The ball goes through the front part of the lane with very little effort.  It is very predictable, and when you need to move in, this ball will get around the corner.  The ball really reads the dry portion of the lane.  It is a great ball for when you need too open up the lane and project it away from the pocket.  The ball gives great versitillity.  You can play up the boards or you can get in and swing it.  When there is a little more oil on the lanes i would put the ball away and go with something else.  This ball does need some dry boards  for it to work really well. This ball is a must have for any tournament players arsenal.

Excellant aggressive reactive by Brunswick; ball has hook at
break point of a solid but in a pearl cover. I drilled mine
4 1/2 by 3 3/8 and got medium length with a dramatic move
but I was elated with the hitting power of this ball. I have
been able to use it on fairly heavy oil and still get a decent
reaction. Ball seems to work great from all parts of the lane.

Had this abll for some time now just never had any extra time to review


This ball to me is a control ball unless the backens are flying.

I have mine drilled 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 hole on PAP

I love to use it on drier conditions or spotty conditions,
i get a very true roll out of it not as snappy as you would think of this ball.

Carry is above average but not spectaular

For me it seems it was advertised incorrectly as a big snap ball I find that is just not true, if you try this on heavy oil its great for straight spares.

I've been using this ball since November in league and tournaments. GREAT BALL!  This ball "TOTALLY REEKS OF AWESOMENESS"!!!
My favorite "go-to" ball when the Firehawk's leaving splits or not carrying. Best for medium-oily conditions. This ball revs hard and hits hard in the pocket!  A beautiful reaction-very smooth & revving on the lanes and at the pins! Forgiving and can carry the "off-hits"(light & Brooklyn).  The coverstock (PowerKoil18) seems to be very lively as it can really make the pins move & dance around horizontally!  A reaction, I believe is very unique to this ball.  Also polished up to save energy and hit for the backend.
Good control and hitting power! Effective on all lanes as long as not too dry or too much carrydown.  One of my favorites and very versatile ball! If I only had one ball to use, this would be it.  A winner from Brunswick!!!  GO FUZE!!!

This is my second review, but it is for a different red fuze.  My first review was for a Fuze drilled 4x3 that I ultimately found to be my best strong reactive ball, edging out the Trauma and the ER.  This review is for one that I drilled 2x2 for some early roll and control.  I used a pin out, low top weight ball and only needed a small balance hole to make it legal.  I first tried this ball on the difficult 36 foot pattern at Tucson in the Senior Masters.  It took me all of 2 shots to realize it wouldn't work.  However I brought it back home and tried it on a heavily crowned anvil lane shot and was very pleased.  Many people have mentioned the over under they experience on a box condition Red Fuze.  While that is easily tweaked with a surface adjustment, I found the 2x2 drilling to be an equally good remedy.  With this drilling I was reminded very much of the old Danger zone.  The 2x2 started up much quicker than the 4x3, but I was still able to get in around 15 board and get nice hit if I didn't swing it too far.  Definitely a condition ball with this drilling, but very effective if I have a little back end.

I want to thank Ray for comping me this ball in Tucson.

My style is in my profile, and i have used alot of ebonite in the last year or so. I have become tired of the roll of ebonite, and have gone looking for something new and exciting.

The Red Fuze Is that ball, This is without a doubt the strongest pearl ever! Pearl Particle or Reactive, it is the strongest!I haven't changed the cover like alot of reviewers have, i didn't have any problems with over/under.

Ball is drilled simple hook stop. Or 3 3/8 X 2. It is smooth and arcing and has great continous roll right through the pins. Ball has better carry than anything ebonite has, and can match any storm for carry too. The Red Fuze can handle alot more oil than first believed, also i don't use a spareball, and i normally just try to kill the ball's reaction with speed and wrist adjustment. That is almost impossible. I have seen a few tweeners and one cranker use this ball and it was strong for both of them..

First condition, House shot, light though. Lanes are wood, with guardian heads. Strong backends. Ball was flying in the backends, really strong, too strong for this shot, i was standing on the 35, out to the 15, ball breaks on the 3 about 44ft down and just makes a direct turn to the pocket.

Second condition, Sport shot, med( 20 outside, 40 inside) was able to play my most comfortable line, standing on 31, out over the 3rd arrow to the 3or 5 board and back to the pocket. Ball recovered very well on the sport shot, it recovered stronger than my Apex Adrenaline, and everything else in my bag.
I was playing against a storm rep and he was using an X-It and i was having no problems but the rep,(a power tweener with cranker revs like me) struggled all night, switching from his X-it to his response, and never getting comfortable,
End of story beat him, 653 to 533

Last condition. synthetics, house shot, lots of grab in the backend. second shift, with carrydown. ball again recovered where others wouldn't and was strong, and never early rolling.ball is great and almost perfect with the right cover prep and drill pattern. Enjoy!

I thank god everyday that i was not born with the name Steve.

Got this ball for a regional tournament and it was set up with a simple 4X3 drilling. Hook set normally but this ball reacts so strong on fresh backends you can't tell it has that type of drilling.

Ball Carries better than anything else from brunswick in the past.I use this ball on a heavy house shot that right now has no dry area on the outsides. It is a 42ft crown pattern. Backends are clean and move well. This pattern for me is difficult to find and be able to maintain a line without having to adjust almost constantly. I only had two lines to play, on was standing on the 35, sending the ball out the 25 and it would roll to the 5to 7 and charge back to the pocket. the other line avaible was down and in. this ball can't play down and in. the ball will roll to early and it need to be swung out to sit long enough. This ball is strong plain and simple. If you have a high rev rate. drill this control drilling patterns and not strong becauase the ball will be too much. those with less hand will love this ball cause it will make you feel confident enough to move more left and swing it more.

Overall ball carries very well and it is a strong bench mark ball.

I have my Raging Red Fuze drilled with a 4x4 layout. The pin
is under my ring finder. I left the ball in box condition. I tested this
ball on a couple of conditions.

One condition was a 38 foot pattern on wood lanes. The ball cleared the
heads nicely and made a hard snappy backend. I really had to move with the
oil because of the Aggressive Reactive coverstock. On this shot, I played
deep inside around the 22 board and swung the ball to 5. The reaction was
strong and the ball finished hard.

Another condition was the same 38 foot pattern, however the lanes were
Brunswick Pro Anvilane synthetics. I played inside near 25 and swung the ball to the 10 board. It rolled nicely into the pocket, but overreacted if it got
out past 10. I did not have to move as much on the Brunswick synthetics as
with the wood lanes and the other.

The other condition was about 40 feet with less oil around 10 board. The oil
was thick with the surface being wood. I played a little more direct swinging
the ball from about 13 to 4. The ball went long and snapped hard.

I like this ball because it clears the heads and H.I.T.S. However, it
is really sensitive to the oil breaking down, especially on wood lanes.
This ball needs head oil or it will roll out at the breakpoint.
Good ball, I rate it a 9 out of 10!!
