Title: Twisted Fury
Post by: admin on December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM
Coverstock: EnMotionâ„¢ Reactive
Ball Color: Red / Black / Silver All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown.
Ball Finish: Rough Buff Finish
Hook Potential: 115 (Medium-High) on a scale of 10-175 Low-High
Length: 105 (Medium) on a scale of 25-235 Early-Late
RG Differential: 0.036 (Medium Flare) on a scale of .000-.080 Low Flare-High Flare
RG Average: 2.548 (Medium-Low) on a scale of 2.43-2.80 Very Low-High Break Point
Breakpoint Shape: 80 (Angular) on a scale of 10-100 Arced-Angular
Recommended Lane Conditions: Medium to Oily
Description: Get Twisted! The Twisted Fury expands and upgrades the Fury line by introducing both a new core and new coverstock to the market. The Twisted Fury is comprised of an asymmetric version of the Torsionâ„¢Core and the EnMotionâ„¢ Reactive coverstock.
Coverstock: The Twisted Fury introduces EnMotion Reactive coverstock. More aggressive in the mid-lane and back-end than High Octane, EnMotion Reactive delivers tremendous mid-lane recovery and forgiveness combined with plenty of back-end ball reaction
Core: Brunswick has added a new twist to the Torsion core concept by producing an Asymmetric version for the Twisted Fury. The symmetric version of the Torsion core used in the original Fury was based on triangular geometry. The Asymmetric version is based on a six-sided polygon. The inner core of a 16-pound Twisted Fury weighs in at 6.36 pounds, resulting in a medium RG that helps push the aggressive EnMotion coverstock down the lane. Brunswick has put a new twist on core design so you can twist it up better on the lanes.

All,

Brunswick's East Coast Product Specialist, Dennis Reale, was kind enough to send me one of the first Twisted Fury's to come off the line. All I can say is WOW!!!!! I am impressed!!!!!

First the stats. My axis is 5 1/2" over and 5/8" up. I guess I would be considered now a power tweener (darned old age ) . I drilled the Twisted with the primary pin at 5" from my axis and the psa at 55 degrees in relationship to my axis.

The Twisted gets through the fronts with ease and makes a very strong, continuous arc to the pocket. Sounds pretty standard for a Brunswick ball. But now comes the difference.

I have used this ball on a few different conditions now, and what really impresses me is the Twisted's ability to cut through carrydown.

I have used the Twisted up against other Brunswick produced balls and some other competitor's equipment. The Twisted retains it's hitting power when all other balls tend to back-off downlane when carrydown is present. I won't mention it's name, but one of the more popular asymmetric pearlized balls would "wiggle" downlane and not get through the pins very well (flat 10's all day long). But the Twisted really seems to stay "stuck" to the lane better and get through the pins better than any ball I have thrown it up against.

With the introduction of the Twisted Fury, it looks as though Brunswick has started to really get it's act together at the new facility.

Twisted #1

4 3/4" PIN to PAP, Pin below fingers, 55 degree MB. OOB finish.

This layout for me wants to roll right away and stand up in the pocket. This enables me to square up and let the cover glide through the front. The response to friction is quick for a strong move to the pocket.

I bowled on a 43' modified FIQ pattern and after a few games of play I was able to use the Twisted. I couldn't use it early with the box finish and long oil, but after some break down I could move deep and use the length for pull and the break down for room right.

Twisted #2

5" PIN to PAP, Pin above fingers, 45 degree MB.

Compared to my 5" Blast Zone 70 degree, the Twisted is an animal! This is the hardest backending Brunswick Assym I have thrown!! With the 45 degree we had to put a hole regardless to bring it back to legal. I threw it before hand to determine where it should go and this ball consistently drove to the 8 through the pins. We put the hole on my PAP and it didn't affect the reaction.

(UPDATE) January 2, 2008

Twisted #3 RICO

Pin in center of grip with the MB at 45 degrees.

Compared to Twisted #1, this layout is 100 times better! Like I mentioned above, #1 stands up to the pocket quickly, and this RICO has a much stronger roll and is continuous through the pins. This ball lets me stay to the right and strike. The break point window is much longer than #1. #3 is OOB finish. This layout matches up perfectly to the ball for me.

