Brunswick 3.5 -vs- Curve
« on: March 07, 2010, 06:01:28 AM »
Hello Group
 For those that have thrown the Brunswick 3.5 and the new Curve how would they compare? I have the 3.5 and from what I have been reading here I'm very interested in the Curve or the Massacre Red Death. Thanks, Jake

Iw ould say the Curve is closer to the 2.5....The 3.5 will create much more friction than the Curve..

Saw the Curve today at a tourney roll really well for Bill Bauer..

I was throwing my Red Death and they both played...

The 3.5's were more jumpy..

It was supposed to be the 2010 USBC paatern..

Hope this helps a little..

Thanks beans your comment really helped. Is the Red Death a hybrid cover? if so does that mean that its a solid and pearl?

the reason I ask is I'm looking for an aggressive solid and from what I have been reading in here it seems that the Red Death might fit the bill

Red Death is a solid, Blue Death on the other hand is a true Pearl/Solid hybrid.

Game stated it perfect...

The Red Death is an aggressive solid reactive with a great angular core design..

The Red and Blue death are a great combo...

I absolutely LOVE my Blue Death and the Red really impressed me today on a decently difficult pattern..

I think Lane#1 calls the Red Death a "hybrid" for the propaganda/advertising effect. "Hybrid" seems to have become a positive connotation. The Red Death is actually a solid/solid hybrid, so in truth it is not truly what we think of, in bowling, when we speak of a hybrid. The same is true for the Gemstone, but it's a pearl/pearl hybrid. Technically, yes, they're hybrids. Practically speaking they are not.

Then what kind of Hybrid is it?  I've got one in the mail, just curious, I just assumed it was a solid.  What do you mean by solid/solid hybrid?  It has 2 separate solid coverstocks blended into one?

that is exactly what it is two different versions of a solid reactive blended together, the gemstone is the same, two different pearl variations blended

Blue death a true hybrid, part solid part pearl

It is a solid.  You don't call a solid made up of two solids a hybrid.

But by definition it is a hybrid.
2 cover stocks combined to create one coverstock, is a hybrid.
Just because the 2 coverstocks aren't solid and pearl, doesn't mean it isn't still made up of 2 separate coverstocks.
Just because the word isn't being applied the way you've come to commonly expect, does not make it incorrect.

By definition, it's a hybrid.
As far as bowling knowledge goes, it's simply a new coverstock, that is in fact a solid.
