Fury Pearl
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
Coverstock: High Octane Pearl
Ball Color: Blue / Red / Silver All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown.
Ball Finish: 4000-grit wet sand
Hook Potential: 135 (Medium-High) on a scale of 10-175 Low-High
Length: 95 (Early) on a scale of 25-235 Early-Late
RG Differential: 0.044 (Medium Flare) on a scale of .000-.080 Low Flare-High Flare
RG Average: 2.515 (Low) on a scale of 2.43-2.80 Very Low-High Break Point
Breakpoint Shape: 95 (Angular) on a scale of 10-100 Arced-Angular
Recommended Lane Conditions: Medium Dry to Medium Oily
Description: Once again Brunswick responds to the market. To complement the success of the Fury, bowlers asked for a pearlized version. Answering the call, Brunswick delivers the Fury Pearl.

Building on the success of the original Fury, the Fury Pearl utilizes a pearlized coverstock and a smoother Coverstock Finish to create a ball with a back-end reaction that is truly BIG. The Fury Pearl utilizes a pearlized version of the High Octane coverstock used on the original Fury. The pearl additive helps create more length and saves hooking action for the back-ends.

The bowling industry is starting to embrace the surface finishes created by 2000-grit and 4000-grit abrasives. These abrasives create a glossy finish that many bowlers would assume are polished with a wax or similar compound. The benefit to the bowler is that these finishes create length similar to balls coated with compound finishes, but are better able to handle carrydown. The Fury Pearl is finished with 4000-grit Abrasive pads driven by the new Haus high speed bowling ball resurfacing machine.

The Fury Pearl uses the original Fury’s Torsion Symmetric core system known for its high hook potential, easy revving and powerful, but controllable breakpoints. Brunswick has twisted the core on the inside of the ball so you can twist it up more on the lanes.

Out of the Box: With its 4000-grit finish, the Fury Pearl will provide a more skid/snap reaction than the original Fury and match up well on medium-dry to medium-oily lane conditions.

The Fury Pearl...

OOB Finish ( I think 4000 but it looks polished)- engthy with a very angular backend. It carried alright but had troubles with the 9 and 7 (maybe too much angle). Any way it was a fresh house shot, 41 foot,  and the ball reaction was lengthy and very angular.

Polished- I tried polishing the Fury pearl and it just made it even more aggresive in the backend. Like I said the length on this ball is great. It turns on a dime at about 50 feet.

I returned to league bowling for the first time in 10 years with my old ball that I averaged 202 with back then. Well, things are different now and I struggled with only a 175 average after 12 weeks. I needed new technology! After lots of research, I decided on the Fury Pearl. I had it drilled very conservatively. I don't like a hard core break. I first tried it on open bowling conditions that were VERY dry. The hook was nearly impossible to manage. 3 games below my average...not good. I was worried that I had made a bad choice. The next day I bowled right after a league with better oil and better results. 3 games, 598 series. 2 days later I finally had my first league night on fresh oil. This ball was amazing!! It got through the front beautifully with a very consistant, strong and predictable back end reaction and a very hard hit. Best series of the year...652! And that could have easily been better! Looking forward to the future with this great ball!!

Layout - 4 1/2" pin to PAP, 1.5" off VAL, Flip Drilling. (3/4 side, 1/4 finger no balance hole yet).
Out of box cover.

The set up was intended for later games in tournaments, or medium-dry patterns.

We first tested the Fury Pearl on a fresh house condition (Approximately 38 feet).  The pearl was very clean through the heads and midlane, and very strong off the fresh backends.  I had a great reaction and pin carry at the beginning.  The ball did start to labor on the backends when the oil started to carry down, this is probably because of my ball layout and OOB cover.    

On the broken down house shot the Fury Pearl was in its element, again the ball was clean through the fronts but saved alot of energy for a monster backend reaction.  This was the best look I had in my bag for playing inside lines.

This ball is mandatory for any bowling ball arsenal,  It is a great ball for fresh backends and a great ball for the medium dry condition.  I think Higher Rev or slower ball speeds may even be able to use this on oilier lanes. Get this ball if you are looking for a ball to save energy and flip hard.