I have been experimenting in trying to find a layout/ball combo to stay to the right and still carry the ten. I have found it in this ball with the RICO.

Ric Hamlin is awesome and sent me one of these to test for him.  I would have posted earlier on this ball, but I have had many people throw this ball to assure me that this ball is very different.  

If this ball did not have a "B" label on it you wouldn't know it was a "B" Ball at all. I drilled it 4-1/4" from pap 55Deg. pin 1-1/2" up from the Midline.  My first impression of this ball was WOW!  I cant believe it is a Brunswick ball.  Soooooo clean thru the fronts and mid-lane area then just comes unglued in the backend.  The more impressive thing was how it did all that in a very predictable manner.  I never got the feeling that it was going to be over/under like most skid/flip balls.  Then I turned it over to some of the locals in the house.  3-300's have been shot with it in practice and I have pre sold 5 of them as of now. It is truly an amazing piece of equipment.  This ball with either replace something in your bag or will be a ball you do not have and need to put in there.

Layout - 4 1/2" pin to PAP, below fingers, and MB at 45 degrees. Balance hole. Factory finish.

I'm not a high rev bowler. Not even close. I'm usually around 16 mph and try to play straighter as my first option.

This ball has 9 games on it now, and I'm comfortable recommending it to anyone who wants a ball to clear the heads with EASE and finish hard.  It's a little shiny for me to play on wet, except for the extreme outside line where I prefer, anyway. So far, carry has been exceptional.

If I put a decent release (because sometimes I don't) this ball is sure to start reading and finishing with authority.  I may try it at 2000 abralon just to see how much more room I have.  Brunswick and BTM have both said that "the ball rolls great no matter what finish we put on it."  

I will try to remember to update this review if/when I take a little shine off. I have been very happy with other Brunswick asymmetrical core balls and anticipate that this one may be at the top of the list the more I throw it.

On a less serious note, mine has lots of silver with maybe 25% burgundy and 25% black.  Some of the guys have said it makes them dizzy watching this one go down the lane... Who says there's no defense in bowling?

UPDATE: Took the cover down to 1000 then back up to 2000 abralon on the advice of Ric Hamlin.  The ball still finishes nicely, but gives me more room for error.  When I threw it on a lane with some carry-down from open play it was still able to finish, and on fresh league shot with plenty of oil and clean back-ends the ball was still great, just had to make a tiny move left each game
for carry.

UPDATE #2: Applied Bean's Secret Sauce and the ball was the strongest back end move yet. I will probably leave it here as it is a nice compliment to my Pearl Fury and Fury solid. Do NOT hesitate to try this ball!

OK.  4 ¾ pin to PAP with pin just below fingers right in the midline.  55 degrees between Pap and MB.  Pretty much right in between Bruns 1 + 2 drilling sheet. Tried in box finish and did not get much kick down the lane.  40 foot house shot that has lots of oil in the heads and old wood.  Hit with 2000 abalron and got a little better reaction.  Finally put a ¾ by 2 ½ hole in pos thumb axis.  Big difference.  A lot more back end reaction.  And with my huge rev’s (LOL) I could really see it kick in.

Last night during league started practice with total inferno.  El hooko.  Went down to the Fury Pearl.  Strong mid and  large finish.  OK.  Take the Twisted out and move 3 left, (left handed but it is what it is).  Bam, good kick at the end and much longer.  So I’ll use it.  Front 8 and then a 7pin.  Nothing new.  Next game front 12….300.  Last game drank beer.  781 with a new ball is a great start.  At our place there is usually maybe 3 or 4 300’s a year and very old school.  When someone shoots 300 the place goes nuts and it did.  New bowlers came up and thanked me cuz they’s never seen anyone do it.  Must say it felt great to hear it and to give them the joy of seeing it.   And what a year!!!!  Hole in one….300….just need an 800 to fill it up !!!!
 
And yes we do the PBA Experience league and many know the diff and get a kick out of trying to figure out what to do when the house shot isn’t there.

