5.75" pin below fingers with the weight hole 3 3/8" down the VAL. Or drill pattern #3 on the Brunswick video.

I've bowled several games on the US Open pattern the last few days with this ball and it gave me the best look out of all my other balls. I like the solid Octane cover. In OOB finish it is very early at first, but once you get a little oil in the cover it settles down a bit. I am not planning on polishing it because I polished my low pin Total.

I also like the way the ball transitions down the lane with the new core. Like Mika said, it was the only ball that would carry on this pattern. I haven't thrown it on a THS, but unless you have a lot of oil up front it will burn early. The Octane helps the ball get down lane farther than the Inferno's, but it is still a very aggressive ball.

This ball will go with me everywhere!!!

Only have 6 games with this ball, so I'm not really sure yet.  I gotta say, though it's the first time I've been dissappointed by a Bruswick ball.  I've used them exclusively for the past 15 years.  Drilling is the same as Corey C., what Brunswick terms as "pin down, hole down".  Lot's of 10's as the others have mentioned, but the real problem is over-under.  Doesn't hook as much in the oil as advertised - only 1 -2 boards more that the original inferno, but is too strong off the dry making the ball just about unusable on wet-dry conditions, as my league has been accumstomed to recently.  Perhaps some polish will allow me to stay in the dry.

I was just in Vancouver for a tournament at Excalibur in Surrey. This house is only 5 years old and they have a new Authorty 22 lane machine. With a new surface and heavy oil in the heads, the Fury was the ultimate ball for their THS.

Early in the block I used a 1000 abralon pin under Radical, to tame the snap off the backend. Once the oil carried down the Fury was the perfect ball and carried well. I also tried my low pin Total with 2000 abralon finish and it was earlier and stronger off the dry. The flare rings on the Total are farther apart than the Fury  which also contibuted to the earlier reaction.

I agree with Bob on the reaction after you get a little oil in the cover. The ball reads the lane a lot better and is stronger on the backend. Mine is still OOB and it looks a little shiny now.

I got to use the "fury" again on a practice session at a different house just to see the ball reaction. The conditions are synthetic with pretty light oil.
The "fury" still stunk. There was not enough oil in this house for the ball in ood condition. So in 1 house these to much oil and in another not enough oil. The ball reached about 40 feet then rolled out and died on the back end. It didnt hit hard on either of the 2 lane conditions that I used it on. I never had a ball that was so "lane senitive" as the "fury". For this weeks league on the heavy oil I am taking the cover down to 500 and I'll post another review. As for now this ball is terrible.

Let me start by congratulating the BIG B on yet another fine product.

Ball stats:
Pin: 3"
Drill: Pin down 4.5" from PAP, CG at 50*, x-hole 2.25" down VAL (1" hole)
Weight: 15

Bowler stats:
Rev rate: 350
Speed: 17
Tilt: very low

House #1:
lanes: wood with 22' guardian
pattern: viper and scorpion

Viper: able to use Fury on the Viper due to the continution caused by the drill. even with fresh backends, there is no snap in the breakpoint whatsoever. played a laydown of 27 out to 7 at the breakpoint (around 42 ft.). ball was VERY smooth and carried everything (that wasn't a 9 pin). i've moved that far inside with other equipment and left tons of flat 10s, but this ball just hits!! every game, i moved an average of 2 boards inside and i never saw a difference in carry (except more 9 pins). although a "roll monster/hook-in-a-box", it was/is the ball of choice for the Viper. avg. 203

Scorpion: the increased amount of oil downlane caused a tighter line. i played with 16 as a laydown out to 9/10 at the breakpoint. the low RG and the drilling allowed the ball to get into a roll early enough to finish(something my Scorchin couldn't do). with the breakdown, i made parralell (sp?) moves inside (i was the farthest inside on my pair so i would have fresh oil). the ball still carried everything. slight user error and missed spares caused a 197 avg.

House #2:
Lanes: AMF synthetic
Pattern: 42' house

this house shot has a lot of over/under. to compensate, i kept my hand behind the ball and played fairly deep. i started at a laydown of 28 out to 8 BP. the continuous reaction helped calm the over/under and if tugged into the oil, the ball would hold line, finish, and carry. if pushed outside, the ball would scream back and just shread the rack (save for the 9 pins). carry has always been a problem in this out due to heavier pins. i was able to avg. 218 for the 6 games.

Conclusion;
no matter the pattern and angle, this ball hits as long as you feed it some oil. the carry is like nothing i've seen before. everytime i throw it, its like i tossed a frag instead. thats how hard it hits! it carries from every angle and leaves more 9 pins than i could ever imagine. this ball is not just the hook monster that it is portrayed to be, but a roll monster. it is definitly a piece to have in your arsenal. the even arc make it perfect for tearing tougher shots a new one! sport shots beware!

First review here.

