My local proshop has the Brunswick Torsion core found in the new Fury mounted on a trophy stand. No matter how you slice it or dice it, this is a diamond based core (at least visually). And seeing the Fury in action on the lanes, it certainly rolls like a ball with a diamond based core. I don't bring this up to start an endless debate over Lane#1 patents or what a diamond core "is or isn't". Just stating an observation having seen the core up close, and the Fury itself being thrown over several games.

And then I ran across this on the web from the following link:

http://www.bowlingballsandmore.com/news.asp

quote:
A Lane #1 ball by any other name is still a Lane #1 ball.

According to a reliable source, Brunswick's upcoming release of the "Fury" bowling ball, just may be the sleeper of the season. The weight block in this ball was designed by Richie S. over at Lane #1 when Brunswick was making their coverstocks. Richie had wanted Brunswick to make the ball for Lane #1, but was told that it was too expensive to make.

More out of curiosity than anything else, if this is true, why would Richie turn over a successful design to Brunswick? I just doesn't make any sense unless he was paid a lot of money for the design work.

Interesting.

Lefty, it's sad to think that someone's participation on the BR forum would keep you from using something you like. Especially if you liked all of it (as stated).

Let it be known that I do not base my bowling equipment decisions on the musings of ANYBODY on an internet forum. If it works for me, I'm going to purchase it and use it.

As for the topic at hand, I am not suprised at all to hear that (even a remotely) similar shaped core in a Brunswick ball reacts like a Bruns-covered Lane #1 ball. Sounds like a "no-brainer" to me. And why would Brunswick not do something similar if they thought the results would be positive? If that's what people want, why not give it to them? Car companies do it all the time. They take a successful design element from another car and apply it to theirs, only changing it just enough to sidestep patent infringement issues. It's no big deal.

The only word that I can think of,is "Absurd", the way this topic has been discussed. After reading the initial post I went to Lane1's site and check the shape of the cores, then I checked the shape of the Brunswick Fury's core. I don't see any similarities, so for me, the issue is just BS.

Steven · « **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2007, 04:18:50 PM »

Dynoboy: So you went to a few websites and looked at pictures. And based on that, you pronounce all the conversation here 'bs'.

How illuminating.

What Lane#1 cores did you look at? Funny you didn't give any information here anyone could use. Have you actually seen a real Torsion core outside of a ball? Doubtful.

Before you label anything 'bs', do your homework.

This is very true about the core of the new Fury. Brunswick did say that they were going to charge a more amount of money to have the balls made. This is when they basically decided to make the core for themselves, because Richie wasn't going to have it made because they up'd the price of the balls being made on him. This in turn would have made the price of the balls go up some more.

Total FURY

I honestly have no issue with any company to use whatever they want .. even if the design is very close to what lane#1 is using .. it actually shows that lane#1 basic idea is true

what I have issues with is those who come here and just run their mouth ... you got your own forum .. go to it and say all you want ... just coming to our forum and running their mouth is not but childish

Storm's Twin V core looks like sort of like a diamond core too, but who cares. there is more to the core than just the shape. Making them look like something recognizable, or something cool just helps sell more balls. It's the technical specs of the core (density, material, mass bias) that ultimately determines the reaction shape.

sorry .. I am not like you .. waste my time reading sig ...

Listen Moron, nobody said anything bad about lane one (unless you believe in Magic). Nobody was talking BS about L#1.

I've tried to have an intelligent discussion with you, but you're not capable of carrying one without you starting to devel into ridiculos theories that make absolutlely no sense in the real world. You're the one that doesn't "get it" and I'd be willing to guess most of this forum would agree with me.

Look up the word Zealot..you fit it to a Tee.
