The market has been asking for it and you''ve been warned it was coming...........now the new high performance brand from Brunswick is finally here! After three years of development Brunswick proudly introduces FURY.  FURY comes to market with two new technologies High Octane Coverstock and Symmetric Torsion Core Technology.

Coverstock:
High Octane Coverstock is Brunswick’s latest development in Solid Color Coverstock Technology. The Ultimate & Scorchin’ Inferno® balls were the humble predecessors to the new performance standard of FURY.More aggressive than Activator® or ActivatorMAX, High Octane coverstock provides more traction in the oil and is better able to handle the combination of hard synthetic lane surfaces and the carrydown created by today’s high-tech lane oils. Fury is the highest hook potential non-particle ball Brunswick has ever produced and is our best ever combination of high hook potential, great mid-lane recovery combined with strong and continuous back-end reaction.

Core:
The Torsion core is a new core shape concept that involves applying a computerized torsion or twisting process to high-tech shapes. Brunswick testing has shown that the Torsion core should quickly become known for its high hook potential, easy revving and powerful, but controllable breakpoints.  The first Torsion core is a symmetric version that requires no unique drilling techniques. Brunswick has twisted the core on the inside of the ball so you can twist it up more on the lanes. It started with a Fuze®, turned into an Inferno and now comes the Fury......Feel the FURY.

Reaction Characteristics
•Out of the Box: The FURY continues the Brunswick tradition of controlling the mid-lane to create maximum forgiveness and versatility. With its 800-grit wet sand surface, the FURY matches up well on most medium to oily house conditions.
•When dulled: The hooking action will increase and its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane conditions and for smoothing over/under reactions seen on wet/dry lane conditions.
•When shined: With either Brunswick’s Factory Finish “High Gloss Polish” or “Rough Buff”, your FURY will go longer in the oil and react stronger to the dry creating a more skid/snap arc. High Gloss Polish creates more length than Rough Buff.

See stats for profile. *Update* I drilled a second one to try out this summer-I have attached my thoughts and lay outs.

Lay Out # 1: Pin 4.5" from PAP (slightly under ring finger), 75deg angle. Small wt hole 3.5" down on the VAL.

Lay Out # 2: Pin 5 " from PAP (over ring finger), 80 degree angle. Weight hole added 2" down my VAL to try to increase flare.

Surface: Lay Out # 1-1000abr. Lay Out # 2-box, then 1000, then 2000, then 4000.

Purpose: To give myself a arsenal ball that I could use on longer oil/higher volume patterns.

Observations: I have thrown this ball on THS and a couple of tournament conditions one being flat and long and another the downloaded USBC Nationals pattern. On the THS, I have to keep this in the puddle as long as possible because the ball will burn too early and leave flat tens or overhook and go high. On the flatter pattern, the Fury gave me a lot of over/under. On the USBC pattern, the ball did not hook enough to use. My Total Inferno was a much better look.

Final thoughts: I am thinking the motor (core) in this ball is not as strong as some of the Ebonite "One" motors and the ball did not seem as continous as past Brunswick "oilers" have been like the Ultimate and Strike Zone were. I am a tweener and did not want to lay this out any stronger than I did for fear of having a ball that would be uncontrollable on too many shots. The tires (cover) seem to be good, but the core is not a good match for me. I would think that wrapping this coverstock around a stronger motor like the assymetric zone cores or the rumored "phantom" core, would make for a huge seller and a more usuable ball for the tweeners. As it is, the boomers and the straighties will love this ball. The boomers will be able to drill it strong and not have it overhook and the straighties will be able to take the shell down to 360-500 abralon and use it on floods. It was just not a good fit for me and what I needed in my bag at his time.

After thoughts: I drilled a second Fury because I thought maybe I could change some things in my lay out and thinking of how to use this ball. My thought was since the motion is not very strong off the friction, that I would tweak my lay out and surface and use this on more medium/medium oil conditions when the back ends are fresh and the ball would need to be smoother in the back ends. I tried this on a couple of the PBA patterns that were more in the medium/shorter distance and the ball just still did not perform as well as other balls in my bag. I just didn't find anything that jumped out to merit keeping either so they were sold.

I like ball. Ball go hooky hook in oil and hit like a truck when hit pins. Don't know much about boowling, but ball is really kewl looking. I can throw it on the lanes (it doesn't matter where) and pins go splat!!

Good job, brunsnicky for drilling me out a real hooky ball..
--------------------
Keep looking... I'm sure there's a 300 in one of those balls you keep buying!!

Absolutely amazing! I will admit, it took me a game or two to get used to it, but after that, I could not shoot below 200. This ball reads the midlane well and then has a strong, continuous backend. Overall, it was very easy to control it and i would recommend it to anyone! The only thing that i noticed is that this ball picks up oil like a sponge, but that can be handled.

Got this ball two weeks before it was actually available to the general public through a friend who works at a pro shop and had a seed ball.  Wasn't sure if I really liked anything about it at first except for the AMAZING reaction on the back half of the lane, especially when very oily.  Then I went out practicing and corrected two minor problems with my hand position and three weeks later I bowled my first 300 game.  I can't wait for the Fury Pearl now!

Stats and photos equipment are in my profile.  
I picked up a NIB Fury weighing 14lb 15oz, with 2.5 top and a 4-5" pin.  Before I drilled this ball, I smoothed the aggressive box finish ending at 2000 grit abralon.  I layed the ball out with the pin 5" from my PAP (above and between my fingers) and the cg right of the grip center, approximately 4.5" from my PAP.  Initially, I threw the ball without a weight hole.