Will be bowling a couple tourns next weekend and see if I can use it.  But I’ll use whatever is working.  Used it last night cuz I felt like trying it.  Lanes may be dry at both places and maybe not.  Bowl all over the Northwest and usually do well wherever I go.

Thanks to Ric Hamlin.  The colors go down the lane very well.  No one got seasick !!!!  Is for sure different than any Bruns ball I’ve thrown…………Rolled………Tossed……

Stats:
Speed: 17-18
RPM: 350-400
Tilt: low-mid

Drilled 5" from PAP above fingers with a 45* PSA.

Only thrown it for a couple of games but all I can say is wow. I have not seen another brunswick ball give the same look on the lanes. It was about 2 boards weaker than my Pearl Fury(4.5" below) and 2 boards stronger than my Smokin Inferno(6" above). It skids through the oil, picks up in the midlane, and snaps off the dry. It reacts to the dry a little more slowly than the Pearl but gives a stronger movement. It will be a great piece for me when the Pearl is too much or I can't get deep with it. It revs up in the midlane giving it the control to destroy a THS, and mine has! I've only been able to average about 225-230 with it so far, hopefully it will pick up the pace! It will definitely be a go-to ball on patterns between 36-40ft. and should be in everyone's bag.

See Profile for stats. Layout, 5" pin to pap right under middle finger, mass bias 45*, no balance hole. Ball has 10-12 games on it, so i feel i can give honest review. Bowl on anvilane synthetics, 38-40' THS, second shift. Ball is awesome, handles the medium pattern with ease in OOB finish, but you will need oil in the heads for this ball to really show it's strength. The backend is very strong & continuos, not quite a flip but a very strong arc. Ball is also very responsive to different releases, i can play anywhere from fourth arrow with alot of hand, or first arrow staying up the back of the ball. Carry is excellant, especially on light pocket hits, even if i miss the release a little bit ball still hits very hard. This is the first Fury i have owned and i am very happy with this ball, would recommend it to anyone looking for a medium to medium-heavy oil ball. I was a little hesitant about buying this ball because of some of the quality control issues since the move to Mexico,but i am glad i did. If you are thinking about getting this ball, get it and have it drilled correctly. You won't be sorry.

I drilled mine out today, and am very impressed.  I was initially concerned about the higher rg, and relatively mild differential.  However my first impression is of an almost perfect core shell matchup.  The shell is clearly stronger than Octane, to the point that it needs the higher rg to store some energy.  

I can play the Twisted in almost the same area of the lane as my much more rolly Pearl Fury. However, the roll pattern and break point are enough different that I can expect a difference in carry from the two.  Since carry is my main reason for making a ball change, rather than trying to acquire or reacquire the pocket, these two balls should become very good compliments to each other

bought the twisted fury last week.  didnt really get a chance to actually go practice with it before league, but threw it non the less.  this has got to be the best ball on the market by far.   now i'm a total ebonite guy, but after talking to my pro shop i decieded to give this a try.  there isnt anything bad i can say about this ball.  i drilled it with pin above ring finger with the cg and mass bias kicked out 45 degrees, with a hole on my pap with the intention of having something that had a very controled back end.  and i succeeded at that.  the ball comes off the dry and just sits, no over hooking here.  after about 12 games with this ball, i've thrown a 809 and a 299.  if ur looking for something that is forgiving this ball is it.  i liked it so much i ordered another

My Twisted Fury is awesome, definitely my benchmark ball. The ball loves a THS. My house, which is Harley's Bowl in Simi Valley, rarely puts out a high volume of oil. Me being a stroker/tweener, I dont like playing outside of my comfort zone. This ball gives the best look out of all 4 balls that I have.

This Fury was supposed to be a benchmark ball but its a little to weak to call it that. It turned out alright. Very lengthy but kinda smooth on the backend. Good ball. Great control. Good for lighter volume house shots as well as sport shots.

Twisted Fury
Ball Specs
The ball being drilled was a 3” pin out with 3.00 oz top weight.
Drilling: Pin 4" from PAP and Mb 4" from PAP. Pin Buffer 2" from V.A.L. Pin is above ring finger, 3" above grip midline. Weight Hole on my axis. Factory Rough Buff.

