Coverstock:
High Octane Coverstock is Brunswick’s latest development in Solid Color Coverstock Technology. The Ultimate & Scorchin’ Inferno® balls were the humble predecessors to the new performance standard of FURY.More aggressive than Activator® or ActivatorMAX, High Octane coverstock provides more traction in the oil and is better able to handle the combination of hard synthetic lane surfaces and the carrydown created by today’s high-tech lane oils. Fury is the highest hook potential non-particle ball Brunswick has ever produced and is our best ever combination of high hook potential, great mid-lane recovery combined with strong and continuous back-end reaction.
Core:
The Torsion core is a new core shape concept that involves applying a computerized torsion or twisting process to high-tech shapes. Brunswick testing has shown that the Torsion core should quickly become known for its high hook potential, easy revving and powerful, but controllable breakpoints. The first Torsion core is a symmetric version that requires no unique drilling techniques. Brunswick has twisted the core on the inside of the ball so you can twist it up more on the lanes. It started with a Fuze®, turned into an Inferno and now comes the Fury......Feel the FURY.
Reaction Characteristics
•Out of the Box: The FURY continues the Brunswick tradition of controlling the mid-lane to create maximum forgiveness and versatility. With its 800-grit wet sand surface, the FURY matches up well on most medium to oily house conditions.
•When dulled: The hooking action will increase and its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane conditions and for smoothing over/under reactions seen on wet/dry lane conditions.
•When shined: With either Brunswick’s Factory Finish “High Gloss Polish†or “Rough Buffâ€, your FURY will go longer in the oil and react stronger to the dry creating a more skid/snap arc. High Gloss Polish creates more length than Rough Buff.

The cover on mine came a little too coarse for me, so I smoothed it out with 1000 abralon on the spinner. My pin is basically above the ring finger and the CG kicked out slightly.
I've thrown Brunswick balls exclusively for the past two years and always compared everything against the Strike Zone, which for me has been a real monster. There is a new standard now...
Took orders for three of them tonight after others saw it roll. Great work Brunswick. This one was worth the wait.

The ball is a truck .. almost too strong. I could only use it for a game and to be honest, I was forcing it then.
I have never seen a dull ball clear the heads like it does. It has a huge backend move that makes me look like Tommy Jones.
The Scorchin' Inferno is a joke compared to this thing. If you have the Total, the shot shape is the same, but 5-7 boards stronger.
The video on the Brunswick website is a VERY good representation of what can be expected out of this ball.
I do not think that a lot of bowlers will be able to to use this in box condition.
I will continue to mess with it and post a more educated review in the next few weeks.

We used pattern 1 and leaving it in box finish, used it for first three games, +15, then had to switch for New North Lanes notorious transition on 22' guardian.
The Fury is all that it advertised. Cleared heads, B+, mid lane, B+, back end B+, for now I will leave it box finish because I will encounter longer/heavier conditions, but it reminds me a lot of the old V2 sanded, and that was a must in every bag. The Fury is a must in every bag too.

This ball obviously created quite a buzz because it's Brunswick's first ball in a new line and with a new core design. After having seen it in action I can safely say that it does come as advertised - it hooks.
The shell is nicely versatile and not only that but it is actually useable in either a dull or polished condition. As someone mentioned earlier, this ball does seem to get through the fronts without much force which was somewhat surprising given it's overall strength. We did find that the ball overall was more predictable and sure-footed through the back end in a dull, smooth finish. We used 800, 1200 and 1500 grits on three different balls and had more success overall than we did with the ball we sanded to 1500 and polished with Black Magic.
After we polished the Fury, it me of the Quantum Leap for some reason. I think it's because the ball has such a large differential and will flare as much anything we've seen in some time. There is such a thing as too much differential for some players and this ball might just be too much for some of the heavier handed or those with slower speeds.
I would recommend the Fury for anyone who is looking for something to top out their arsenal at the top of the hook scale. It's a very nice rolling ball with sometimes spectacular carry. I don't often mention "flare separation" but in this ball, you will get much wider flare separation on a given 5 1/2" pin to pap, pin over the fingers type layout. You might want to consider keeping the pin a tad lower or just on a line from the pap to the ring finger.
It's a winner and worth the cash for sure. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us at: proshop@bowlero.com

THIS BALL IS SUPER STRONG BUT YET VERY PREDICTABLE ON EVERY ASPECT OF THE LANE, MOST IMPRESSED WITH PIN CARRY BALL SEEMS TO CARRY PINS VERY WELL FROM ALL ANGLES I HAVE TRIED TO PLAY. ONLY THING I WANT TO DO IS GET ANOTHER ONE AND PLACE THE PIN OVER FINGERS AND POLISH IT UP SO I CAN HAVE ONE OF THESE IN MY HANDS LONGER DURING TOURNAMENT PLAY.