Fresh league shot, 37' medium oil pattern on AMF HPL synthetics.  On this shot, the ball cleared the heads surprisingly well.  As a matter of fact, the ball had much more length than I expected for such a strong coverstock.  When the ball would reach the dry backends/outside, it would make a strong "flip" towards the pocket.  Although very strong, the backend was still controllable.  I had to keep chasing the oil inside as the night progressed.  If I stayed in one spot too long, the ball wouldn't overreact, but I would just leave a flat 10 pin.  A 2 & 1 adjustment inside and I was back to carrying.  Light hits would mix, flush shots would push everything back... the only time I didn't carry was when I tugged one inside (in which case it would run high...just not enough hold oil in the middle for this ball) or when I forgot to "pro-actively" move inside after a few frames.  I started the night standing 20, throwing 12 at the arrows out to around 5 board.  But the end of the night, I was standing 35 throwing 15-16 at the arrows out to around 8-9.  Great reaction and carry all night.  Never really seemed to notice any sort of carry down, which is typically an issue at this house.  However, I bought the ball for heavier oil patterns and not my local medium oil house shot.

The following week I had an opportunity to sub at another house which typically puts out a much higher volume, longer shot.  Lanes are quite old and wood.  Starting out, the Fury seemed to go a touch long for me.  Still a very strong "controlled-flip" on the backend, but I had to be careful with my speed to prevent from throwing it through the breakpoint.  Here I was playing straight up the boards, around 7 at the arrows.  After warm-ups and the first couple frames, the track area began to open up and I was able to bump inside and bounce it off the dry.  Again, no signs of carry-down being an issue.  Easy length and very strong backend reaction.

I decided to put a weight hole in the ball to increase the flare with the hopes of getting the ball to start up a touch sooner, taming down the backend a little, and covering a couple more boards in the oil.  I mapped out my PAP and went down the VAL 3 3/8".  I put a 1" hole 3" deep (ended up being just below my thumb hole).  I cleaned the surface of the ball up, lightly hitting it with a 2000 grit abralon pad again and headed for the lanes.

The weight hole tweaked the reaction just as I had hoped.  The Fury now started up a little sooner and overall was about 2 boards stronger.  I would consider the backend now to be a hard arc.  With the 2000 grit abralon surface, the ball seems to cover medium to medium-heavy conditions best.  The ball currently fits underneath my strike zone drilled RICO and finished at 500 abralon.  When the strike zone starts to burn up a little, I can pull out the Fury and play almost an identical line, but with a totally different look on the lane.  The SZ starts up very early and has a smooth backend and the Fury gets down the lane easier with a stronger, more angular backend.  For right now, I'm going to keep the surface of the Fury at 2000 grit as it seems to work quite well, but once I find something to fit underneath the Fury (possibly a total inferno with the appropriate surface) or something to be released in the near future, I may adjust the Fury coverstock to 1000 grit.  I expect this will allow the ball to truly be at home on some of the heavier patterns I run into.  Overall, one of the better balls I have thrown in a while.

Thank You... Only a Year Late!

I was shocked! says Theismann

I got a fury about 3 months ago. I love this ball the way it hits the way it rolls the way it recovers. Drilling is as follows. 4 inch pin, Pin is above ring finger cg kicked out slightly 2.9oz top weight i beleave its a flare increasing x hole. This balls backend can only be decribed as one word "BIG" it come back from just about anywhere. I had this ball at oob finish and it worked great on my ths conditions great but for my pba experence league and now have it at 500 aberlon. I have used this ball on many differnent ths conditions differnt meanin different houses. I have also used the ball on the shark pattern, toc pattern,and the viper pattern and had mild luck on all three i love this ball and it usually is first out of the bag good job big B with this one i guess 3 years of testing really paid off.

Ball weight-15lb

Pin-out-----3in.

Top wgt-----3.2 oz

Surface-----1st O.O.B.---2nd 1000grit with heavy finesse it

Drill-------5 X 3 1/2, Pin below middle finger with a small flare reduction hole inside of V.A.L. on midline

Shot used on-- Medium T.H.S., oiled 30ft and buffed to 40ft

Bowler--Slower speed ( 14-15mph ), rev-dominant game. Not much side turn ( 30 degree axis rotation ), not much tilt (15 degrees)

  In its box finish, this was one strong ball for me. Not really unpredictable, just a very midlane type, very strong rolling on the backend type ball.  As long as I played inside far enough to find oil, it would work, but I ended up lofting the guttercaps, and I don't really want to do that on a regular basis, so I took it to the shop for a finer surface and a shine job.  With the O.O.B. finish, it would just start trying to read the lanes too early for me unless I was WAY deep.

  After a trip to the shop and some polish, this ball is MUCH better for what I am going to be using it on. Not much tournament bowling anymore, mostly leagues at home.  The Octane cover clears the heads really cleanly with the shiny surface, but still starts to rev up nicely in the midlane, and still gives me that nice, really hard arc/flip reaction that it did even with the duller, factory surface. A bit flippier now, but still nice.

  This seems to be a versatile ball.  Sort of reminds me of how the original Danger Zone acted way back when they were first out.  Pretty simple to drill, very "readable" type movement, and a strong, yet predictable movement on the backends, only you get this on todays oils and patterns.

  The only drawback that I had, and this may be just a by product of the way I have it drilled, the polish, and my release, but it seems to carry much better for me if I give it a little "room to work" so to speak.  If I played a tight line, the carry seemed to go down a bit, but as long as I could swing it a few boards, the carry was awesome.