Bowler Information:
Track diameter is 10 1/2.
PAP is measured at 5 1/4 over and 3/8" up.
Average ball speed (foul line to head pin) is 16 mph.
Axis rotation is typically 90 degrees
Initial rev rate is typically 300 rpm, "Tweener"
Lane Condition and Pattern:
Bowlero Lanes, HPL 9000 Panel. Oil Pattern: Fairly Flat condition from edge board to edge board, semi clean backends.

Review:
Great colors in the Ball, so far very well recieved by the customers in my shop. I love the ball for drier conditions. On Oil the ball tends to labor unless you have alot of hand, it is alot more readable than previous Brunswick Skid Snap balls. Great ball for slower speeds or heavy hand releases, recovers well from an inside angle and hits very hard. Brunswick has done their job on this coverstock, I expect to see other balls come from them with the same coverstock in the future. Thanks for reading my review.

I just bought a Twisted Fury this morning and thru 1 game with it and shot 256. I had it drilled for maximum back end performance. I bowl at Spectrum Lanes in Wyoming, Michigan and the condition has been a bit slick to say the least. The first game I bowled I used my Ebonite NVS to get loose and that ball moved about 3 boards on the heavy oil pattern. The second game I used my new Twisted Fury and even on heavy oil it had a GREAT back end reaction. It DID NOT over hook when it hit a little less oil area and with a little tug left onto more oil it still hit like a tank!!! Out of 10 pocket shots I had 9 crushing strikes a left a solid 9 pin on the other. I was going to purchase a Complete NV but, my balloligest John C. told me about the raving reviews of the Twisted Fury. So, my advice would be to go with the brunswick Twisted Fury is you're tired of shooting at spares. With this ball you will be throwing it just once a frame.

Compared against the Fury  Hi Octane Cover stock,
The Asymmetric core design  matched with an EnMotion Core  combined
 With an Reactive cover stock.
The Twisted Fury
Is More aggressive in the mid-lane and back-end than High Octane, EnMotion Reactive
Twisted fury has a control predictable midland roller with great hitting power
This Ball is at it’s best on medium patterns
Reaction Characteristics”
Out of the Box: With its Rough Buff finish, the Twisted Fury will provide excellent mid-lane recovery and a strong continuous back-end reaction.
If your Twisted Fury goes too long:
Dull the surface with 800-grit or rougher abrasive to get the Twisted Fury to roll sooner and increase its hooking action.
If your Twisted Fury hooks too early:
Polish your Twisted Fury with Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish.

To bring your Twisted Fury back to its original factory finish, sand the surface to 400-grit then use Brunswick’s Factory Rough Buff Finish.

Very predictable reaction with the ball not jumping too much or too little.
 Creates some  forgiveness area on the lane.
Controlled able Midlane will  Make tackling tougher lane condition much easier

I have had this ball for about a month since I attended a recent Brunswick seminar held in PA...It is drilled 5 1/2 from PAP..MB 45 degrees...no weight hole...pin above ring finger...I must be honest...I have not really used it due to my using my Ultra Zone (another received via seminar)

My Ultra started to check up early so I switched to the Twisted the last ball in practice and bam....I was off to the races....This ball was just a breeze to use...All night I only moved two boards...I left one weak ten pin in the 2nd game...At one point, I had 15 strikes in a row...The results are

300---245---289---834

This is my highest set ever and the 2nd highest ever bowled in the bowling center

Thanks to Dennis Reale for the opportunity to bowl with the Brunswick Twisted Fury and the Ultra Zone...See Ya Soon...Go Brunswick

15 lbs 3 oz before drill
Pin: 3 inch
Pin to PAP 4"
PAP: 5 3/4 1/4 under RH
Layout: Dual angle, PSA angle 45, Val 45
Cover: Rough buff (factory finish)
League average 223