My ball came 16.1 lbs, 3.6 oz, 2 1/4" pin. I am a tweener with med speed and med revs. My preferred line (A game) would be close to 15 at the arrows to around 8 or so.
After taking the rest of my arsenal into consideration, my driller and I concluded that we should drill this ball strong. I don't have anything that can successfully handle the "slop" that my bowling center places in the middle of the lane. I have been forced outside all year, which is not my "A" game.
The result of the drilling was a pin x PAP of about 3 1/2 and a cg x PAP slightly further. Pin just right of ring finger. It is close to stacked. Required a weight hole as it was almost 1/2 oz illegal.
We angled the weight hole to help get the ball down the lane better. Unfortunately the place I get my equipment drilled has wood lanes while I regularly bowl on synthetics. This ball reacts completely differently for me on the two. I had trouble getting the ball to skid on the wood lanes, even though there was some head oil. Because of this, we decided to Rough Buff it. It reacted much better at the time. VERY strong off the break, not snappy, but strong.
I then proceeded to bowl a few games at my home center the next day. I found that the ball went a little too long for me and reminded me too much of my Vapor. So I went back and had him take it back to 800. That did the trick. I will say that the number of boards it covers is close to that of my Vapor on house conditions, but with a different shape. However, in heavier oil this ball starts revving up and will make the turn whereas my Vapor has a little hesitation. I will also say that for me, the ball is not a hook monster. What makes it great is the hit and carry. I have never had a ball in my hands that carries like this one. It seems to have a deep hatred for the AMFlite II's that my center uses.
I do not typically post scores, but I threw 266 first league game on a line that I have not been able to play all year (in the first game anyhow) before putting it away late-second game after trying to force it for a few frames. My one big gaffe was a 2-8-10, that I ended up converting, not sure if it was from the awesome power of this ball or just a sign from God. Of course the lanes broke down much quicker this week than they normally do, so I went to my Vapor and was able to carry better as the track broke down.
This ball will not change your life or help you score better with the opposite sex, but it may help your confidence and possibly make those around you green with "NV" (ha).

PAP - 5 3/4 over 5/8 up
Just received my fury a couple weeks ago, Honestly I did not like it all that much with box finish. I bowl on Wood lanes with Guardian and Synthetics another night. Both places I had early hook and not a whole lot a back end at all.
Threw some polish on it and my god, this is a different ball. Clears the heads and makes a very very strong move off the dry..
This will be in my bag for the upcoming regional season.

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!!!

drilled mine pin down 4 3/4 from pap. don't have alot of games on this ball but it's because it doesn't match up at all for me. with box finish ball is too strong early with no back end or too much back end if longer pattern..polished it goes way too long with not alot of recover..lots of tenpins with this ball. compared to a newer ball on the market my total nv this ball is about 10 boards weeker for me....very disapointed with this because i really like the total inferno..this actually hooks less then my total. i have used it on 41 foot ths synthetics. pba viper pattern a reverse block, and the 2005 us open pattern..this ball not for me
Post by: Corey C on March 11, 2007, 06:24:29 PM
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.

The lanes I bowl on are Brunswick synthetics with heavy oil. We are the 1st league of the night so we get the fresh oil.
I was not thrilled with this ball and I think I wasted 200 bucks. I have never left more solid 10's and 7's in all my life of bowling. Shot after shot was hitting the pocket but NO carry. I moved my feet, moved the ball all around for different angle and nothing but 10 after 10. The ball did move real nice in the oil, but went longer than I thought it would. It was in OOB condition. The other balls that I use are Columbia action, Ebonite Big Time, Hammer Vicious Strike << my favorite. All of these balls hit harder than the fury. I also have two 300 games one with the vicious strike and one with the action. I'll adjust the surface with a scrotch brite pad and use it again next week. As for my scores 194, 190, 178...if I could have stuck everytime I left a 10 or a 7 I would have been in the 740's.
Post by: 300bowlNY on March 17, 2007, 09:14:25 AM
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.