Thanks again to Rico @ Brunswick, and Richie @ Strike-Z Proshop (IBPSIA Advanced Technician)

heres my review for the fury pearl:

to start off, i got this ball for $30, so i wasnt going to lose much if i didnt like it. turns out it was money well invested!

got this ball used on a single drill, 1 1/2 pin placed it under the RF, with cg down and slightly kicked right. on the right pattern(or even not, from my limited experience with this ball so far) there has been an area of play on the lane for me. granted ive only had 3 outings with this ball so far, but im very pleased with the results im getting, and cant wait to use it in league this thursday, as im sure it will be the shining star of my arsenal.
all the reviews that ive read about this ball hooking a ton, are completely true for me.

last friday(4/4) i was bowing at a wood house with guardian surface, broken down from at least one league, maybe two, im not sure. this ball shined the first and 3rd games, ran into some trouble the second game with it overhooking, and i just didnt make the right move at the right time. i was hooking it more than anyone on my pair, and the two pairs next to me, one guy who cranks the crap out of his ball was having trouble with his track arsenal artillery not recovering in the back, so he and many others had to move right and throw harder, while i moved left and let it fly!

all in all, BEST BRUNSWICK BALL IVE EVER OWNED!(which isnt saying much since this is my 3rd since the original sapphire zone, LOL!)

this ball covers more boards than my pin up ricochet rebound, and they go about the same length down the lane!

anyway, great ball, and props to my friend for hooking me up for $30!

COMMENTS
Carry - This ball hits very hard and keeps the pins low on the deck. If this ball is kept in the oil it can skid by the breakpoint. It tends to send a lot of messangers on light hits as well. When carry down occurs the ball will labor a bit and cause flat hits resulting in corner pins. This ball reads the lane well and makes a great move when it sees dry. I've thown this on a short pattern like Cheetah and this ball just simply owns that shot. It makes an awesome hard ark to the pocket and is very controllable for a pearl.
 
Likes - Works very well on medium fresh patterns. On shorter patterns you need to be firm at release becuase the ball reads the pattern so well. The ball just revs up very well in the mids and reads the dry well reacting off the dry like some one kicked it. The irony is that it does not look like it is doing much until if finds the breakpoint. Interestingly, it is a sleeper since it was released afterthe Fury Solid and before the Twisted Fury. The length of time this ball was in the Brunswick line was short so, most people overlooked it entirely. Unfortunate because this is another awesome Brunswick piece. It is very quickly becoming one of my "go to" balls.

Dislikes - House shots typically have a lake of oil in the middle of the lane. In these cases the Fury Pearl labors if you tug the ball into the oil it will tend to miss the breakpoint. You need to find the friction for this ball to really shine.

Overall: This is a great ball. It is a lot of fun to watch and can cover a multitude of conditions and lengths. The ball is really in the category of "work horse" as far as I am concerned. It provides a unique level of control, predictabilty and punch often not found in a pearl. If you get the chance don't pass this one by.

well, this is a follow up from my first review of this ball. i loved it so much, my friend and driller hooked me up with another one for free, and drilled it using the dual angle technique. wow! what a night and day difference between the balls. the first one reads the lanes very well, and sustains its energy for the backs like a pearl should. the second one reads even better, and rolls like a champ! maintaining a controllable read thru the heads, thru the transition, thru the breakpoint, and finally thru the pins. and this one also keeps the pins low to the deck as opposed to my first fp which sends them flying! and the hook roll is more noticeable and earlier with a 2000 grit abralon and 1500 polish on the ball. i absolutely love this ball and i wish my buddy had hooked me up with his twisted fury destruction.

15lb.
Pin Directly Above Ring
CG in line with Pin under Ring
Small Balance Hole
(bowling style in signature)

After using this ball for about 10 games I must say that I love the reaction on this ball.  It clears the heads with no problem, hits the friction, starts turning then BOOM...it makes the move to the pocket.  It clears the deck.  I tend to use the middle part of the lane since it's oiler to let the ball skid and send it to about the 7th board to make that turn.  

This ball has given me good pin action and has given me a lot of good breaks.  Like with most pearlized bowling balls, you have to be very accurate and make sure you get it to the right breakpoint or else it can go pass the pocket or over react and hit the head pin.  But, skill should come first anyway.  Overall, I this is a good addition to my arsenal.  I like the predictability of the ball.  I can throw the ball and watch it hit my target and breakpoint and turn around and just listen to the strike.  LOL.  Awesome predictable ball with bad intentions.

I've had two. These are very good balls. I played mine in the oil and on the driest of lanes and the ball per formed well. They had a long life well over 500 hundred games between my sons and I.If Brunswick would have stuck with this cover stock they would not have lost me as a loyal  and devoted costumer.I hated the Enmotion cover stock that followed.These balls have good hooking action and can be drilled for dryer lanes they match up well for senior and youth bowlers.One of the best balls I have put in my hands.