  Once everything was laid out..the pin sits about 1 inch under my middle finger.  15 games on this ball thus far, but thats enough for a first impression..In my opinion...
    Amazing bench mark ball..Plays the track like no ones elses business..On Med. oil you can can carry all day long...when the backends get sloppy with carry down, she still turns up so pretty like.. 277 high game with it so far..If I keep calm I'll shoot 300 with it..but who cares..this is a ball that you can cash with..its a must have...I can play the track with out moving much through 6 games.
  Example, King of the Hill tourneys, 6 game format, with 6 to a lane and moving lane to lane after each game, you know the drill.
  League seems to have the same look until the heads go and forces you move in, with two and one moves to get more oil to keep it twisting.
   You will not have to open the lane up much to get a sweet look or play deep inside to be effective..It seems to play all angles well though. I think BEST outside 17 for me...not a deep inside ball with this layout or cover..I would rather roll the Pearl Fury for a greater attack angle, you feel me..I wouldn't even suggest trying to use this ball deeper than 17!!! Sure I can swing it just like all of us can and I'm comfy inside..But play it where it scores best and carries better, and you will both shine!! Deep inside angles seem to ring the 10's, depending on the shot..I also like that I can play direct, with out relying on the outside bump, or having to belly the ball much..
Conclusion:
Easy revs..super mid lane read, PREDICTABLE, consistent and it hits so hard, Brunswick did it big with this one...Just know when to use it and when to bag it..Thats the key to winning
Good luck..
10 out of 10

I'm not here to brag about my high games, series or ability..I'm here to brag about how versatile this ball is... Buy one

This ball is absolutely amazing. I have alot of high scores with it. Everytime I use the twisted I have never shot anything below a 700. Here are some high scores. 725,789,792,705,756,289,300,279,278,289. Mine is drilled pin below the fingers between the brigde. This is my go to ball when it comes to league but when i start leaving 10's i put it away. For me this ball works anywhere on the lane down the boards works the best but when i swing it with drill backends it comes back and holds line if I pull it. One of the better balls i have had in the past.

Drilled this ball up about a month ago. Drilling is 70* by 5in by 50*, pin is drilled out in ring finger with a small x-hole down. This is ball gets great length and a nice hard roll to the pocket. With the pin being drilled out and an x-hole down, the backend is strong but controllable. I can use this ball on a number of conditions. It is a VERY nice compliment to my Ultra Zone.

I just bought this ball recently, 3-4" pin out with 3.7 top weight.  Had the pro-shop drill it extremely aggressive.  My first game was 260.  I finished this game with eight in a row and carried the first three in the second game.  First time in a while that I have thrown 11 consecutive strikes without leaving a ten pin.  I have a lot of speed and medium revs and even if I get the ball wide it will come back flush into the pocket. On a fresh condition the ball is fantastic.  Once the lanes breakdown I switch to my Fury.

This is a great hitting but easy to control ball.  I highly recommend it.

First off i was not a brunswick fan for a long time.  Almost every ball i ever tried from them wanted to hook early, but after some great recommendations from my cousin i gave this ball a try.

I throw about 16-17 mph, medium revs, stroker-tweener and tried this ball on a medium house shot.  This ball displays excellent length, with great recovery.  This ball does just exactly what i wanted it to.  Seems it will fit well on most medium to lighter shots.  If i pulled it a little, it held, if i sent it out wide, it still maintained good recovery.  Give this ball a chance.

Rating 9/10

This is my first review so bare with.  Pin is above ring finger, cg below ring finger, mass bias about 3 inches to the right of the thumb.  Don't know pap so I drill what I like and know.  This ball is awesome.  The ball has a later mid than my blast zone but still a good read.  The recovery on the backend is awesome.  Pin carry is tremendous. The ball is very responsive to rev rate and hand position. This is the first brunswick ball I have bought in a long time and it will not be the last.  Just want to say thanks to Jason in Iowa who I bought this ball and a blast zone from.  He helped me with the layout and he is a awesome seller.

This is my second post after deleting the first. I got the ball on more favorable conditions and all I can say is wow! The ball is set up long and smooth but the continuation makes this ball a beast. It goes 40ft then strong arc to the pocket. My normal line is 22 to 11 with my break point being 7. With the twisted I was starting 27 to 13. The ball is a lot stronger than I was looking for. This might be my benchmark along with my pluto that's coming.

