Get Twisted Again! The Twisted Fury Solid introduces EnMotion-Xtra coverstock to the Fury Line.

Pin to PAP(4 1/2" over 1/2" up) - 4 1/2"
MB Placement - 3 1/2" right of grip center
Balance Hole - 3/4" bit used, 1 1/2" depth

Surface Preparation - Added Brunswick Factory Finish Polish to Box Surface

What I Was Looking For In This Layout: Since I have the original Twisted Fury, I expected this ball to pick up a little sooner than the pearlized version. I wanted to put this layout on the ball because I was looking for a consistent read and was not looking to max out on the performance.

What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: Out of the box, this ball hooked too much with the surface left at box finish. It seemed to roll really fast on the condition I was throwing it on. This gave the ball a smooth arc down the lane.

I decided to hit the surface with Brunswick Factory Finish Ball polish to get me through the heads easier.

I began the first night of league with a different ball and did not feel comfortable, so after asking a teammate to watch one shot with the Twisted Solid, I decided to switch balls in the 4th frame. It ended up being a good move. I threw the last 9 strikes for 267. I had to say I was more than impressed with the carrying this ball provided. The polish definitely helped to get the ball through the heads, and it made a nice move off the breakpoint.

The line I played with ball was around 15 at the arrows to 8 at the breakpoint. It seemed like I had area in and out when I missed a little left and right. I was surprised at the carry when the ball got to the pocket.

I used the Twisted Fury Solid until the end of the 2nd game when the lanes started to break down. We started to lose oil in the heads rather quickly, so I switched to my Brunswick Smash Zone which is drilled less aggressive. The coverstock is also pearlized so it helped to get the ball down the lane.

Overall, I was very pleased with the reaction the Twisted Fury Solid gave me. I think on heavier oil patterns, this ball is going to work great at box finish. If you are using this ball in league, you are going to want to smooth the surface out a touch. I would recommend using Brunswick's Rough Buff polish on this coverstock.

Just had this ball drilled up today. My arsenal consists of Fury Pearl, Ultra Zone, and Red Zone. I wasn't able to throw the Fury Solid out to my usual line. With my Fury Pearl on the far left dot throwing to the 17 board out to 3 board with an agressive back end. With the Ultra Zone I'm over the middle dot throwing to the 7 board and back in with a smoother back end. With the Red Zone I'm on the second to last dot, throwing to the 15 board out to the 1 board with an aggressive back end. I had the Fury solid drilled up to be a more smooth release with an arcing back end. What I got: I was unable to play any lines with an aggressive hook. I was standing about 5 inches up from the middle dot throwing a more straigter shot - out to the 6 board with a constant smooth angle to the pocket. I bowled 4 games with the ball and averaged 215 with a high game of 236. I only missed the pocket one time due to my own fault( I hit my leg). When this ball hits high flush in the pocket the pins have no chance at all. A very low pocket hit scatters the pins as well. I did however hit the pocket flat and left many 10 pins. That is my only problem with this ball. However, it could have been the angle I was throwing. Due to the fact that I wasn't able to throw the same line as the Fury Pearl and Red Zone, I wasn't able to get as many revs on the ball as usual. I threw the Fury Solid with the box finish. My overall conclusion is that I like this ball. If you hit your mark consistently, you will strike all day. The only thing I might consider is having it drilled up a little more aggressively. I would love to see how it would work if it were drilled the same as my Fury Pearl. Brunswick hit the nail on the head again!

With all of the choices we have to choose from this season, I really wasn't sure where to turn. Seems like there's soo many good balls to choose from. I called and spoke with a friendly representative at bowlingball.com and explained my game to them. They recommended that I try this ball.

After throwing a few games with it, I couldn't be happier. It does just what I was looking for. I play in between the 2nd and 3rd arrows and this ball gives me a few boards left to right when I miss. I average close to 210, and I think this ball will give me what I need to increase it.

Overall, I'm really pleased with my shopping experience here. I've recommended that my friends get their equipment here. For the price and the service you get, I don't think you can go wrong.

I was actually surprised at how well this ball rolled. I watched a teammate throw his in league and it rolled funny ( I think its because of the guy who drilled it, I've never seen the pin below the thumb before?) Anyways, my pro shop drilled mine 4x4 and I'm a tweener. I can use this ball in league for the first two games before the lanes break down. Rolls realy nice and sends messengers everywhere. Glad I decided to try this ball out.

Brunswick has done it again! This ball compliments the Twisted Fury really well. It tends to pick up a hard roll midlane, but man does it pack a punch at the pins! Great ball, you won't be disappointed here.

This ball is great. It has the best knock down power of any ball I have thrown. The only othr ball I have used that comes close to this one is the sidewinder. When it hits the pocket, it has great deflection into the 9 pin, destroying the rest of the pins. I am a 170 average bowler, but since I have been using this ball I have achieved a 201 average in the past month. Even when I miss and go outside it reads the lane and hooks back harder into the pocket. It really makes up for my mistakes.

The best of the fury line yet.This ball is like a good lawyer it gets you out of trouble.Te first day i practiced with it i was impressed.It moves very well in midlane then it takes off in the dry causing a lot of pin action.I was the first to have one in my bowling alley and people on both side of my lanes were asking what is that and some put the order in for theres that day.Brunswick is still showing the competitors why they are the best in the business.

Concerning this ball I have had troubles with leaving ten pins. You do have to change the way you bowl with this ball. I was hoping to keep my same approach and having the ball's gripping cover stock being the adjustment for the heavier oiled lanes.



The ball is fine but you do have to take a different line of approach. Since I have to adjust so much with this ball, to me its almost the same as having to adjust to changing lane conditions with just one ball instead of having the benefit of having an arsenal of balls. I wanted the ball to be more for situational (heavy oil) conditions where I wouldn't have to change my game, but rather just chane the ball, and that's not what I got.
