Title: Crown Factory Compound:
Post by: JPbowling151 on July 20, 2016, 02:10:52 PM

I was wondering if Brunswick's Crown Factory Compound is similar or the same product as the previously named Royal Compound, and Rough Buff Polishes?

Thanks

Never heard of it before this. It's on the Brunswick web site:
http://www.bowlwithbrunswick.com/accessories/detail/crown-factory-compound/ (http://www.bowlwithbrunswick.com/accessories/detail/crown-factory-compound/)

Odd that they should say,
"Same compound used at the Brunswick bowling ball factory"
since it has never been mentioned as part of any ball's surface procedure in their ball descriptions, that I remember.

probably the same stuff they have been using. Their compounds and polishes probably not selling so they give packaging a face lift

Going from KR licensed product to in house.  Accessories were licensed to KR like bags and shoes.

So Royal polish and Royal compound came from KR. Now that the the KR/Brunswick relationship has been terminated, Brunswick is introducing their own compounds and polishes and tapes, and etc.??

All accessories were under KR.  I have no idea what they are introducing or keeping in the accessory line, but the name change would be because it is a new product, or at least a repackaging of the product.

So, probably, Crown Factory Compound is really Royal Compound, is really Rough Buff.

I'm tired of testing every damned compound that comes out. Unless someone gives me some to compare to the above two originals, I have no use for Crown factory compound. I won't be buying it. Got enough Rough Buff and Royal compound to last me beyond my death.

Perhaps Nick (Brunsnick) can answer the question and/or maybe provide some Crown Factory Compound to Charlest for testing purposes. Would be a nice jester and we could all learn from Charlest's test results.  Just a thought.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm sure Nick & Brunswick don't need me testing their products. I'd take Nick's word for what it is.
