Chemical Friction Technology – Developed with Carmen Salvino, the Brunswick C (System)3.5 is the next evolution in Chemical Friction Technology.
Let the science of friction improve your game!
Coverstock
CFT 3.5 is the next evolution in Chemical Friction Technology. The CFT 3.5 coverstock has a higher friction factor than the original CFT 2.5, which quickens response time, improves down lane traction and increases the overall hook.
Core: I-Block
The new I-Block core was engineered specifically for the CFT 2.5 coverstock to create maximum forgiveness, strong entry angels along with versatile drilling layouts.
Reaction Characteristics
Ball Motion – With its 4000-grit micro pad finish, the Brunswick C (System)3.5 offers a higher friction factor and increased response time to friction alternative than the original C(System) 2.5. The new C(System)3.5 is best used on medium-oily to oily lane conditions when a quicker response motion is needed to increase entry angle to the pocket.
I now have in the Brunswick C (System)2.5 and selling it for $199.99 drilled finger grips and thumb slugs are extra. So come on in and get yours today. I also have a demo Brunswick C (System)2.5 to try it before you buy it.
Brunswick is coming out with another new ball in their advance performance line in November. It is the Brunswick Diamondback. Here is more information on the Brunswick Diamondback
Activator Solid Coverstock: The Diamondback™ is the first ball with Activator Solid coverstock available at the Advanced Performance price point. The original Activator coverstock used on the Diamondback is a proven formula that provides strong downlane recovery, longevity of ball reaction, and unprecedented durability with superior resistance to cracking.
Core
Low RG Rocket Core:
The Diamondback uses the proven Brunswick multi-sided Rocket™ core system, providing a low RG core that when combined with the original Activator coverstock produces a ball reaction that is unmatched at the Advanced Performance price point. Clean through the front with an aggressive move at the breakpoint, the Diamondback gives amazing bang for the buck. There isn’t another ball in this class that’s even close.
Reaction Characteristics
Ball Motion:
With its 2,000 Siaair Micro Pad finish, the Diamondback will provide good length with a strong continuous backend reaction that matches up on medium to oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.
Reaction Setup:
The Diamondback can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls. Please visit www.brunswickbowling.com/balls to view the drilling instructions for specific reaction characteristics and layout details.
Brunswick has a new ball being release sometime in November. It is the Brunswick Wild Card. It is the newest release in their High Performance line. Here is some information on the Brunswick Wild Card.
Coverstock:
The Wild Card utilizes ConneXion™ coverstock known for its unbelievable traction response from foul line to head pin. The aggressive connection of the Wild Card to the lane surface inspires confidence in the ball reaction that allows bowlers to play the lanes the way they want to.
Core:
The ultra low RG Paragon™ core was designed with two intentions. First, lower the RG to create a faster revving core that will provide improved mid-lane traction. And second, raise the RG differential to increase the track flare potential which will generate more overall hook with standard layouts and the use of interchangeable thumb sleeves.
Reaction Characteristics
Ball Motion:
With its 2,000 Siaair Micro Pad finish, the Wild Card will provide good length with a strong continuous backend reaction that matches up on medium to oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.
Reaction Setup: The Wild Card can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls. Please visit www.brunswickbowling.com/balls to view the drilling instructions for specific reaction characteristics and layout details.
The Brunswick C (System)2.5 looks like it will fit into Brunswick’s ball line up very well giving them a ball that will have more backend than their previous balls. The Brunswick C (System)2.5 is set to be released on 09/28/09. So preorder yours today
Here is a ball reaction video from Tony Ruocco @ bowlingball.com. He is using 2 different layouts on the Brunswick C (System)2.5. One with the pin up and the other with the pin down.
After more than 18 months of research, development, and extensive lab and field tests, Brunswick is proud to introduce the Brunswick C (System)2.5 bowling ball, developed in close collaboration with Hall of Fame bowler Carmen Salvino. In addition to being a legendary bowler, Salvino conducts scientific research and holds multiple patents related to bowling ball design.
This new line of performance bowling balls features Chemical Friction Technology (CFT). As Salvino explains, “The coverstock was chemically designed to have shaped molecular structures that produce a high coefficient of friction. Because of the shape of the molecule, when the ball goes into rolling friction, which occurs at the back part of the lane, slippage is eliminated and the ball will give you maximum entry and carry. This is the advantage of chemical friction versus mechanical friction.
“The chemistry is versatile enough that even if sanded or polished, it will not change the shape of the molecule. That is the uniqueness of this chemistry.”
The Chemical Friction Technology in the new C•(System) 2.5 is a difference you can feel!

I drilled theBrunswick Wild Thing for a customer last week and here is my review of the Brunswick Wild Thing. I drilled it with the #2 layout (he want mid lane hook with backend). The reaction that he got with it was very clean thru the heads, revved up in the mid lane and gave him a good hook on the back end. He was able to move more left and swing it more than his Brunswick Twisted Fury. He was very please with the Brunswick Wild Thing .
Brunswick has a new ball coming out on July 6, 2209 it is Brunswick Siege. It is in their Pro Performance line.
