New Balls:

Hammer Brand Manager Jeff Ussery announces the last ball in the Taboo series, called the Jet Black Taboo. The “Grand Theft Reactive (GTR) III” coverstock is finished 500/1000/2000 Abralon® Polished w/ Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish. The Jet Black Contains the High Mass Bias Gas Mask core w/ Flip Block like it’s predecessor (in #15, RG -2.50, with RG Diff of .060). Look for the new Taboo Jet Black on February 2nd, 2012.

The new Track 508A is Green/Black/Yellow MP GEN4 Reactive Pearl Coverstock finished 800 Abranet ®,1000, 2000 Abralon ® then Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish. Wrapped around the “Legion” Asymmetrical core, the numbers (for a 15lb ball: RG 2.51, and Differential - 0.049) provide a long and angular reaction from the 508A for Medium to Dry Lane Conditions.

The intermediate and overall differential are higher in the new 508A which provide more flare potential and a stronger overall core than the 505A. The combination of the MP GEN 4 Reactive Pearl veneer and the modified Legion Core, should provide you with a quicker responsive and overall more aggressive product than the previous 500 series balls.

The new Storm Modern Marvel will provide more midlane traction as it features a textured R2X™ hybrid reactive cover. Prepped with 4000-grit Abralon® to match the “modern” environment, the Modern Marvel provides an optimum amount of traction throughout the entire lane; just enough glide through the heads without over-skidding and enough backend to verify you are indeed throwing a Storm bowling ball.

The Centripetal™ core’s symmetrical shape provides countless drilling options. So feel free to drop your favorite layout in the Modern Marvel as this shape has quickly become one of the favorites of players around the globe. And if you are looking for something a touch different than what you already have, be sure check out the Storm symmetrical drilling guide as you’re sure to find exactly what you need.

When the time to add to the product line came, Storm had a very effective ball (a winner all over the globe) in the Hy-Road. The number one factor of ball motion is coverstock. So, when Storm was looking to expand upon the Victory Road with the proven components of the Hy-Road, Storm first started with the R2S hybrid reactive shell that seemed to match up on every lane condition imaginable.

Finished to 1500-grit as well, the new Crossroad is sure to skid through even the most hooking heads around. But if your speed is higher and the heads are slick, you can still adjust the surface texture easily as R2S is one of the most versatile coverstocks on the market.

Encasing the Hy-Road shell around the Victory Road’s Inverted Fe³ Technology™ weight block gave Storm the best of both worlds. The advancements made in Fe³ allowed them to utilize a larger mass to increase the dynamics, upping the differential approximately 15% in the 15 pounders. More differential equals more flare, and you can control the amount of flare with the proper layout.

The intent of the new Storm Vivid™ is to create a motion which expands the current Premier™ line, giving you a clear picture of the lane condition while utilizing Storm’s most technologically-advanced cores and coverstocks.

This new Vivid is projected to fit between the original Virtual Gravity™ Nano solid and pearl versions, combining mid-lane traction and backend hook.

Starting at the center, the heart of the bowling ball, the Storm technical team developed a new asymmetrical shape known at the M.A.D.™ core. "Maximum Accelerating Disc" technology optimizes the shapes of the RG planes to allow you to perfectly dial in your desired reaction.

Moving to the shell, the NRG™ solid reactive coverstock utilizes nanotechnology to create additional contours and surface texture. Prepped with a 2000-grit finish, the Vivid can be smoothed with Xtra Shine™ if you find it has just too much teeth.

The newNEXXUS ƒ(P+R) features the Rotor core and the ƒ(P+R) solidcoverstock formula that combines Projection and the new Recovery additives together to create Brunswick’s most aggressive coverstock to date.

The Projection additive easily pushes the aggressive coverstock down the lane where the Recovery additive connects with the lane for an extraordinary backend hook motion.

The red/black solid Nexxus ƒ(P+R) features Brunswick’s newest innovation in performance enhancing Adaptive Chemistry.  The combination of the Projection additive, new Recovery additive, and the Rotor core results in a ball motion with the highest hook potential and most continuation of any Brunswick ball to date.  With a factory finish of 500 and 1500 Siaair Micro Pad, the Nexxus ƒ(P+F) provides a ball motion that projects through the front, saves axis rotation in the mid-lane and grabs the backend.

The black solid C·(System) versa-max is Brunswick’s newest breakthrough in Chemical Friction Technology. The C·(System) versa-max combines the new Dual Flip I-Block symmetrical core and the new CFT versa-max solid coverstock to create the ultimate in versatile ball performance.

The C·(System) versa-max skids effortlessly through the front, saving axis rotation for the backend and more power through the pins. This results in an extremely versatile bowling ball on medium to light oil lane conditions.

The new purple/pink Karma Pearl features a medium RG performance core using the same shape found in the original Danger Zone matched with Brunswick’s Activator Plus coverstock. This combination provides good length controllable hook motion. The Karma Pearl is an excellent choice for light oil lane conditions and for bowlers with slower ball speeds.

MOTIV introduces the Raptor Attack in Black/Purple Pearl Atomic™ SFP Reactive veneer with NEOMARK Labels in Green/Silver Pearl finished to 2000 Wet Sand/Power Gel® Polish.

The Raptor Attack has the Predator™ core with near maximum Radius of Gyration and Differential values (#15 RG: 2.46, DIFF: .060). World Wide Release Date: February 29th, 2012

The new 900 Global Black Eagle is the S70 Coverstock finished with their NEAT system T pad (4,000 grit) with the Asymmetric Break core (RG - 2.489,  Diff -  0.058). Look for the 900 Global Black Eagle February 3, 2012.

News

The Professional Bowlers Association has announced that veteran ESPN sportscaster Gary Thorne will replace Rob Stone as ESPN’s play-by-play voice for the three remaining PBA Tour majors during the 2011-12 season. Stone, the originator of the famous “hambone” for four strikes in a row and other bowling colloquialisms to describe the action on the lanes, leaves ESPN to join FOX Sports primarily as lead studio host for FOX’s soccer coverage.

If you or someone you know is a NASCAR fan, most NASCAR Vis-A-Balls from Brunswick are being discontinued. If you have an interest in these balls check NOW as they are no longer being produced. Expect the available inventory to be sold quickly. Call (store 708-479-6777) if you have an interest in collecting one, or getting a plastic ball featuring NASCAR or one of your favorite NASCAR drivers.

Last Year, Turbo Bowling Accessories and Turbo Tech introduced the first ever Turbo Tech Collegiate Expo to the bowling industry, and the event was a spectacular success. In 2012, the event will return July 9-12 to Super Bowl in Canton, Michigan.

Bowling Notes: Nice start for Dave Kroener in the Thursday Miller Men at Thunder Bowl January 19th. Using his new Storm Frantic, Dave started out with 251 (eight in a row, opening in the 10th in game 1), and 287 with 10 in a row, putting up the Frantic when the lanes transitioned in Game 3, shooting 713.

Marvin stopped in Jan. 14th to get a Christmas present drilled and shared that after a few lessons he rolled a 213 at Brunswick Zone Homewood, his highest game ever . Congrats Marv. Let see if a new fit will help you to continue improving.
