- Description: The Addaptive ƒ(P+R) Solid coverstock is Brunswick’s newest innovation in performance enhancing additive chemistry. ƒ(P+R) describes our latest ƒormula that combines our new (P)rojection and our new (R)ecovery additives together to create our most aggressive coverstock to date. The Projection additive easily pushes the super aggressive coverstock down lane where the Recovery additive connects with the lane for an extraordinary backend hook motion. Being able to combine multiple additives in a coverstock allows Brunswick to effectively fine tune the length, mid-lane and backend characteristics of the ball.
The new Nexus Rotor core integrates a center stabilizing capsule and two vertical flip claws. The center stabilizing capsule revs quickly to control the mid-lane. As the axis migrates and the core lays down, the vertical flip claws take over maintaining the rev rate for a strong continuation through the backend and powerful drive through the pins.
The Nexxus ƒ (P+R) is so strong it extends the limits of our Ball Comparison chart. With its 1500-grit Siaair micro pad finish, the Nexxus ƒ (P+R) offers our highest hook potential and most continuation of any Brunswick ball to date.
With an extraordinary ball motion the Nexxus ƒ (P+R) skids through the front, saves axis rotation in the mid-lane and grabs the backend for unbelievable continuation on medium to heavy oil lane conditions.
The Nexus ƒ(P+F) can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for asymmetric bowling balls.
The unique core shape of each individual ball is used for weights from 14 to 16 pounds. This approach to lightweight ball engineering provides bowlers with consistent ball reaction characteristics across this weight range. At 12 and 13 pounds, Brunswick uses a generic core shapewith a RG-differential that is close enough to the 14 to 16 pound shape so thesame drilling instructions can be used.

This ball is amazing! It goes goes through the pins so well and never quits. It works very well on oiler conditions. I would highly recommend everyone to have one in their bag. I compared it to my nexus solid and it is much stronger and hits harder but is very controllable. It gets through heads very well.

got this ball 15# 4 oz, 2.5 tw..4.5x60x30...pin above ring, cg in palm, mb right next to thumb. left ball at oob surface. this ball is clean through the fronts, with a very strong backend. hits and carries great. great continuation through the pins, and keeps pins low to the deck. playing 25 out to 8-12 this ball just rips the rack..no over/under..very predictable at the breakpoint. this is my first brunswick ball, and gotta admit its pretty awsum. definately the strongest ball ive ever owned. it is about 7 boards stronger than my 900 global bank roll. this ball is also good with carry down. reads the lanes nicely, and tears the pins up. strokers and tweeners will absolutely love this ball..thanks "beans" for the ball, and punching it up for me..awsum job. i will definately be buying more brunswick equipment..great job with this great ball.

Likes:This ball is STRONG. I haven't thrown this ball very much because I can't seem to find enough oil for this ball. Tournament time is around the corner so I am sure I will be throwing it soon. It starts up about a foot sooner than the Nexus Solid drilled the same. If I can get it to the spot it goes through the pins very well. As deep as I have to get with this ball you would expect to leave flat corners, but not with this ball. It snaps the corners out with ease. I will be drilling another one and putting some polish on it. I will let you know how that one rolls as soon as I can.

Dislikes: Nothing!!! It's that good.

Likes: Ball keeps the pins low and foor me it kicks the 10 out no matter how deep i get. I rolled it for the first time tonight. I had to put it away after the first game. For me i was 7 boards left of where i normally start. And i was 7-8 boards left at the arrows.

Way to much ball for me on the THS out of the box. When i get home from nationals i will tweak the coverstock and post another review.

COMMENTS

Likes:Excellent combination of midlane and angular backend. Relative to the Nexus p+f sanded, 4 and 1 further inside. I thought the Nexus p+f was a huge improvement fromm the CSystem Alpha Max, and a great benchmark ball for heavy oil. Never could carry with the Alpha Max. What I like about the NeXXus is that I get the angular breakpoint without having to create more axis rotation with the release. With the Nexus p+f, it was great until moving deeper inside. With the XX, no worries. It gives a similar ball motion to the Nexus Pearl, but obviously in a heavier oiled condition

Likes:You have to have this ball in your bag! Its a game changer! With the projection additive in the ball this dull coverstock of 1500 gets down the lane with ease, regardless of how the coverstock is altered. I recently used it in a tournament where players where all using pearilized equipment and I was playing the same part of the lane with the new Nexxus Solid. They were asking how does that ball not burn up energy? With is projection additive and recovery additive this ball is like no other you have every owned....it gets down lane with ease, and has great recovery allowing you as the bowler to not have to be so perfect. I have drilled both of mine for tougher conditions.. ball 1- pin up is a 35 x 4 1/2 x 30- this has made the ball be very smooth off the break especially for longer patterns, I've used it at our state tournament where I averaged 240 for 9 games which was a modified league shot, Ive used it on the cheetah, 2012 Nationals pattern at our bowling center, and on a flat pattern. I've been able to use it everywhere, and it hits like no other ball I've seen. Ball 2- pin down with a 65 x 4 x 60 degree drilling. This one gets going sooner than my previous drilling but keeps the predictible shape I like. I will be drilling one more as my "show" ball on league conditions, which I think would be the typical layout most bowlers would like with this ball because it will give them length and strong backend look and that will be... 70 x 5 x 30. Get one of these in your bag today, and watch your scores improve!

