Brunswick

Brunswick bowling balls will take your game to the next level of performance and satisfaction. The Raging Inferno [far left] features the Activator cover stock, the shell for Brunswick's next generation of particle balls. It combines the traction characteristics associated with a particle ball with the hooking action and back-end of a reactive ball, and it excels on oily lane conditions. The Inferno also has the Activator cover stock for high hook potential, excellent length through the heads, and a strong, smooth, and continuous back-end. This creates a highly versatile and forgiving ball that can be used on medium to oily lane conditions.

The Time Zone [second from left] combines the performance of PowrKoil 18 Reactive cover stock with Brunswick's patented Preferential Spin Axis core technology. The result is a classic aggressive Zone ball reaction to go along with the unique drilling options provided by the ball's core. Brunswick engineers have combined a low Rg Quantum-shaped core with PowrKoil 18 Reactive cover stock to create the Monster Bruiser, a tough customer on medium to oily lane conditions. Using its shiny cover to sneak through the heads, the Bruiser has strong traction in the midlane and explodes on the back-end.

Reactive cover stocks respond more aggressively to dry lane surfaces, increasing both back-end hooking action and hitting power. The Power Groove Reactive features PowrKoil 17--the strongest Reactive cover stock ever used in the Groove class--and Brunswick's DISC (Differential Increasing Side Cylinders) core technology. Proactive cover stock technology increases hooking action and traction through heavier amounts of oil by adding texturized particles to create a tread-like surface. The Power Groove Proactive--made for medium to oily lane conditions--features Brunswick's DISC (Differential Increasing Side Cylinders) core technology and is available in both dull and shiny versions.

If you're looking for an exciting spare ball, Taz Engraved [second from right] is for you. It's popular with all age groups and is presented on a two-color polyester glow ball. Go to Brunswickbowling.com to preview Brunswick's other exciting character balls. Discover the exciting world of Viz-A-Ball [far right], where the chances are that Brunswick has a ball of interest to you. Go to Viz-A-Ball.com to preview balls that feature the NFL, college sports, Warner Brothers, Disney, Elvis, Betty Boop, and many more.
