Brunswick is pleased to introduce their newest bowling ball called the C•(System) 2.5.
The C•(System) 2.5 was developed in close collaboration with Hall of Fame bowler Carmen Salvino. The new line of performance bowling balls features Chemical Friction Technology (CFT).
Coverstock: CFT 2.5â„¢ The chemistry was uniquely designed to have shaped molecular structures that produce a high coefficient of friction. Because of the shape of the molecule, when the ball goes into rolling friction, which occurs at the back part of the lane, slippage is eliminated and the ball will give you maximum entry and carry.
Core: The new I-Block core was engineered specifically for the CFT 2.5 coverstock to create maximum forgiveness, strong entry angles along with versatile drilling layouts.
Reaction Characteristics:
Ball Motion: With its 4000-grit micro pad finish, the C•(System) 25 will provide good length with a strong, continuous backend reaction that matches up on medium to oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.
Reaction Setup: The C•(System) 2.5 can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for asymmetric bowling balls. Please visit www.brunswickbowling.com/balls to view the drilling instructions for specific reaction characteristics and layout details.
The specifications for the C•(System) 2.5 are: Core: I-Block: Coverstock: CFT 2.5: Color: Red Pearl/Blue Pearl: Hardness: 75-76: RG: Rating 2520: (differential): 0.050: Asymmetry: 0.017: Weights: 12-16: Hook Potential: 155: Length: 105: Breakpoint Shape: 90

This is a great ball, with a very unique reaction on the lane and through the pin deck!
The new core and coverstock technology provide maximum forgiveness and superior pin carry compared to anything else I've seen or used on the market.
I'll provide a full review once we get closer to the release date and I have an opportunity to use the ball more.

A few of the other guys on the senior tour commented that it gave him a look on the lanes that he has needed. Long and strong is a good description and I'm not sure how serious Mark Williams was, but he said he wanted a case of them.
He had 2 that he picked up from Muskegon earlier in the day and they were basically ignoring the OB on the #4 senior pattern. I will add that the lanes had been oiled in the morning and had sat all day by the point he bowled on them, but there were only 3 lefties left in match play today.
The only ball he had brought in to compared against was a Rattler, and it wasn't recovering like the C-(S) 2.5 was. Petraglia was also commenting about needing to tweak the "tame" one to get a bigger difference in reaction from the other he had. Both balls were still OOB in regards to surface.
Hopefully with these in his bag he'll have a better look in Detroit next week and can make it to match play.

Well, it is a good looking ball.
I'm guessing this was a joke..
I drilled one up yesterday for one our Brunswick-distributor reps..
IMO not the prettiest ball from Brunswick.. Looks like a dull Blue/Red Power Groove..
I could see a lot more shelf appeal if they tried something else than blue..
Have not had the chance to get a review from the rep.. But from what i've heard elsewhere it sounds very interesting..
Not too impressed with the drillsheet though.. I like the fact that they use the Dual Angle Technique.. Not so excited about the X-hole recommendation..

No Joking here.
I have not been lucky enough to see one in person, but the pics I have seen make it appear to be a nice looking ball.

Are you kidding me, what a joke. Brunswick is reeling. The Seige was a huge flop, one of the worst rolling balls i have ever seen and had a ton of hype/marketing to make it almost an epic fail( EPX T1 type failure no but still bad) They are of course going to say its the best ball since whatever ball they had sold a ton. They are just pumping out balls hoping to hit a winner and in reality they are just sinking their ship even further. I wouldnt throw a Bwick ball if it was the last ball produced, i would quit bowling before I threw one.
Look at all of their last High performance releases, all flops and all could be found for dirt cheap 6 months after released. Do not see why this one will be any different. Someone tell me why i am wrong
You're wrong because you're angry.

Will do.
If you have thrown the Smash Zone, Wild Ride, etc. etc. (I have yet to throw anything after the Ride since i'm out on injury), you would see Brunswick is making great pieces. Before I was injured, my Wild Ride/Smash Zone combo would be all I needed on a typical house pattern. The Wild Ride for playing a bit deeper, and the Smash Zone for kicking the ten when the Ride wouldn't. I still have an undrilled Siege/Rattler so I can't give an honest assessment on them, but I know they're going to be great.

Bowlingball.com has a lot of bowlingballs for sale cheap by a lot of companies at some point or another. Including roto grip and storm. When Brunswick discontinues a ball they clear them out cheap. They go through a lot of different lines quickly. From what I've noticed if it isn't just selling unbelievable numbers they have a replacement on the way and discontinue the other.
I've bought a lot of their equipment cheap and have great results with it. Including infernos and zones. Considering I've drilled a lot of their equipment I can say very safely its a great product. When I can get a great deal on a ball from any company I check the reviews online and then make my decision.

Used my new C-System ball today at the World Championships once the Siege became too much ball. Siege looked pretty good but the C-System gave me more hold since the lanes were burning up fairly quick. Seeing a lot of them in other guys hands too.
Lots of comments on how good it rolls and how good it looks cosmetically.