COMMENTS
Carry - Explodes on pocket hits, light carry makes (pins dance), high pockets sometimes leave the 4-7 combo
Likes - Ball reads the lane conditions, as long as you keep the same release and hit your mark. The ball seems to like CLEAN backends otherwise you need to play more of a straight down and in on OIL conditions.
Dislikes - Heavy oil and DRY boards, seem to make this ball over/under react. Oil W/carrydown conditions make this ball go really long and steady arc 5'-8' from PINs. Dry you need to give it some room.
Conclusion - First game (high Polished) was on Wood lanes dry fronts and carrydown, shot 173. Then dulled it up alittle shot 3 game set on League, synthetics. Started out 12 board swing to 8, shot 211. I moved inside as the lanes started to dry up quick Now @ 15 swing to 10, shot 243. Last game lanes went totally dry fist two frames hung splits, moved to 25 to 20 w/nice and easy release. If you threw it too hard it would skid more, left two 10 PINS all night, OH! shot 208 last game. I would say this ball is ideal for synthetics. I'm gonna polish it High Gloss for starts next week and if needed buff it to make it aggressive. I believe that this balls success is due to not only the PROVEN Diamond CORE type design, but the coverstock technology for todays ever changing lane surface/oil viscosity type conditions. Coverstock is very adjustable.handmeDN

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!

ball was VERY smooth and carried everything I’ve moved that far inside with other
The FURY continues the Brunswick tradition of controlling the mid-lane to create maximum forgiveness and versatility. With its 800-grit wet sand surface,
The FURY matches up well on most conditions. Medium to oily
The weight block really enables the Fury to get through the front part of the lane and rev up in the mid lane with plenty of energy for the backend.
When shined the FURY will go longer in the oil and react stronger to the dry creating a more skid/snap arc.
High Gloss Polish creates more length than Rough Buff.
The finish is phenomenal and it is very, very consistent at the breakpoint. It crushes the pins and it craves the oil.
Post by: NateNice on March 24, 2007, 06:04:56 PM
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.

When this ball hits pocket, or Brooklyn... it washes out ALL the pins. Strike every time. Getting it to hit pocket consistantly... a challenge. If I throw the exact same shot after a strike, the ball sometimes reads the lanes different. This may be because there is too much read on the mid-lane. Pin is to the right of my ring finger.
Will try to wetsand down w/ 1200 abralon and see if getting more lane will help. Will follow up with a review shortly after.
By the way... with other balls, its easy to adjust to use for a spare. This ball being unpredictable... caused me a few chops. When using this ball, I'll stick with Polyester for spares.

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!

ball surface - 360 abralon wet sand
layout - pin at 4 1/4 from pap under ring finger, cg at 5 0'clock 2 inches below center grip line, with a weight hole 3 3/8 below pap to remove excess thumb weight
bowler type - cranker (rev rate between 450 and 500), ball speed 19-20 at release
ball reaction is very strong on the midlane with unbeatable continuous backend. i have thrown it on the pba patterns and house patterns and havent had it roll out yet. this ball is very forgiving on heavier oil patterns and recovers extremely well. as long as there is sufficient head oil you can count on this to perform.
Post by: Bigmike on April 01, 2007, 11:22:37 AM
Lay Out # 1: Pin 4.5" from PAP (slightly under ring finger), 75deg angle. Small wt hole 3.5" down on the VAL.
Lay Out # 2: Pin 5 " from PAP (over ring finger), 80 degree angle. Weight hole added 2" down my VAL to try to increase flare.
Surface: Lay Out # 1-1000abr. Lay Out # 2-box, then 1000, then 2000, then 4000.
Purpose: To give myself a arsenal ball that I could use on longer oil/higher volume patterns.
Observations: I have thrown this ball on THS and a couple of tournament conditions one being flat and long and another the downloaded USBC Nationals pattern. On the THS, I have to keep this in the puddle as long as possible because the ball will burn too early and leave flat tens or overhook and go high. On the flatter pattern, the Fury gave me a lot of over/under. On the USBC pattern, the ball did not hook enough to use. My Total Inferno was a much better look.
Final thoughts: I am thinking the motor (core) in this ball is not as strong as some of the Ebonite "One" motors and the ball did not seem as continous as past Brunswick "oilers" have been like the Ultimate and Strike Zone were. I am a tweener and did not want to lay this out any stronger than I did for fear of having a ball that would be uncontrollable on too many shots. The tires (cover) seem to be good, but the core is not a good match for me. I would think that wrapping this coverstock around a stronger motor like the assymetric zone cores or the rumored "phantom" core, would make for a huge seller and a more usuable ball for the tweeners. As it is, the boomers and the straighties will love this ball. The boomers will be able to drill it strong and not have it overhook and the straighties will be able to take the shell down to 360-500 abralon and use it on floods. It was just not a good fit for me and what I needed in my bag at his time.
After thoughts: I drilled a second Fury because I thought maybe I could change some things in my lay out and thinking of how to use this ball. My thought was since the motion is not very strong off the friction, that I would tweak my lay out and surface and use this on more medium/medium oil conditions when the back ends are fresh and the ball would need to be smoother in the back ends. I tried this on a couple of the PBA patterns that were more in the medium/shorter distance and the ball just still did not perform as well as other balls in my bag. I just didn't find anything that jumped out to merit keeping either so they were sold.

