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.

I drilled this ball with the pin 5 from my PAP and smoothed the surface to 4000 abarlon. I got a chance to use this ball on the PBA Scorpion pattern and it rolled tremendous right from the start. The lanes were very tight but this ball gave me some room to play. It has been a long time since I have thrown a ball that started revving up that quickly but still had enough energy to give me some great carry.

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 the OB finish, this ball is very aggressive and will handle long and heavy patterns. I used a used 1000 abralon to slightly smooth up the surface to give me a little more length for a lighter volume 44' pattern. This allowed me to play 11 to 6 and control the pocket. When there's plenty of oil up front you can definitely move left and open up the lane. I believe this is the best solid reactive assym ball Brunswick has made.

I also put a little rough buff on as an experiment and the back end reaction increased considerably. The cover is very adjustable.

The Brunswick Twisted Fury Solid- A name that could mean only on thing; Aggresion. And boy, it lives up to that.

This ball has the same Torsion core in the original twisted fury, but has Brunswick's Enmotion X-tra coverstock, for traction in the oil, and reaction off the dry. Resulting in higher hook pontentials, greater ability to carry down, and more traction on heavy oil down the middle of the lane.

The ball also uses Brunswick's highly acclaimed Assymetric 'Torsion' core, but ever so slighty modified for more twist. Like in the original Twisted fury, the core helps push the ball through the heads and perserves more reaction and energy for the back-ends.

Personally, I love this ball. You can look cool, and kill the pins at the very same time. It definitely DOES hit the pins with force. If you hook this ball right you can't go wrong choosing it.

My only downside is that it has been discontinued. Shame!

Overall, This bowling ball has served me a great deal. It sure it will do you the same.

The twisted solid has the strongest coverstock out in the market... for crankers, the ball needs a weak layout for shorter patterns. The ball i drilled was 3 1/4 away from my pap and fights it's self down the lane. The ball does love the oil and will make your transition from a house shot to a longer pattern easier.

tweeners drill it strong

crankers drill it weak

This was my first really strong ball. I got mine around 4 years ago and I still throw it whenever there is oil on the lanes. The ball holds the lane nicely so it goes very straight off of your hand. At the back end it has a very strong and continuous motion. I had a problem lately on some of the college sport shots. They start out extremely slick, and nothing I had would move. I hit the ball with a 500 grit abralon pad and now its great. The turn starts much sooner, but it is still very strong at the pins, and very controllable. I love the ball, and would recommend it to someone that needs a strong ball.

This ball is nowhere near what I expected. I bowled a 2 ball challenge league on a PBA shot at a local Brunswick Zone and recieved this ball as well as the Power Groove. This ball checks up the second it hits the lane for me which ends up leaving a lot of corner pins. I gave this ball a fair shot but now it is just in my basement. My high game with the ball is only 259 on a house shot, which is a good game, but it shouldn't be my high game after 40 games. No matter what hand position or ball speed I seem to try, it still just hooks the second it touches the lane. A friend of mine with the same ball with a slightly different drilling has the same problem. All of the other reviewers seem to like the ball, so more power to them. I wish it would roll longer and hit harder. It's very frustrating.
