Drilled this one with a 5x30 layout to give me a little more pop off the spot.
This fits nicely in between my Proof Solid and my Proof Pearl.
The Igniter Solid, is a little stronger than I thought it would be. It is designed for med to heavy volume patterns.
This will get a lot of use for me.
This will be best used on those medium to heavy patterns in the medium length. With a smoother drilling this could be utilized on shorter patterns too. Really cant beat the value of this performance for the price.

I shot 300 with this ball in league, right out of the box. This ball has that great “benchmark” ball look and feel and is the kind of ball that is not going to get you in trouble. It’s great for managing the pocket on the fresh or after the lanes have broken down a bit, you can either make your move or switch to the Igniter Pearl.

After throwing this ball a few times, what I really love about this ball is that I can get a great read on the lane with it. It’s not going to overreact or make me question how the lane is playing. It’s clean. It’s smooth. It’s a great addition to the Brunswick line and definitely fills that space for a benchmark ball in their lineup.

Speed: 17.9
RPM: 480
PAP: 5 7/8 RT x 2 1/4 DN
No-thumb, one league per week, tournaments when I can. Tremendous slouch.

Best value for solid and pearl.

The first additions to the line-up for Brunswick replace the Edge nameplate that has been so popular the past few years, the new balls are called Igniter. Sticking with tradition, this was last summers dual-launch with the Igniter Solid and the Igniter Pearl, and both balls utilize the same core, Brink Symmetric, used in the Jagged Edge in addition to an enhanced version of the successful Relativity coverstock, Relativity Solid 3.0. The Igniter Solid and Igniter Pearl look fantastic, are an unbelievable value, and offer incredible performance.

With it’s out of box surface of 500/2000 and core/cover combination, paired with my all purpose layout of 55x4x25, the Igniter Solid is a great option for a symmetric benchmark ball. The Igniter Solid provides a predictable motion that for me was a lot stronger than I was expecting ...able to clear the heads with a good read in the mid lane and still have power as it drives though the pins. During league I’m able to stand a little more to the right and I can play more up the boards or I can go the other way, get deeper inside with my feet and targets, and send it to the dry and let the core and cover pick up as it gets to the dry for a nice sweeping arc motion. I have adjusted the surface a couple of times by adding polish to get some added length before it starts to pick up in the mid lane and the motion was exactly as desired. Not only that, but I was easily able to bring the Igniter Solid back to out of box surface and have that same, original ball motion.

Brunswick isn’t known for having their bowling balls look flashy but the Igniter Solid is probably as flashy as it gets with the Lime Green / Grey. It’ll get looks, in a good way, as it’s rolling down the lane and crushing the pins and when it’s sitting on the rack or in your bag.

Rated by Brunswick Bowling in the Advanced / All Purpose category with a rating of 73, I found the Igniter Solid to be far stronger than what I was expecting from it especially for it’s mid level price, making it one of the best performance value per dollar in the last year.

Be well, rip racks ...and shred pins.
