Hi All,

I'm proud to present to you The Brunswick Copperhead and Swarm Video.

http://www.videoballreviews.com/copperheadswarm.html

My Take on the Ball:

The Copperhead and Swarm are great new pieces for Brunswicks renamed Performance line (formerly BVP)...Power Koil 18 has been around forever and there is a reason why, the cover just flat out works.

The copperhead will give you a good look OOB as long as you have some volume...get this thing to the dirt too quick and it will have a tough time recovering as it will expend all its energy up front...a coat of polish will do the trick to fix that tho. My Best looks OOB were on Shark, Scorpion, and from a deep inside line on a house shot keeping it the oil as long as possible.

The Swarm is the most angular Big B ball i have thrown to date. This thing absolutely POPS off the dry. It can get squirty in oil OOB, but get it too some dry and watch it fly...very different from any other piece i have thrown from brunswick. Be interesting to see what they do with this honeycomb core in the future. Scorpion wasnt the best look for this ball, and i think it will be more at home (at least for normal handed guys) on shorter patterns and/or medium volumes and lower.

Nope both were OOB, the copperhead had about 10-15 games on it before i shot the video, so it may have shined it self up a bit...

I've been saying it for about a month now, but for me the Swarm is more angular than any Brunswick ball that I can think of.

The Copperhead is strong so I think many bowlers will hit it with a touch of shine for house shots, higher volumes will be able to use it dull and enjoy it's control.

Good videos.

wow i never see u swing the ball with that speed and see so much recovery

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