I used this ball 2 times now, and it is about 5 boards stronger downlane than the Nexus f(P+F). It is just as clean in the front part of the lane as the Nexus f(P+F), but has a stronger motion when reaching the friction. I used it at a tournament this past weekend for all 6 games which was bowled on the WTBA Atlanta pattern which is 38' and has a heavier volume in the first 20 feet of the lane. The Nexxus f(P+R) allowed me to stay in the same area on the lane longer without having to jump 5 boards left in 1 or 2 frames. The Nexxus allowed me a little miss room to the right and still have enough to recover. It would be best used for patterns that have a heavier volume of oil or where a stronger backend reaction is needed. It doesn't leave corner pins even though it allowed me to open up the angles on the lane. I have not adjusted the box surface, and it hasn't hooked early for me yet. Even though I have it drilled with a 6" pin to pap, it still flares about 5" on the ball. If you are looking for a ball that clears the heads and can give you that extra hook in the backend, this is the ball for you.

The Nexxus f(P+R) is the third release in this line. The deisgn for this ball was to be a little more angular off the spot when compared to the Nexus f(p+f). Also to be stronger overall as well.

I drilled mine with the intent to smooth it out. The original Nexus privided me with enough back end. I used 40x5x40 with a hole in my PAP. This layout really lets me keep my angles smaller. Even with this layout the ball corners plenty. When comparing to the Nexus the double "x" is about 4-5 boards stronger. The ball taked surface adjustments very well.

This ball will be best used on heavier and longer patterns. Use this when you just need something to hook. This ball will get it done for you.

COMMENTS

Likes: Oil handling ability and Overall strength

Dislikes: Needs lots of oil

The Nexxus is an upgraded version of the very popular Nexus Solid. This new release possesses what many of us didn't think was possible: More Hook! The Nexxus made a very slick 43 foot sport pattern look like a joke. I was able to get about 8 boards deeper than one of my friends with a competitors masonry based product. The shorter angle pin up ball made the out of bounds look non existent. After about a game and a half, the ball would wheel the entire lane with ease and come back from almost anywhere. Compared to similarly drilled Nexus Solid balls, the new Nexxus balls hook about 5 boards more. The larger angle pin down ball has a smooth hook set motion while the smaller angle pin up ball hooks the whole lane with lots of continuation. On our house shot the pin over ball requires me to start at around the 23 board at the arrows out to board 7 or so. It is simply a monster!!!! These ball with definitely see lots of use on oilier patterns that we bowl on during the PBA Regional Schedule and other scratch tournaments. The ball seems to match up better for higher speed bowlers on our moderate volume house shot thus far. One of our left handed teammates has shot big scores with it the last several weeks. It has changed his game for sure, as he sees more recovery and is able to move inside more as the lanes change. The Nexxus is a new standard in oil handling ability. If you are looking for maximum recovery on slicker lane conditions join the Brunswick revolution and roll with the Nexxus!

Drilled this Nexus the same as my favorite Nexus Solid with a 55X5.5X35 with no hole, and sanded in the Haus with 4000 abralon. this ball fits right in between my favorite Nexus Solid, and my Nexus Pearl. It is abot a foot cleaner, than the solid and a foot earlier than the pearl. Backend it is 3 less than the solid and 2-3 more than the pearl. I think I am going to like this ball on longer patterns with medium volume, as they start to break down. I would like to see a little bit more of a defined break point out of this ball, but that can be altered with a hole down the line when I throw it a little more. Again...this isn't your old Brunswick look. This ball is definately strong down the lane.

Layout used: 66x 5 5/8 x 40 Pin ended up being above the middle finger with the cg kicked out slightly without an exta hole needed.

Ball Surface: OOB

Review: Gets down the lane very well for a high end ball. Makes a strong, yet controllable motion when it sees friction. Comparing it to the original solid Nexus, it responds to the friction fairly quicker and is about 3-4 boards stronger on the backend. When I see the original not making the correct motion downlane I can move a few boards inside with the XX and open the lane up.

Strengths/Weakness: Its length and controllability. Most high end balls that responds to friction as strong as this one does tends to go sideways, but not this one.
