. This surface preparation will allow most bowlers to match-up to both freshly oiled and moderately broken down house conditions.

Get ready for a Wild Ride…

Brunswick’s next high performance release is set to take the bowling industry for one. Keep an eye out for our next video being shot 1/15/2009. We should have it available the following week.

Brunswick Wild Ride ConneXion!! The Wild Ride introduces ConneXion™, the new coverstock by Brunswick, that provides the wildest response at the break point ever seen in a Brunswick ball.

Core

The Brunswick Wild Ride migrates the proven medium RG Torsion Asymmetric core into the High Performance price point. This core/coverstock combination allows the Wild Ride to skid easily through the front part of the lane, dig in aggressively at the end of the mid-lane, then stick strong to to the back-end providing powerful traction hooking action off the break point. The ConneXion coverstock united with the familiar Torsion Asymmetric core provides a ride that is unbelievably wild.

Coverstock

Eighteen months in development, the new ConneXion coverstock has been fine-tuned to adhere to the lane providing unbelievable traction response from foul line to head pin. The Brunswick Wild Ride pushes easily through the heads, staying on line to target on both light and heavy oil conditions; both when the lanes are freshly oiled or when they’ve broken down. The wild side of the ConneXion coverstock comes alive when the ball reaches the end of the oil pattern and then aggressively connects to the back-ends. The traction created provides a strong recoil reaction to the pocket that results in the most angular skid-snap reaction ever produced in a Brunswick ball. The aggressive connection of the Wild Ride to the lane surface inspires the confidence in the ball reaction that allows bowlers to play the lanes the way they want to.
