Title: New Brunswick equipment
Post by: TamerBowling on August 10, 2012, 10:39:21 PM

Hi All,
We recently reviewed the Brunswick C-System maxxed out, Nexxxus f(P+S), and Karma Urethane.  I must say I'm pretty impressed with this new equipment, especially the "triple x".  The Karma Urethane really moves a lot for a urethane ball while still offering excellent control.

Check out the reviews, videos, and Digitrax analysis and let me know what you think.

Once again, great reviews and videos.  I'm curious what the drilling was on the Versa Max in the Karma video.  It had a much different breakpoint shape than your earlier review of that ball.

Thanks Tamer Bowling!

Doug the videos are of two different bowlers! If you watch the Versa-Max video it's a different bowler and oil pattern! The video they did the review for the Versa-Max the guy uses grips and plays up the boards on Stone St., and this video the guys doesn't use grips.

Thanks Bruce.
Right, the Versa-Max video was shot on a 42 ft Stone Street which also has more units of oil than 41 ft Kegel Main Street used for the recent test of the Karma.
Layouts are similar, both pin up with CG close to palm.  Exact figures are 75 x 3.5 x 40 on the ball compared to the Karma.

You call that Dude a "power stroker".  There isn't anything "stroker" about that wrist snap at the bottom of his swing.

Both videos of the Versa-Max are awesome and I appreciate the work you guys do to showcase the new equipment!! They both show how versatile the Versa-Max is for different styles of bowlers!! Keep up the great work!! Bruce

This is part of the reason why I don't really like the terms Cranker, Tweener, and Stroker.  They don't mean a whole lot these days.  Mikey is a rev dominant style bowler.  If you would see him live, he looks absolutely effortless.  Some would kill to be able to do what he does to a bowling ball with so little work. :-)

Silly question and forgive me if they are your sponsor, but what's with the Storm logo in the video?

Just realized that.  No they are not my sponsor.  I just used a template I had which happened to be the last ball I reviewed.
Gotta fix that...