got this ball about a month ago and got first 200 with it. had to throw it over the 7 or 9 board to get a pocket shot. usually it goes brooklyn and i get the strike that way with this ball i get a 165 average compared to a plastic ball average of 101. its a big change. def a primary ball if ur lookin 4 that ball with a excellent hook. also good for a straight ball 2. haven't change surface of ball in a while. bout 2 shine it for more hook.

I picked up a NIB Fury weighing 14lb 15oz, with 2.5 top and a 4-5" pin. Before I drilled this ball, I smoothed the aggressive box finish ending at 2000 grit abralon. I layed the ball out with the pin 5" from my PAP (above and between my fingers) and the cg right of the grip center, approximately 4.5" from my PAP. Initially, I threw the ball without a weight hole.
Fresh league shot, 37' medium oil pattern on AMF HPL synthetics. On this shot, the ball cleared the heads surprisingly well. As a matter of fact, the ball had much more length than I expected for such a strong coverstock. When the ball would reach the dry backends/outside, it would make a strong "flip" towards the pocket. Although very strong, the backend was still controllable. I had to keep chasing the oil inside as the night progressed. If I stayed in one spot too long, the ball wouldn't overreact, but I would just leave a flat 10 pin. A 2 & 1 adjustment inside and I was back to carrying. Light hits would mix, flush shots would push everything back... the only time I didn't carry was when I tugged one inside (in which case it would run high...just not enough hold oil in the middle for this ball) or when I forgot to "pro-actively" move inside after a few frames. I started the night standing 20, throwing 12 at the arrows out to around 5 board. But the end of the night, I was standing 35 throwing 15-16 at the arrows out to around 8-9. Great reaction and carry all night. Never really seemed to notice any sort of carry down, which is typically an issue at this house. However, I bought the ball for heavier oil patterns and not my local medium oil house shot.
The following week I had an opportunity to sub at another house which typically puts out a much higher volume, longer shot. Lanes are quite old and wood. Starting out, the Fury seemed to go a touch long for me. Still a very strong "controlled-flip" on the backend, but I had to be careful with my speed to prevent from throwing it through the breakpoint. Here I was playing straight up the boards, around 7 at the arrows. After warm-ups and the first couple frames, the track area began to open up and I was able to bump inside and bounce it off the dry. Again, no signs of carry-down being an issue. Easy length and very strong backend reaction.
I decided to put a weight hole in the ball to increase the flare with the hopes of getting the ball to start up a touch sooner, taming down the backend a little, and covering a couple more boards in the oil. I mapped out my PAP and went down the VAL 3 3/8". I put a 1" hole 3" deep (ended up being just below my thumb hole). I cleaned the surface of the ball up, lightly hitting it with a 2000 grit abralon pad again and headed for the lanes.
The weight hole tweaked the reaction just as I had hoped. The Fury now started up a little sooner and overall was about 2 boards stronger. I would consider the backend now to be a hard arc. With the 2000 grit abralon surface, the ball seems to cover medium to medium-heavy conditions best. The ball currently fits underneath my strike zone drilled RICO and finished at 500 abralon. When the strike zone starts to burn up a little, I can pull out the Fury and play almost an identical line, but with a totally different look on the lane. The SZ starts up very early and has a smooth backend and the Fury gets down the lane easier with a stronger, more angular backend. For right now, I'm going to keep the surface of the Fury at 2000 grit as it seems to work quite well, but once I find something to fit underneath the Fury (possibly a total inferno with the appropriate surface) or something to be released in the near future, I may adjust the Fury coverstock to 1000 grit. I expect this will allow the ball to truly be at home on some of the heavier patterns I run into. Overall, one of the better balls I have thrown in a while.

