C (System)3.5

The Brunswick C (System)2.5 16 lb ONLY changed the way we look at the chemistry of bowlingball coverstocks. Whether sanded or polished the molecules stayed the same, which was a huge breakthrough in technology. Well now, the Brunswick C (System)3.5 carries on that legacy, but this time with more overall hook and an earlier roll for heavier lane conditions.

The Brunswick C (System)3.5 registers a 214.9 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale®.

Manufacturer description of the new Brunswick C (System)3.5:

Chemical Friction Technology – Developed with Carmen Salvino, the Brunswick C (System)3.5 is the next evolution in Chemical Friction Technology.

Let the science of friction improve your game!

Coverstock
CFT 3.5 is the next evolution in Chemical Friction Technology. The CFT 3.5 coverstock has a higher friction factor than the original CFT 2.5, which quickens response time, improves down lane traction and increases the overall hook.

Core: I-Block
The new I-Block core was engineered specifically for the CFT 2.5 coverstock to create maximum forgiveness, strong entry angels along with versatile drilling layouts.

Reaction Characteristics
Ball Motion – With its 4000-grit micro pad finish, the Brunswick C (System)3.5 offers a higher friction factor and increased response time to friction alternative than the original C(System) 2.5. The new C(System)3.5 is best used on medium-oily to oily lane conditions when a quicker response motion is needed to increase entry angle to the pocket.

The Brunswick C (System)3.5 has a world wide release date scheduled for January 25, 2010.

C (System)2.5 16 lb ONLY

After more than 18 months of research, development, and extensive lab and field tests, Brunswick is proud to introduce the newBrunswick C (System)2.5 16 lb ONLY bowling ball, developed in close collaboration with Hall of Fame bowler Carmen Salvino. In addition to being a legendary bowler, Salvino conducts scientific research and holds multiple patents related to bowling ball design.

This new line of performance bowling balls features Chemical Friction Technology (CFT). As Salvino explains, “The coverstock was chemically 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. This is the advantage of chemical friction versus mechanical friction.

“The chemistry is versatile enough that even if sanded or polished, it will not change the shape of the molecule. That is the uniqueness of this chemistry.”

The Chemical Friction Technology in the new Brunswick C (System)2.5 16 lb ONLY is a difference you can feel!

With it’s 4000 grit micro-pad finish and I-Block core (designed to be strong and very readable), the Brunswick C (System)2.5 16 lb ONLY will get through the heads cleanly and make a strong and predictable move on the back part of the lane.

Brunswick has really put lots of research and development into this release, and we think this will be one of the best balls they’ve ever produced!

Projected release date for the Brunswick C (System)2.5 16 lb ONLY is September, 29th!
