- Description: Coverstock: CFT 2.5 The chemistry was uniquely designed to have shaped molecular structures that produce a high coefficient of friction. Because of the shape of the molecule, when the ball goes into rolling friction, which occurs at the back part of the lane, slippage is eliminated and the ball will give you maximum entry and carry. Core: I-Block - The new I-Block core was engineered specifically for the CFT 2.5 coverstock to create maximum forgiveness, strong angles along with versatile drilling layouts. Ball Motion: With its 4000-grit micro pad finish, the C-(System) 2.5 will provide good length with a strong continuous backend reaction that matches up on medium to oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles. Reaction Setup: The C-(System) 2.5 can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for asymmetric bowling balls. After more than 18 months of research, development, and extensive lab and field tests, Brunswick is proud to introduce the new C-(System) 2.5 bowling ball, developed in close collaboration with Hall of Fame bowler Carmen Salvino. In addition to being a legendary bowler, Salvino conducts scientific research and holds multiple patents related to bowling ball design. This new line of performance bowling balls features Chemical Friction Technology (CFT). As Salvino explains, "The coverstock was chemically designed to have shaped molecular structures that produce a high coefficient of friction. Because of the shape of the molecule, when the ball goes into rolling friction, which occurs at the back part of the lane, slippage is eliminated and the ball will give you the maximum entry and carry. This is the advantage of chemical friction versus mechanical friction." "The chemistry is versatile enough that even if sanded or polished, it will not change the shape of the molecule. That is the uniqueness of this chemistry." The Chemical Friction Technology in the new C-(System) 2.5 is a difference you can feel!

Layout:
Pin 5†from PAP below fingers
45-degree locator line angle
(Dual-angle: 45 by 5†by 70)
XH on VAL, 2†below PAP, 7/8†by 2†deep
Initial Surface Preparation:
Box finish
Purpose:
To bridge the gap between the Wild Ride/Wild Thing and the “Snake†balls. More specifically, to get recovery from the friction on conditions where the Wilds are burning up, but where there isn’t quite enough dry for the Rattler and Python to make the turn in back.
Why this ball?
The intent of the CFG 2.5 coverstock that is used on the C-(System) 2.5 is to provide a stronger reaction to friction than what is currently available in the Brunswick line. When combined with a moderately strong asymmetric core, it seemed to me that the C-(S) could give me the reaction shape that I was seeking.
Observations:
The first time I used the C-(System) 2.5 was at a center with five-year-old Pro Anvilanes, on a pair of lanes that had been used for a qualifying squad for an ABT tournament. I warmed up with the Rattler, and as long as I didn’t get the ball too wide of target, I had a good look at the pocket. I then switched to the C-(S), and found my best look from eight-and-four left of where I had started. From there, the C-(S) was creating some hold for me, while still recovering nicely from the house track.
I’ve used the C-(System) at the same center in a second-shift league. Typically, I don’t like to use pin-down equipment in this league, for while there is plenty of free hook to the outside, the condition tends to favor a more direct trajectory to the pocket. The C-(S) has been clean enough through the front part of the lane to allow me to play the lanes in this fashion, though, while still having enough strength in the back part of the lane to give me a good carry angle.
I’ve also used this ball several times at a center with HPL in front and older wood in back, on a fresh condition with fairly high volume in front and clean back ends. On this condition, the C-(System) was really at home, as I could get my feet left and align myself to the dry boards, and not have to worry about whether the ball would recover. Even on shots where I missed right, the C-(S) retained well enough to finish strong and carry the corners.
Conclusions:
Usually, when I have a ball that is strong off of friction, it doesn’t do so well at riding an oil line, and vice versa. The C-(System) 2.5 gives me the best of both worlds, and in addition, it has that strong look through the pin deck that the Wilds and the Python have. In addition, this ball seems to get better and better as I go deeper on the lane I’ve yet to encounter an inside limitation with the C-(S).
The C-(S) doesn’t seem to break the lane down quite as quickly as balls such as the Radical Inferno and Wild Ride have for me, and the C-(S) doesn’t read transition quite as abruptly.
While I had originally viewed the C-(System) 2.5 as a ball to take me from the Wilds to the Snakes, I’m finding that, on conditions with enough friction to allow me to give away the pocket, I can stay with the C-(S) and keep following the transition deeper inside.