Summary: long, smooth, continuous, and hits like kimbo slice. Good job brunswick. Thanks to Chris M and Paul Seay.

So I bought my twisted Fury  about three months ago and drilled it up with the pin above the ring finger.  The ball works good some time but most of the time it just kinda of just doesnt make the move that i was looking for.  When the lanes are the ball works great but it is not the first ball out of the bag that I thought it would be.  If anyone has any suggestions about cover stock adjustments or different lines to play please let me know.  Im have a high ball speed with a med. rev rate and i realy like to go straight.

I got a 15 lb twisted fury a few months ago. Pin below ring finger, balance hole 3-4 inches to the right of the pin and mass bias kicked out to right about 3 inches in line with balance hole. I am a down and in stroker and I have it highly polished. This ball performs best for me on wood lanes or a mix of wood/synthetic. I can play the track or outside the track and the ball has decent length and backend. It is a good ball, not really exceptional in any respect except that it looks very cool and that is probably why it is soo popular. I see this ball everywhere on the lanes. I am just a sucker for a nice pearlized ball what can I say, it's a decent piece.

Got this ball to compliment the Fury and Fury Pearl TE Drilled with the pin below ring finger and a balance hole as well, I am rollin about 15mph with med revs and absolutely LOVE this ball!! Ball rolls long so I can stand left of center, roll out to 10 board and she turns right into the pocket!! After the turn, she crashes the pocket like a runaway train! So far I haven't rolled under 175 or over 250, but i am workin on it

 out of the box the rough buff finish was a little squirty coming off the oil, took ball to spinner polished first with pro grip degree 4000 the brought it down with 2000 grit abralon pad. WOW what a difference not only did the ball retain it's mid lane read but the energy stored was phenomenal. This hitting machine was throwing pins like they were children's plastic pins. As of this date I have thrown 3 300's plus 824 with this particular ball ( one of the 300's was on PBA scorpion ). One thing to remember about this ball is that was not intended for heavy oil and if you purchased one for a lot of oil you will be disappointed. this ball was intended for typical house and shorter PBA patterns.

I drilled this ball with the "rico" layout. I have seen a lot of these balls go down the lane and even as a staffer I was a little reserved when drilling this ball. It seems that a lot of people drill this piece too weak thus causing an over under reaction. No one likes over under balls, so I made sure I thought out my decision. The layout allows the ball to pick up a roll very early, but at the same time the pearl cover keeps the ball from checkin up early. I was impressed with the length the ball got for being roughly 800 grit surface; for fun my friend suggested taking the surface up to see what happened. Well as you can guess the ball went much longer, at least 3 feet; this was not what I was looking for. Anyways, I would highly recomend this ball for leagues, it has nice continuation through the deck and with the correct surface prep can read the lane at any point you would like it to.

Alright, Ive had this ball for a couple of months now, and it took awhile for me to get usedto it. It is set up with the pin directly under the bridge and the cg is on the val. I had to take this ball to 300 grit to get just a little action on it, maybe 3-4 boards with my normal speed. Or about 10 boards with slower speed and higher revs. Overall this ball works well on Dry-to not so heavy medium, lol. I give this ball a 9/10 for dryer lanes.

Thanks for reading my review

I'm right handed. My style is somewhere between a stroker & tweener. About 14-15mph at the rack with avg revs. I feel most comfortable playing the ball between 8 & 13 at the arrows. And I've been bowling for about a year & a half. My current league avg is in the 185-190 range. Our THS is 40ft.

The ball has a 3-4" pin with a pin under 4-1/2" x 60 degree layout (no balance hole).

This ball for me is a very good ball for fresh patterns with pretty dry backends. And on used lanes that are breaking down on the backend. So far I've shot my highest individual games (256 & 263) & series (660) with this ball.

This may sound stupid but another thing I really like about this ball is it is a great indicator for oil moving down the lane. The 1st shot I throw with this ball that lands solid in the pocket & the rack doesn't shatter like glass, I immediately go to my next ball up & the pins start to fly out the back again. This ball seems to lose most of it's hitting power whenever it encounters any oil on the backend. It looks like it tries to push to pins aside, rather than knock them down. But I find this reaction very beneficial because it's the only ball I have that gives me this type of read.

