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

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..

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

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?

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.

No, by your definition, almost every ball that has come out would be a hybrid. Actually, the definition of the word hybrid would make every ball that has been made, a hybrid. However, in the classical sense of the word in regards to bowling balls and the terminology that has been used to describe their basic makeup, I believe it would be incorrect to call this ball a hybrid.
It's not my definition, it's the dictionary's.
You can argue all you want, I already explained it.
By definition it is technically a hybrid.
By common bowling terms, it's not what we consider a Hybrid.

The difference is that when we use a certain term in bowling or any sport, activity, hobby or business, we expectthat object to conform,not just to the technical specifications, but to our own ideas and to the common and accepted usage of the terms.
In bowling hybrid has come to mean a combination of solid and pearlized coverstocks, for the 99% case. This is because a solid/pearl combo acts differently from a solid and a pearl. A solid/solid combo (Red Death) does not act differently from a solid and a pearl/pearl combo (Gemstone) does nto act differently from a pearl.
Lane#1 did the same thing years ago when they mixed Activator with PK 18. They implied this in the name of the coverstock , but they never called it a hybrid. That's because hybrids, back then, did not have the positive implications that the Storm Hy-Road has given the label, "hybrid", in today's bowling environment.