I bowl on a fresh house pattern on harder synthetics, as well as a second shift league. This ball has been great on both, but it seems to get better as the back ends start to transition and other pearls want to "skate" if they hit carry-down.
Overall ball motion is nice, but HOW the ball reads the lane is unique in my opinion. This ball doesn't know the meaning of deflection through the pin deck. It simply provides a strong move late on the lane without being unpredictable. This ball has given me the confidence to open up the lane more and more as the night goes on with EXCEPTIONAL pin carry.
Brunswick and Mr. Salvino are onto something special with this release.
Please feel free to message me in this site if I can answer any specific questions for you.

I found the CS to be a great ball with great carry. I was trying various angles thorugh the front part of the lane and all of them recovered nicely and went through the pins even better. I have found a great little combo with another Siege drilled a little smoother then going to the CS and then to the WT as the Wild does have a little more off the spot as long as I get the surface right. Out of box surface on the CS and WT shows the WT with a tad more down lane. I prefer my WT at 2000.
This will be agreat ball for people needing a benchmark ball.

This ball has been fantastic for me! While the ball comes pearlized, I have found that it works best with some measure of head oil to help it retain energy for the back end.
The ball picks up in the midlane very consistently and finishes strong through the pocket. My rev rate is in the 285-315 range so I seldom see a ball really peel off of the spot when higher volumes of oil are used but the C System has given me a larger window on those conditons. As the shot migrates in I have been able to stay with this ball far deeper than I had expected. A hand position change and a little faith into the dry and the ball shreds the rack.
If you haven't tried the latest generations of Brunswick bowling balls you have left a hole in your bag. The new coverstocks create more of the sexy snap people are looking for but still have the legendary Brunswick durability. Game 1 and game 101 the ball will cure what ails you!

Bowler stats:
325 rpm
18.5mph
Conditions:
39’ THS
PBA Scorpion (both on Pro Anvil)
I used a similar layout to what was on my Siege because I was looking for this ball to complement the Siege when it started to have trouble cornering at the end of the pattern.
Let me say this up front, I have never, and I mean NEVER, seen a ball that drives through the pins like this ball does. It was on the 30th board on several occasions as it left the pin deck after a flush hit. Nothing I’ve ever thrown or anything that I’ve seen other people throw hit like this ball does. Period.
I knew this ball would be too much on my THS but I had to test it out on it anyway just for fun. On fresh I laid the ball down on 25 and sent it out to around 6 at the breakpoint. The midlane was very strong, as was the recovery. As long as the ball was between 10 and 3 at the breakpoint, it got back to the pocket. However, between the characteristics of my center and the THS we put out, outside angles always score better compared to playing deeper, so I had an even better look amping up my speed and playing 15 (laydown) to 7(breakpoint). But it still wanted more oil…
On the scorpion, the ball was more at home due to the increased length and units of the pattern. I started out using my Siege with a very similar drill with a laydown of 14 out to 10. When I threw the C-S in practice, I was 2 boards further inside due to more response at the end of the pattern. During transition, my Siege saw a little carrydown and started to deflect through the pins. I switched to my C-S and stayed with the same line in practice that I had found. I couldn’t tell the carrydown was even there!
If you are looking for a ball for longer patterns and higher volumes that isn’t sensitive to carrydown, then the C-System is for you. In talking with Chris Loschetter last week, he said that its ability to handle the carrydown seen on tour is why it is in the bags of so many of the free agents (including him). If this ball isn’t in your bag, you’re missing out on a great product.