I've also used this ball on both the cheetah & chameleon patterns & did very poorly on both. The biggest part of the problem was operator error but even when I could find the pocket, it would not carry for me. My personal belief though is that it was more the drilling than it was the ball to blame for that.

The bottom line is if you're looking for a really good house shot ball, then you should give serious consideration to this ball. It is pretty tough to beat this ball on a THS.

I want to also say thanks again to Bill at Buddies Pro Shop. I really appreciate this ball.

I have had this ball for about 9 months now, and i still love it as much as the day i got it, when i threw 742 out of the box.

The ball is drilled using brunswicks advanced assymetric ball drilling layout, with the CG kicked out a little farther and no weight hole.

On a 38 foot house shot, the ball goes long, i mean real long. At about 50 feet it makes a huge jump left and just decimates the pocket, leaving only an occasional 10 pin or 9 pin. As a matter of fact, the only time it leaves something worse than that is when i throw it poorly.

It is a great ball and i recomend it for anyone looking for more length withour giving up turn.

Pin above ring finger and slightly to the inside. CG kicked out to the right, mb right of thumb. weight whole about a half a inch to the right of the mb.

I've had this about 4 months now. At first i didn't like the ball. it seemed to Brun up on me alot. After about two months I figured i would try it down and in. Try to play the lanes a lil straighter. What I good idea!!! Playing it from 20 to 10 with the break point at 5 seemed to be the way to go. If i miss inside the twisted fury would hold, miss out side it would recover. It carries well, not what I am use to a far as hitting power. I guess hammer has spoiled me a lil bit. I won a tournament with it yesterday 254,256,283.
Good ball to have in your bag if you ask me.

I drilled a Twisted Fury last week to give me a ball that was rolly in the midlane and continuous on the back. That is the exact look that I got. The ball has a very hard, controllable midlane but doesn't seem to quit on the back. With box finish, however, the ball was a little squirly, with a touch up with a green scotch bright pad the ball now has the look that I was looking for. I would say that the reaction is along the lines of a Columbia midlane and a Roto Grip backend. I will be using it more than likely on patterns like Viper and Cheetah where I like to have the look that I mentioned earlier. It will definitely be in my bag for this weekend's PBA east regional on Viper. I will definitely look into the solid version of the ball if I need a totally rolly piece.

Alright I have to tell you in detail about this ball because it's so great.
I got it used from a friend, plugged and redrilled it my favortite drill.
73x5x75 pin under middle finger, mass bias about an inch and a half left of thumb.
This ball and this drill allows me to do what I do best, pipe in up the five board. It revs up, rolls in the midlane and continues through the backend so well. I was worried it wouldnt hit very hard bc the person I got it from had switch grips (which I do too, but he is right handed). So it was a big hole to plug, but no way it hits as if brand new. I have quite a few bowling balls and am famous for switching alot (which isnt always good) but I have started and finished with the twisted pretty much everywhere I go. (traveling high school bowling). Looking for a nice versitile ball? get a twisted fury now.
Now I need a Twisted Fury Solid.

I know It's pretty late to post a review for a Twisted Fury, being it came out a while ago. But, I just got it from a friend who decided he didn't like it anymore. I however, was more than happy to take it off his hands. I put in a new thumb and grips, and hit the lanes with it. Now, he had it pretty aggressively drilled, and I decided to keep it, since I needed a little more hook.