ball was VERY smooth and carried everything I’ve moved that far inside with other
The FURY continues the Brunswick tradition of controlling the mid-lane to create maximum forgiveness and versatility. With its 800-grit wet sand surface,
The FURY matches up well on most conditions. Medium to oily
The weight block really enables the Fury to get through the front part of the lane and rev up in the mid lane with plenty of energy for the backend.
When shined the FURY will go longer in the oil and react stronger to the dry creating a more skid/snap arc.
High Gloss Polish creates more length than Rough Buff.
The finish is phenomenal and it is very, very consistent at the breakpoint. It crushes the pins and it craves the oil.

Pin-out-----3in.
Top wgt-----3.2 oz
Surface-----1st O.O.B.---2nd 1000grit with heavy finesse it
Drill-------5 X 3 1/2, Pin below middle finger with a small flare reduction hole inside of V.A.L. on midline
Shot used on-- Medium T.H.S., oiled 30ft and buffed to 40ft
Bowler--Slower speed ( 14-15mph ), rev-dominant game. Not much side turn ( 30 degree axis rotation ), not much tilt (15 degrees)
In its box finish, this was one strong ball for me. Not really unpredictable, just a very midlane type, very strong rolling on the backend type ball. As long as I played inside far enough to find oil, it would work, but I ended up lofting the guttercaps, and I don't really want to do that on a regular basis, so I took it to the shop for a finer surface and a shine job. With the O.O.B. finish, it would just start trying to read the lanes too early for me unless I was WAY deep.
After a trip to the shop and some polish, this ball is MUCH better for what I am going to be using it on. Not much tournament bowling anymore, mostly leagues at home. The Octane cover clears the heads really cleanly with the shiny surface, but still starts to rev up nicely in the midlane, and still gives me that nice, really hard arc/flip reaction that it did even with the duller, factory surface. A bit flippier now, but still nice.
This seems to be a versatile ball. Sort of reminds me of how the original Danger Zone acted way back when they were first out. Pretty simple to drill, very "readable" type movement, and a strong, yet predictable movement on the backends, only you get this on todays oils and patterns.
The only drawback that I had, and this may be just a by product of the way I have it drilled, the polish, and my release, but it seems to carry much better for me if I give it a little "room to work" so to speak. If I played a tight line, the carry seemed to go down a bit, but as long as I could swing it a few boards, the carry was awesome.

just got a fury and threw it for the first time, so i thought i'd post an early review. the ball is 15 lb 3 oz top 1-2 in pin. after some discussion with my ball driller, we decided to go with a rico layout (pin down, hole down), however with only 3 oz top weight i didnt need a weight hole (though if i want to my back end look i could put one on my PAP). anyway, left the ball in OOB. I bowled at sea bowl, pacifica ca (rolled a 202-202-185, synth lanes) the lanes were med-heavy oil with dry outside 5. the pattern seemed tight as there wasnt a lot of back end on the lanes. i started playing bout 23/12-13 (board 23, over the 12-13 board). for the way i throw the ball, hi track, med revs, the ball has a nice even arc, but can be speed sensitive, though that could be operator error. after making an adjustment to the right, stood 17 throw over 7, the ball had a better read for me, also gave me the needed practice on this line as i don't play this line very often. last game i got hit with a high flush 4-9 split, and a 4-6-7 split, the ball did snap hard but it could be operator error again. overall the ball worked well for my game. i was told that to wait about 12 or so games for the ball to get broken in in order to get a more consistent reaction. i'll post another review later to give ya an update.