Pin above the fingers
No hole
2000 Abralon(haus)
I have been using this ball for a while, changing surfaces to experiment with the new coverstock. I am confident now that the 2000 finish suits my game the best. The 4000/4000 polish gave me too much skid/flip, and 1000 was way too aggressive.
The ball gets through the pins better with the surface adjustment. Don't be scared to tweak it if you think yours is not hitting hard enough. You do need some head oil. I've bowled in a few older houses with beat up synthetic lanes and the C System reads that extra friction too much.
It's a good benchmark ball to start your block with.

I brought it down to 2000 abralon to tame the brake point down a little. I really love it at this surface. Just as clean in the front and a little more tame on the back. The boys over at Big B have really hit a few home runs lately. Keep them coming!

Post by: pin-chaser on November 10, 2009, 08:56:46 AM
(my specs are in my profile)
Drilled this ball 5"x10degreesx5" which placed the pin below my ring finger.
I was looking for a ball that read the midlanes and still had something on the back end. My release mistakes are always to stay behind the ball and loose axis rotation which ultimately produces plaque 10's. So finding a ball that will let me get away with even some of these would be a benifit.
What I recieved was this and more. When I release this ball correctly the ball goes through the pins like nothing else I have thrown... it produce more entry angle and my ball actually hits the 8 pin sometimes. Thats a far cry from a strike where the ball goes staright through the pin deck entering on 17.5 and off the tail plank at 17.5. Sure I leave some 9's (LOL) but they are easier than 10's and alot more fun.
As for the issue with my relases, this ball somehow does not deflect as much in the pocket despite the ball rolling end over end into the pins. Some of the plaque 10's are gone. I think there might be something to this Salvino technology.

Ball Specs
The ball being drilled was a 3†pin out with 3.00 oz top weight.
Drilling: Pin 4" from PAP and Mb 45 degrees from PAP, 70 degrees V.A.L. Line DUAL ANGLE. Pin is below ring finger. Weight Hole 1" below midline. Factory Sanded 4000.
Bowler Information:
Track diameter is 11 5/8.
PAP is measured at 4 11/16 over and 11/16 up.
Average ball speed (foul line to head pin) is 13 mph.
Axis rotation is typically 90 degrees
Initial rev rate is typically 200 rpm, "Tweener"
Lane Condition and Pattern:
New Berlin Bowl HPL 9000 Panel. Oil Pattern: THS condition medium oil outsides, heavier oil inside, semi clean backends.
Review:
While I am out recovering from Hip replacement surgery, I am having my daughter Ashley test this ball for me. 180 Average 17 year old with medium to slow speed and a low spinner type track.
In one word "WOW". What a ball. It is her start with ball, her most confident ball in the bag. Numerous houses and different lines with this ball and the ball adjust beautifully to all of them. Gets through the fronts so clean, reacts so well on the back end part of the lane, reads the carry down very well. I am the most impressed with the cross alley spares, the ball does not over squirt going towards 4-7's and 6-10's. All styles will like this ball. I have not experimented with different surfaces with this ball due to how good the reaction is out of the box with this ball.
Bottom line, Mr. Salivno/Brunswick you have something very special with this ball. Actually has a better look on the lane then Storm's Virtual Gravity. More predictable but just as strong. Brunswick has really done their homework with this ball. This is one of those balls everyone has to try. Looking forward to future CS models.
Thanks for reading my review.

First 2 weeks I tried to play deep and swing the ball, and had limited success,(nothing really bad, just nothing really good either). 6th set with this ball on a synthetic surface, I played this ball a little straighter (feet at 38, putting the ball around 13 at the arrows, and wow!!!! Threw 276,241,267, 784 set.
This ball has the most drive out of any ball I have ever thrown. Once it hits the dry and turns, it just drives through the pins with little or no deflection at all. I would definitely recommend this ball to anyone who is looking for great carry.
Post by: Rick Langton on November 26, 2009, 04:42:25 PM
CG: 1 in from centerline
MB: 1 1/2 in to right of thumb.
X-hole: On VAL 3 1/2 ins down from PAP
Cover: Out of Box.
This ball has a motion that has been missing from brunswick's line. The cover/core allows the ball to push 1 to 2 feet futher than what you would expcet and the ball does not lose recovery at all. The recovery from the cover down the lane and to the right is a great aspect of this ball. Even with such a strong core, stronger layouts will not create a problem.
Strength: Cover, Cover and Cover.
Weakness: If I find one I will let everyone know.
I have used this ball on the PBA's Scorpion pattern on a surface that was harder than pro anvil. I was able to use the ball inside and out side. For me Scorpion can some times be difficult for my style when it comes to down the lane and to the right. This ball allows me a few extra boards to the right and angle error.
On the Kegal short pattern the Boardwalk I have room to the inside, that extra push from the cover/core allows me 4 to 5 board area on this pattern.