Layout:

-------
--0-0--
-----p-
---cg--
-------
---O---
-----mb

I bowl on a Modified house shot, about two feet longer than avg, and wet outside. Being a stroker who loves to throw it up five, this ball can let me do that on fresh oil. But, I can also open up the lane and will not worry about the ball not coming back. It will. My first set was a practice session where I shot a 741 series with games of 215, 227, and 299. If you're on the right condition, lined up, and repeat shot, you can strike on command with this ball. The carry is just phenomenal. Just my own $0.02

I hated it. Could not get the ball to react on any condition.Used my usual drilling stacked, by my same pro shop operator as my other balls.A lot of people loved this ball but it did not match up with me very well as did nothing with this cover stock.I tried them all and could not get any performance out of them. Might as well been throwing a plastic ball.I loved the first two Furys and the inferno line. I see that Brunswick is selling a lot of their overstock at cut rate prices and wonder if I am the only one who hated this cover stock. My speed rate is around 15 and,moderate amount of revs, average 200 in a couple of leagues considered by my peers to be a strong stroker.If you fall into line better stay way from this cover stock.

dilled this ball just like my wild ride, pin above and slightly to the left of my middle finger with the mb 2in to the right of the thumb.  I would describe this as a skid arc ball for me at first.  so i took the surface down to 1000 and what a difference.  before it was a little touchy but with the surface ajusted it reads the lanes in the middle enought to open up the world for me.  first night with it after the surface adjustment 770-789.  (bowled league then king of the hill tourny, 3 games each)

This ball, along with my rattler are my 2 balls that are first out of the ball and usually get me lined up pretty quickly.  A must have in my book.  Great job Brunswick

Brunswick Twisted Fury - 15 lbs

Pin to CG Distance - 3-3.5"

TopWeight:  Approximately 3 oz.

Layout: Pin over ring finger - 4-4.5" to PAP, MB out 60 degrees

Ball Reaction - Length with a strong arcing backend

Comments:

This was another ball I bought in reaction to some struggles I had in a couple of PBA Regionals during last summer.  The problems had nothing to do with the tools, a bad pair of bowling shoes creating some bad habits and the lack of understanding of how to play inside was really the culprit.  What I found out is that between this one and the Ultra Zone that BW and I don't really match up that well right now.  Again, this ball was extremely condition specific, but on the right condition, it rolled really well.  This ball definitely needed oil in front and needed some bounce right of the breakpoint to be effective.   I tried to use it on the Viper and the Scorpion Patterns with limited success.  I decided to sell this one back to the pro shop as well, I have other equipment that covers this spot that is much more versatile.  I'm sure a stronger MB position would've made this ball a little more versatile, but it wasn't worth the investment to me to try it.  This ball with this layout wasn't a good matchup for my game.

I learned that if I'm going to use BW equipment in the future, I should definitely use stronger MB positions because they tend to roll earlier and smoother than the Storm/Columbia stuff that I'm used to.  This is not a knock on BW, it just a different ball reaction than I'm used to seeing and I can see them working really well for certain styles of bowlers.  Just not me.

Was a hand-me-down from a friend. Got it drilled with pin in-between the fingers and the cg below my ring finger. "right handed" Ball was polished at 2000 grit. A bit to over under for me. Scuffed to 4000 grit and have loved it ever since. Is a total beast on the old cheetah pattern, very controlled and drives through the pins extremely well. I am extremely impressed with this ball and don't leave home without it when I got to tournaments.

I got this ball hot off the press.I had only been bowling about 3yrs.i was around a 185-190 average.My first league averaged 204.The ball seemed to be leaving alot of corners (10 pins).A fellow bowler recommended i have the ball dulled to get a little more drive.So I tried it and what a differance it made.I just finished my summer league with a 213 average.I have no real complaints i flat out love it.

Had the ball drilled with pin under ring finger, a had to dull it up a bit because it didn't handle a lot of oil for me.  The only problem is I seem to be leaving alot of 4 pins.  At first the ball would do nothing on the lanes.  I deal with a lot of oil, as I said I dulled it up a little, hooks now but now the 4 pin keeps staying up.  My average is 210, I use a Resurgance, which carry's a lot better.

i bought a twisted fury a while back. i got it drilled full roller. it was an outstanding ball for bout 12 games then i lost all the carry. i talked to a ex tour bowler and he told me that i need to keep it as shiny as i can. and since then i have put nearly 100 games on it and it still pounds the pocket rarely ever leaving me any ten pins what so ever

Can't really figure this ball out, after not bowling well with it since I've had it, tried it again and back to back 250's after a split filled first game, 140, go figure