I was a bit reluctant to buy this ball, after reading some of the early reviews - Most seemed to suggest that the coverstock needed to be polished in order to control it. Out of the box, it's sanded at 800. I drilled it (Mine is 15 Lbs 6 Oz. with the pin out 3 1/4"), with the pin at 1:00, slightly less than an inch from my ring finger, stacked leverage, with the CG kicked out about an inch from the GC, no X hole. Before even throwing it, I wet sanded it to 600, as I've always done with my original Inferno, and my DZ Red Alert (Probably my favorite ball of all time), and - WOW! This ball acts just like my Red Alert used to before it accumulated too many games on it, and the coverstock (PowrKoil 18)had been wet sanded hundreds of times. On my typical league house conditions, I usually stand with my left foot 10-12 boards left of center, at the back row of dots. My approach is straight, so I slide on the same spot, and my target is usually the 13 board at the arrows, speed around 18 MPH, Not a real cranker, but not a "stroker" either - A "Tweener +" I suppose .... This ball does exactly what I was hoping for: VERY Forgiving - If I miss right, it comes screaming back off the outside dry - If I keep it inside, say at the 15 board (3rd arrow), it holds, and snaps hard in the back. Hits like a freight train, and never "rolls out" - Always gives me that ultimate angle of entry into the pocket, with about three boards of room for error at the arrows. Only thing that I can complain about is leaving 9 pins, and occasional 8 pins, but if you leave a ringing nine pin as a righty, you know you threw it TOO good! I've been using this ball since the end of September, and have never had to put it away - I just move left with my feet, and increase my speed as the lanes break down. Can't use it for ten pins, but that's what my plastic ball is for. I'm currently averaging 222, after finishing last season at 211 - I've had three 750+ triples with this ball, No 300s, but three 279s. This is the best ball I've used since the Red Alert when it was still fresh - I recommend it highly!

You will find other reviews of mine of the Fury. I no longer have the 5.75" pin Fury after I had to clean up the basement. I had a gap in my bag. I only had two solid balls a high pin Red Zone and a high pin polished Fury.
I have been bowling a lot of tournaments and there was something missing. Now I have the look I've been wanting. The Fury smooths out the dry and rolls in the oil. I like the predictability of a symmetrical core. This ball will be one of the first out of the bag on the fresh shots.
They're now a good buy if you need a new solid.

COMMENTS
Carry - Carry with this ball is very condition specific. I have tried this ball at higher grits, and with lower grits with polish, and found that at 800 grit I get the best carry with the most versatility. As long as the oil stays in the heads, this ball (with it's strong midlane roll) will dominate. As the oil begins to move, the carry starts to go away. As soon as you see a couple of flat corners, start to move immediately. This ball does carry well from inside with lower angles due to its strong midlane characteristic. Don't fall in love with swinging this ball to the moon, not because it will not make it back, but rather to stay away from the ball rolling up too quick and flat cornering you to death.
Likes - Very predictable roll, and this ball is one of those you can dub a "benchmark" ball in your arsenal. It gives you a very good read on what the condition will give you in the first few shots, a must have need for a tournament ball in your lineup. This ball is very strong in the midlane, and it allows you the ability to "open up" the lane by starting in deeper, and being able to create area. Of the shots I bowled on, this ball is very good on the Scorpion and a 42 ft. heavy blend THS.
Dislikes - The strong midlane read of this ball is also one of its detractors. When the heads start to go away, this ball needs to be put back in the bag. You can try and move in, but once the oil has been pushed down the lane, this ball still wants to try and roll up earlier, but fails to finish on the carrydown, causing flat corners. If you are not astute in your carry recognition, this ball can frustrate you to the tune of 10-12 corner pins in a three game set. You need to keep this ball in the bag on lighter oil house shots, like the 38 ft. THS I tried this ball on. Also, it is not the ball of choice on the Viper, as there is not as much of a heavy blend to move into, so this ball reads a bit too early for that shot.

15 lbs.
Pin Right/CG Under Ring
Original Box Finish
After about 1 year with this ball, I came to the conclusion that it is a decent ball. Very condition specific with my style of play (style of play listed in my signature). I have shot decent games with 200+ but there has been one problem with it, the BACK END! It's there but not enough. I have gone 5 frames straight in the past leaving weak 10's then switch balls and all 10 pins are in the pit. Again, decent ball but condition specific. The drilling I have is a basic drill. Enough push through the front and a good arc to the pins. Also, this ball eats oil so I have I'm taking trips to the proshop to get it all cleaned up.
To sum it up, decent ball. When the lanes are right, it's a beast. But the wrong ball to be versatile with.

ok, so I found this old ball in the Pro-shop. Bridge was cracked, sanding lines all over it. Redeeming factors:1" pin, under 1 oz top wt, serial# still deep. So I plugged it and resurfaced it. Drilled it with pin on axis and a 9" wt hole. Went 500/1000/2000/ rough Buff. First game: 230. This ball has 2" of flair with a big smooth arc starting at about 40'.It didn't die out either. I loved the consistant roll. I thought my pin under Maxx Zone was smooth on the back, but this Fury is silk. Axis weight drillings are usable in today's equiptment. Just make sure it's a symmetrical weight block. (works smoother)
This ball goes with me to tournements from now on.
Go "B", go Batman...