After using my new Python for a couple of months and loving it, I finally got around to drilling up the C-system.
I drilled it 45 X 5 X 30 which put the pin above the ring finger about an inch and the MB about 2" left of my thumb (left handed). Weight hole 1" above my PAP and not into core. Another great piece from Brunswick. I can get in a bit more to the right with my feet and open up my launch angles with this ball as opposed to my Python which prefers a little straighter attack on the lanes. The recovery down lane with the C-system is impressive.
I will post more as I get to roll it on a few different patterns.

I drilled this one for fresh patterns and to be a little smoother. This is exactly what I got. I have thrown it on Shark and THS. Even being smoother, it still goes through the pins fantastic. When I see the back ends scorching, I will throw this.
This ball fits great in between the Seige and Wild Thing. For me it is very comparable to the Wild Card but with more pop downlane. If you don't believe me, drill one you won't be disappointed. It is a great ball.

Ball one: Drilled 45x5 1/2x25 Pin Up. On our THS this ball is really clean through the fronts and makes a strong move on the back. Of course for me on THS I can throw it on the fresh for all 3 games. This ball works perfect through the carry down stages on the lane. I am serious when I say this, this ball motion is something I have never seen before from a brunswick ball. It never reads the midlane too early. It retains energy like no other. The way the ball goes through the pins is crazy. So far I have already shot 300 with this one.
Ball two: 90x5x55 Pin down. This ball responds to the oil a little bit quicker so I can play deeper with this ball than the pin up one. But for me no only does it respond quicker to the oil it also responds a little quicker to the friction. This ball will be better suited for the fresh on the shorter patterns, and the burn on longer patterns. Brunswick has one of the most complete lines I have ever seen. Go out and get a C System 2.5 YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. Bowl Brunswick!!!

400 RPM
16.5 MPH at the pins
PAP 4 5/8 x 1/8
Ball: C-System 2.5
Layout: 35° x 4-¼ in x 30° X-hole is Gradient Line P3
Initial Surface Preparation: 1000 Siaair
Observations:
Easy through the fronts with good mid lane read. Handles carry down like nothing I’ve ever used, nearly eliminating that transition. You don’t get the over/under you get from many other balls when this ball goes from wet to dry. What you do get is a very forgiving, smooth transition, that carries from almost any angle.
Conclusions:
I didn’t practice with this ball at all before stepping into league and the second game I bowled a 300. Forgiving, smooth and powerful are the words I use to describe this reaction. This is a major step in technology and I recommend you take a look at what Brunswick is doing!
Video of me rolling this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRoNFcU2YzU
As with any ball, proper matching of the bowler, ball, layout and coverstock are crucial to success. Make sure you find a well educated pro shop technician to drill your next ball and your scores will increase immediately.

As in a couple other of my reviews, I drilled this for some of the tournaments I bowled the last few weeks. Various Patterns used on.
Layout
5 inch pin, MB @ 55 degrees.
First few shots I threw with this ball I was impressed by how it went through the pins and kept everything pretty low. Wasn't over aggressive off the dry, just had a great motion overall. Found myself using this ball some on the fresh and some on the burnt due to it being enough hook overall but not to much to get myself in trouble. Again yet another great product from Brunswick. Keep up the good work guys!!

