Fury
« on: February 15, 2008, 01:33:56 PM »
Looks like I may be getting a fury, how do people like the ball (I did read the reviews, but I am looking for some more highs and lows of the ball)? I will be getting it plugged and drilled for me, a lefty. I have a Black Widow Solid, and Elite Black Label. I was looking for more of a hard hooking ball I could nicely throw out and have it pound back in.

The Fury is one that you'll enjoy once you match up the cover with the conditions you're seeing. The biggest mistake the majority of bowlers made was keeping too dull so the late movement was tamed down.

I agree that you should lay it out strong, but try smoothing the surface to around 2000 grit for a ball that can be used more often. The ball handles plenty of oil, so I kinda' save mine for those conditions and I keep it around 1200 grit.

I have mixed reviews on mine. When I got it my driller polished it for me. There are days I love it and days I hate it due to the polish. Over all it is a good ball. Thought about picking up another one and leave it oob just to try it.

Kyle - take it back to OOB and slap on some Beans sauce, you won't be disappointed.  Be prepared for it to snap on the backend.  May need to loft it a little by the end of game two, game three to delay the hook as the lanes break down.  Or, better yet, go to the Twisted for game three!!!

So overall, people are satisfied with the ball? My elite has a smoother arc to it, so I would like to be able to throw it out (from center dot to the second arrow) and have it arc but snap on the backend. Any layouts that are good for that?

i have the fury 2 infact. i bowl in tournaments. i hold a 185 average in my league. now since i use the fury in the tournaments they have raised my average to 209. insisting i've been sand bagging this whole time. i bowl right and since getting the ball bowl left as well to test if it was the ball or me. and i have come to the conclusion. it's the ball. I bowl just as well left and right handed. i just hope that it does just as well for me in nationals. i purchased the ball for the same reasons as you and i watched other no so good bowlers use this and do extraordinarily well. i hope this helps. it's inexpensive and it works. i also own no mercy, black widow, ultra mega x, dragon, solution, g force, and many others that i have in my closet now. i hope this helps.

Thank you for the replies everyone, it helps a lot. What is the strongest drilling layout for the ball?

I've had my 15 lb. fury since last August and it is drilled strong.  Pin is slightly under ring finger and over 1".  The CG is slightly right of my palm and I have a weight hole drilled.  This ball is slightly polished to 1000 grit which gives me good length and recovery in the backend.  Love my fury and it has strong carry to clear 10 pins off the deck.  I would say it is good on medium to heavy oil.

Anyone have an opinion on the "Mid-Lane Hook & Back-end" drilling layout (from Brunswick's Symetric Core - RGdiff - 0.040 or greater) sheet?

It would be great if the ball hooked early but had some snap on the backend. Or even, the Maximum Hook & Arc layout, anyone use them before? Right now I have an elite that I can throw from the center dot out to the 5 board and have it come in nicely, but thats on a house shot and I am looking for a heavier oil league ball I can toss out from the center and have it hook in nicely, as throwing it out is when I have the most consistent form and accuracy.

I am a beginning bowler and bought my Fury last week. I can say that after using it tonight I am a believer!!!! This ball is incredible. My average went up 40 pins and I am usually a 135-150 bowler. I threw games of 236, 200, 198, 195. I couldn't be happier! This ball is great! Has great hook and really closes hard from the far outside. Couldn't be happier!!!!

Here was my situation at league today. I have the Elite Black Label, and the Black Widow Solid (which I am selling). The Elite was not hooking back enough because there was too much oil, and the BWS was skidding through. So I want the Fury to be able to handle the oil, so I can throw it out and have it still snap back in (as my Elite is at OOB).

The Fury right now is polished up to 4000, should I take it back to its OOB finish, dull, so it handles the oil better. My elite is polished and doesn't come back enough so I am thinking the Fury will complement that part of my game and fill the gap.

Any input on layouts and coverstocks for a lefty low-med rev low-med speed stroker that will do this on a league shot?

I love my Brunswick Fury. I can't believe that control. I averaged around 140 and my career best was a 182. Last night I threw it for the first time and no kidding I threw a 195, 236, 200, 198. I recommend it to anyone! Fantastic ball great hook! It hooks hard with a great back end explosion. I threw six strikes in a row last night only to leave the ten in the 7th. I kept it OOB its a gem!

What's funny is I'm always skeptical about when people review a ball and they say that they have a such and such average, then they bought a ball, and tada - they throw their career high series, or a 300 game, blah blah blah, you get the picture.  Well, I'm a skeptic no more.  Granted I only ended up using my Fury (solid) about half the time on league night, but nonetheless, I threw my first league 700 series.  I'd only thrown 700+ once in my life and that was during practice one random night. I love my Fury (pin under ring finger), it's strong as heck. It even cuts through all kinds of carrydown. It's stronger on the backends than my Black Widow solid, though my BW isn't drilled to be quite as strong. It does need oil, but if that's what you're looking at, then I've got no complaints about the Fury.