I put medium revs on a ball and roll it around 16-17 MPH.  I go for an axis rotation of about 40-45 degrees or so.  If I'm off I'm usually close to 35 degrees.  Rare I go about 50 degrees.  What I'm saying is if I'm off I'm more likely to have forward roll than side roll.  I have my Fury drilled about like Brunswick pattern 1E suggests.

So that's pin right of the ring finger, CG below that to the right of the center grip and the PAP about 3 3/8" out.  There is no X hole in this ball.  I wanted my Fury to start picking up in the midlane and then come big in the backend.

The ball was throw in practice at an AMF house on a Saturday afternoon.  Definitely THS and it was average, medium oil.  A very typical house shot.  Coverstock is out of box.

First thing I noticed is this ball hits hard.  From any angle it really unloads on the pins.  Second thing I noticed is this ball likes oil.

It gets through the heads real nice and starts grabbing midlane some.  But it reads it very well.  You think it's going to start moving too soon and lose its energy and cross over but it doesn't.  Like the hook picture shows, it gains its composure in the midlane and then when it hits the backend, look out!

It's especially forgiving if you miss your breakpoint some outside.  Being that it's a THS it'll find its feet and grab the lane and make an angle for the pocket and really smash 'em.  Inside misses on the breakpoint generally fair well to but are more prone to leaving 10 pins I've found.  Shots right on your breakpoint don't give the pins a chance, obviously.

I usually throw a Vapor Zone on a THS like this that has some (not a lot) Rough Buff polish on it.  The VZ is more than enough ball for these types of conditions.  The fury allows me to play inside about 4 or 5 more boards I found.  So on the nights when the lanes are a little more fresh, I'll be able to bust out my Fury for a game or so and then move to my VZ.  I'll probably end up throwing some more polish on the VZ do really get that backend snap.

That, to me, was the main difference in these 2 balls.  The Fury started to make a move in the midlane some, but didn't lose power some how.  The VZ skids through the midlane and then darts for the pocket in the backend almost exclusively.  So it's easy to see why the Fury is an ideal heavy oil ball.  It's not going to be squirty and will recover and be able to move with minimal backend as it readies itself in the midlane.

On a THS this ball gives a lot of area to play with.  It allows you to play deeper by about 4 or 5 boards compared to a VZ (Activator+) with a little polish.  I'm going to probably polish my VZ more now to create a little more space between these balls.  I mean, there's definitely space to be sure, But I usually only bring 2 balls and a spare ball so I like a gap between by balls.

Interestingly, I was able to play from the same spot with the Fury as I could my VZ.  But by playing deeper it got back to the pocket just as well and at a bigger angle.  So the choice was obvious.

Kind of a rambling review.  But the point is clear.  The Fury is a hell of a ball that will keep up with oily lane conditions with small backends.  It's also veristle enough to play on a medium oil house shot if you're willing to play a little deeper.  You get a big angle this way.  If you can control you'll score big.

The Fury is forgiving (as are a lot of balls under these conditions) and I was impressed with the different spots I could play.  Not once did this ball quit on me.  It just doesn't roll out and it keeps coming and coming.  It hits really hard as evidenced by some rather poor shots that ended up in strikes when a split would have been more likely.  

It rolls hard and has a lot left on the back end.  It doesn't seem right to use this ball on a house shot.  It's almost too easy.  I'm waiting to try it on a tougher condition.

In 4 games I shot very well.  Well above my average in the first 3.  The last game was an experimentation game mainly and a comparison game.  

Just drilled a Brunswick Fury last week. I was considering Hammer No Mercy and Black Widow but in the end i got the Fury. 1st thing i have to say, its GOOD!~ The hitting power is great, once u hit the pocket, there is only 5% that it can't strike! The hooking is also good. A very good ball for medium to oily lanes. I have a BVP Rampage and after throwing the Fury, realise that Rampage was very easy to control. If played with this 2 balls together, sure to get loads of high games. For those considering this ball, don't worry, highly recommended! Sure to raise your average! Sure that you will like it! Sure you won't regret it! Brunswick created another winner!~

Drilled pin straight out from ring finger.  Weight hole.

My typical house shot is medium and for while there's oil this ball is wonderful.  Very forgiving with hardly any over/under reactions (again as long as there's some oil).  I carry a 201 average at my home field.  My first game with this ball Tuesday was 265.  After that the lanes were dried up and I had to put it up.  Hated it because it was fun to roll.

I'm a medium speed with medium revs.  The ball is very readable and has a nice, but strong, arc.  It's also easy to tell when it's time to put it up....I like that "built in" feature.

I did test throw it a week ago after league and there was alot of carry down.  The Fury handled it fairly well.  Can't wait to get it on an oilier patter.  I don't miss my Mean Machine (died out after 2 months) one bit.

I got mines.......better get yo's!