Axis Rotation: 45°
Ball Layout: 50x6x65
After watching the video on the C System 2.5, I couldn’t wait to drill the ball. I was not disappointed at all. I drilled the ball and threw it that night in league for games 2 and 3. I shot 257 and 300 with it. Since then I have thrown a second 300 with it. The ball gets down the lane very clean and makes a strong turn when it encounters friction. The highly adjustable CFT coverstock allows this ball to match up on several patterns and bowler styles. This is a must have ball for any bowler.

This is one of the strongest pearls that I have ever thrown! I get decent length through the heads out of the C System 2.5, a very strong midlane and continuation in the backends. This is a ball which I found to be most effective with a little polish during transition as this ball will still charge through some unexpected carrydown. Its strength at the breakpoint definitely desires more sideways angles and I have really liked it on the Scorpion pattern, although it has the chops to allow me to move deep and swing it on burnt up longer house patterns.
My biggest concern with this ball is that it does need sufficient oil in the first half of the lane so that it pushes far enough before it makes its strong move to the left. I enjoy having this ball in my arsenal - its strong read of the midlane is great midblock as you migrate towards the centre of the lane. I find that with this ball I require larger moves to the left than usual but by the same token it allows me to open up the lane more than any of my other equipment.

My PAP is 5 3/8" over and 7/8" up Dual Angle Drilling Layout - 45 Deg x 5" x 70 Deg which puts the pin below my ring finger and no weight hole
I wanted a ball that would start up sooner on heavier oil shots and continue through the pins. What I got was a ball that has smooth arc and doesn't overreact when reaching the friction. This ball clears the heads and gets into a roll nicely. The CFT 2.5 coverstock is just strong enough to grab at the friction point and continue through the pins. I am very pleased with this ball and is a great addition to the Brunswick line. I have used this ball on multiple lane surfaces and it is a great reacting ball.

Righty, cranker, inverted track
Revs about 400
MPH is about 18-19
PAP 4 1/2 to the right and 1/2 down
Layout info:
Pin under bridge, cg is kicked right down by the thumb, mass bass is 55 degrees. No hole.
For me this really starting to be my benchmark ball. Typically pearls don't give me a really good read, due to my speed. What I am seeing from this ball, is good length, not having to force it. Smooth mid-lane movement, and continuation through the pins, with a solid hit. To me this ball does exactly what you put into it. Once again this is what a benchmark ball does. Gives you multiple looks on a variety of shots.
White pattern- The beginning of our season we started, this pattern was very tight, I am suspecting that they cut back on the length of it in recent weeks. Seems to be opening up a lot sooner then it had been, being a little more forgiving. As of late this ball started to shine due to the shorter length they have been using. Typically I have been playing 15 to 5, and been able to sit almost in the same spot all night. I have been lucky due to this ball, being inside of the straight players, and outside of the power guys. So typically my shot holds up longer then most.
I am surprised that more people haven't used this ball. From the ones I have seen out there, they roll really well and perform excellent. Brunswick has really started to get there act straight. They really never matched up too well with my game in the past but this is changing. Before I knew it Brunswick as taken over my bags. I certainly hope that they keep things up, because they are making some great pieces.
Also like to thank Brunswick for my last 300(11-12-10) Just wish I was smart enough to see that the transition was creeping up on me, so I could have gotten the 800. Thank you Big B, and Brusnick for your input and equipment.

This is my first Brunswick ball since the BVP Punisher, so it's been a while.
Positives: Very strong movement off the backend, stronger than I thought overall, hitting power and continuation through the pins is great, decent pin action.
Negatives: Struggles with carrydown, but it is a pearl, can be a little inconsistant off the spot.
Overall: A nice piece that fits in my arsenal very well, honestly it's not the first ball out of my bag, but I'm sure glad I have it, because when the conditions are right and it's called upon, it performs well.

Bowler:
Mdedium High rev rate. 15-16 MPH
Condition:
House shot
This ball was clean through the heads with great mid lane and back end reaction. Not as skid flippy as most balls in its hook range with great drive through the pins. First four shots with this ball I almost left 3 - 7 9 splits. No deflection in the pin deck. Shot 796 with a 271 in the first week of having this ball. (271 i dropped it in the 6th frame and took out the 10 pin)
