For the Black/Red Reactive Monster, the original Monster core has been modified to create a lower differential and track flare potential than the Green/Black Reactive Monster. This change results in more length and a smoother backend reaction; making the Black/Red Reactive Monster a better match for stronger release players and/or drier lane conditions.

Coverstock: PowrKoil 17 - Reactive
Color: Black/Red
Hardness: 77-79
Factory Finish: Rubbing and Finishing compound double buff

I am very Excited to Give a Review on 3 New Brunswick Balls, with The "Red/Black" Monster Reactive being the 1st. I will compare this Ball Reaction to the New Brunswick Purple "Fuze" and my "Parker Bohn MVP".
The Skinny on this New Ball is a Polished Powercoil 17 Reactive Coverstock, same coverstock that is used on my Parker Bohn and the Famous Blue Sapphire Zone. This beautiful Red/Black Pearl Reactive has a Medium to High Rg Core and a Medium Diff. of .035 I believe. Remember Big Diff. does not always mean better, just more aggressive.
The Lane Condition and Lane Surfaced I tested these balls on is the Recently Remodeled AMF Bowlero in Wauwatosa WI. Kudos to Roy Brent and his staff on their 1.5 Millon Dollar Make over. The Center Looks Great. The Oil Pattern I bowled on was 40 Feet Buffed to 46 using AMF Reactor Oil on Brand New HPL 9000 Lane Beds. Outsides Dry, "Christmas Tree" pattern toward the center, which will make for a high scoring environment.
I Drilled my Black/Red Monster with the Pin Out 3" from my grip center with the Pin 3 3/4 from my P.A.P. and the Center of Gravity to the right of my grip Center.
This Ball was clean the front 15' quite nice with a stong roll pattern and a smooth strong banana shape arc toward the pocket. The overall hook was comparable to my "Parker Bohn", but the Parker hit a touch harder. Compared the New Purple Pearl Fuze the "Fuze" went through the Front 15' cleaner and made a stronger move to the pocket on the backends. The Monster kept the pins low and had average pin mix. The Fuze was a Bomb going off when it hit the pins, No Pun intended. The Parker and this Monster are so close you be splitting hairs to tell any difference. For the Bowler Looking for a Low Priced Bomb, this ball gives you all of that and than some. You will not be disappointed with this ball's predictibility and hit for Medium Oily to Medium Dry Lanes. The Retail will range between $149.99 to $169.99.
Brunswick Clearly has set the Mark in appearance and performance with this Black/Red Monster. With a Great and Proven Coverstock with the Powercoil 17 and a strong but controllable weight block you can't go wrong, enjoy!!!
Thanks to Bill Wasserberger, Ray Edwards, Billy O. and Ron Bragg from Brunswick for their Friendship and Support. Thank you for reading this review and best of luck.!!!

Drill= Pin 1/2 in to right of ring finger hole, cg 1/2 oz positive, 3/8 finger, along ring finger center line. This drill is about a 4 by 5 with my pap.
Condition= Tried synthetic house shot, plus Sport Condition on wood/synthetic lanes.
Review: The cover is rugged and not prone to damage. The core is a great match to the cover. This ball is predictable and hard hitting.
The Red/Blk starts up somewhat earlier than a Messenger Ti Pearl. Has an arc like hook--not skid snap. The Red/Blk seems perfect for slower speeds and slightly higher revs, as a goto ball for house and Sport League.
I feel that an arc type ball should be drilled with a positive attitude (as I drilled this one). The ball's attitude is a positive, arcing force. I regularly use this ball for control and forgiveness.
Note: See Dwight Albrecht review--as I agree with his appraisal.
Thank You, Bug

This is me brunswick.Ha personally I just not to long ago got back into bowling this past year.
While coming back I had a red alert special edition black solid before going out of bowling but never really bowled with it until the summer of 2001.
To get to the point I am going post a review for the monster red/black then for the red alert since they dont have the ball up here.First thing,first the monster red/black i got it drilled to 2-3 inches pin from CG located under the ring finger its about inch and half from my ring finger.
first time I throw it was on a tournament shot in a tournament actually.If somebody could help me out and tell me what kind of drill that it is if its for a tweener or a stroker or a what ever.I stood about 32 throw about 15 or 12 and the ball went straight imean like a got damn plastic ball except for extremely light oil if you dont have hands this ball is just a waste of time for real broke down lanes only iam talking about a hold lot of dryness.
Now my red alert is the same way the drill that is but my pin on this ball is a tad bit out less than a centimeter but totally different this is my favorite so far I bowled my first 256 with it and is stood about 34-37 and through about
10 and further and came back and paw blow them now I have one accomplish now lets see what other accomplish next swamp monster.

Ball picks up the same shot/same line as soon as the lanes dry up for the Inferno. Hits hard and will never die. Long Live PowerKoil!

Hits good, great lenght and it is not jumpy for a pearl reactive. For many people this ball could be the first ball out of their bag. Due to my ball speed I use it primarily on dry lanes. It will not work if you have carrydown or spotty backends.
This ball is a solid 8-10. With the price point you can get them at now that they are discontinued EVERYONE should have one.
