- Description: XLerated Pin Destructing Power. The Twisted Fury Destruction introduces Brunswick''''s new XLERATOR coverstock, combining length you can count on with the back-end reaction you crave to provide pin destructing power.
Coverstock: The new XLerator coverstock has been formulated with two main goals in mind. First, to create length through the heads, both when they''''re fresh and after they''''ve broken down. Second, to create a strong angular move at the breakpoint in order to provide increased pin-carrying ball reaction. The XLerator coverstock succeeds at achieving both of these goals, giving you unparalleled reaction with a ball that gets to the spot and returns hard to the pocket.
Core: Good coverstocks become great when paired with a core that accentuates their strengths. After testing a wide range of cores (both new and old designs) with the new XLerator coverstock, the core that gave the absolute best reaction was the Torsion Asymmetric Core. This core/coverstock combo make the Twisted Fury Destruction rev up hard and hug the lane without hooking early. The medium RG asymmetric design of the core then turns loose the power of the coverstock on the back-end, unleashing destructive force on the pins.

Drilled 4 1/2" from PAP and above the fingers. MB at about 60 degrees. Factory finish. I've been throwing this one about 2-3 weeks now and I'm confident in what I'm seeing.

Frankly, this one is an improvement over the original, which was quite good. The difference is how the new cover reads the lane. Still clean through the heads, but very strong and continuous through the pin deck. Some pearls tend to squirt and be hard to predict on the wet/dry conditions, but this one seems to grip any friction and just keep going.
 
My first game was on freshly oiled synthetics so I played straight up the 7 board and shot 300. Since then I've been at a different house twice where we bowl second shift, and all that means is that I can move left and cross more boards late.  Huge recovery on slightly broken down shots for me. If I play straighter lines on the semi-broken down condition the ball was good, but not nearly as good as when I open up the lane a bit.

This cover/core combo are amazing together. Just feed the ball out toward friction and watch it return. Angular finish, but not "squirty" at all so far. This one should be a winner for awhile. Thanks Brunswick!

I don't post many reviews on bowling balls but this has fit the bill for me in league and Local Tounrney's since I received it.  Layed out 4.5 in pin above and slightley to right of the ring finger.  Mass at 60 degree's / about a inch away from thumb.  Extra hole down 2 1/4 from PAP with a 1 inch bit 2 inches deep and the surface is at 2000.
  My original twisted is a mirror to the drill pattern and same surface.  Coamparing the two the original want's to be smoother and earlier.  
  I have to agree with with Noclay on this ball 100 %, cleaner through the fronts and more pop in the backend then the original.  I have been able to start and most of the time finish with this ball in league.  The ball hits strong as long as it makes the turn but friction is needed.  
  The new balls coming out of brunswick do not have your your Typical Big B reaction.  Early rolling arch monsters but longer and stonger.  Thanks again to Ron Bragg for this gift and the layout.  I stongly recommend this ball and message.

5" Pin to PAP above fingers, 65 degree MB(for me this is right next to my thumb) OOB finish, no hole.

I found that compared to the Twisted, the TFD reads the lane better coming off the pattern and give a more continuous motion through the pins. I don't see any "snap" with this ball on our THS. Opening up the angles too much with make the ball squirt or hit flat, but if you stay closer to the friction(like the TF), this ball gets through the pins hard.

Review:
I had my doubles partner Lori Levandowski test this ball for me. Lori reminds me physically of Linda Barnes/Carolyn Dorin Ballard, good company to be in. For Lori out of the box the ball reminded me of a conventional Urethane ball, very smooth off the dry spot and a very arcing back end reaction, reminded me of her fury pearl with a little early break point. I took the ball to 2000 abralon pad and then the ball had a complete different look, a lot more aggressive off the spot and much stronger back end reaction. My opinion the ball became a "Monster". So if your Destruction isn't very strong out of the box try taking it to your pro shop operator and have him/her sand the ball to 4000 or 2000 then try it. Brunswick says the Xlerator cover is the strongest they have, after sanding off the rough buff I would agree. I wish Brunswick would experiment with different abralon pad surfaces instead of using Rough Buff. So out of the box I would recommend the ball for medium to dry, sanded at 2000 a great choice for medium to heavy oil.Thanks for reading my review.

I am not very pleased with this ball. I get a very over under reaction on fresh lanes and i have a tough time carrying the ten pin. I am a high rev high speed bowler and all of my other brunswick equipment is great. I have this ball drilled pin above the fingers and it just doesnt have the punch on the backs that i thought it would on fresh oil. Now on a lane that is nearly burnt this is my go to ball.

This is a condition-specific ball, imho. I bought it because I loved the original twisted fury. I am a speed dominant stroker/tweener, and this ball was drilled for me with the pin under the ring finger 3 3/8 from pap.

Out of the box the ball did not rev up early enough for me, so I sanded it down to 1000 abralon. The ball reacted very nicely at 1000 abralon and I was able to play up the track or swing it outside a bit and the ball would hit with power. I tried it on a broken down scorpion pattern, and a light-medium oil sport shot where it also performed well and allowed me some area to play with.

I could see using this ball on the shorter pba patterns like cheetah or viper, or some broken down PBA shots like the scorpion, as well as med-light house or sport shots. If you bought this ball to be your main piece then you will be disappointed, but if you use it as a condition-specific ball that is a complement to your main heavier oil ball, than I think it is a great addition to the arsenal because of its length, backend and hitting power.

Right now I have a 3 ball arsenal with the Virtual Gravity as my heavy oil ball, Twisted Fury Destruction for med-light oil and a Blue Dot for spares/dry conditions, and they work well together.

Dual Angle Layout  45* x 5 x 36*   X hole on PAP

Condition: THS, wood lanes

I got this ball for my experience league because in one house I bowl in they don't pull tapes (to make sure its legal) and I've bowled in many different houses on sport compliant conditions on both wood and synthetic, and it's nothing like this particular house.  The heads go way too fast and the oob is too thin, I get recovery where I shouldn't and I fight getting anything down lane there.

I bowl in another house with an experience league, and I also wanted the ball for something smooth when it exits the pattern so when they do start to break down I can get some push before it makes its move to the pocket (when I move in at times and I can't fan it right due to OOB, i have trouble projecting the ball to my breakpoint and keeping it from checking up too early. I'm a slower speed player).

Anyway, First time out was in my Wed. night mens league and I just wanted to get a feel for the ball before I started using it on the tough stuff.  You can get recovery from most equipment on THS's from just pitching it right and this ball is no acception.  

What I did like about the ball though is when it made its transition towards the pins it was very very continuous and I even tried a few times to get the ball to roll out and I couldn't make the ball do that.  I got in around 18 and tried to see how clean it was through the heads and it did skid very well and I was impressed as to how much ball speed I kept on the quibecca scale

I'm usually around 14.5 to 15.0 at the pins, with this ball I was getting up to around 15.5-.80 without added effort if I made too much of an adjustment left or tugged it in a bit and it stayed in the oil.  Now my carry wasn't worth a crap when I did that, and on one good shot from inside I left a stone 8, and had a few weeks 10s, but I was in too deep to get ball to face properly and get the right angle for what the lanes were giving me.

From what I can tell, this ball is exactly what I asked for.  I wanted something with some shine that I could project down lane, and it not be flippy on the back when it exited the pattern, but just give me a smooth hard arc that I could control/manipulate easier.

But I didn't do too bad with it first night out in league bouncing it off my great wall of china either.  I finished with 228, 243, 237 for a 708.  I'm very happy with the ball so far, and it's my first from Big B, so I'm looking foreward to trying more in the future.  It's a shame they discontinued it so early.

Later,
