CFT v4.5 Coverstock
CFT v4.5 is the next progression in Chemical Friction Technology. The CFT v4.5 coverstock has a lower friction factor than CFT 3.5 which improves length through the heads and mid-lane without
sacrificing the quick response and improved traction on the back-end.
I-Block Symmetric Core
The new I-Block Symmetric core was created by modifying the original asymmetric I-Block core (which has a symmetric base and an asymmetric flip block) to have an asymmetric base. By creating an asymmetric base with an asymmetric flip block on perpendicular axes the two asymmetries cancel each other out making the core shape symmetric. The core shape was also thinned and stretched to increase the RG min while maintaining the overall differential.
Ball Motion
With its Rough Buff finish, the C•(System) v4.5 will offer a lower friction factor with similar response time to friction alternative to the C•(System) 3.5. The new C•(System) v4.5 is best used on medium to oily lane conditions when you need to use a breakpoint further down the lane with a quick response motion to increase pin carry.
Reaction Setup
The C•(System) v4.5 can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.
Lightweight Engineering
The unique core shape of each Brunswick ball is used for weights from 14 to 16 pounds. This approach to lightweight ball engineering provides bowlers with consistent ball reaction characteristics across this weight range. The same drilling instructions can be used for 12- and 13-pound balls. This is because Brunswick uses a generic core shape with an RG differential that is close enough to the 14-16 pound shape.
The Perfect Scale™: Helping Bowlers Make Better Decisions. Because each manufacturer uses a different method for indicating a ball's hook potential, bowlingball.com developed a way for the consumer to compare bowling balls across all manufacturers.

What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
I did some early testing of this ball with Brunswick and was excited for it to come out for many reasons. The reason I was most looking forward to this release is that it will be the first C System ball to feature a symmetrical core.
I love the asymmetrical world we have become accustomed to but sometimes a good symmetrical/reactive resin ball is just what the doctor ordered.
I was drilled this one difference then the early test balls because based on what I saw I felt this layout would be neutral enough to let the ball motion speak for itself. I expected this ball to handle the lane well and make a strong but predictable move on the backend of the lane.
The vision in my head was a old Danger Zone I had that was drilled identical to this.
What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
Oh joy, this ball was so perfect for me. I love when a ball just rolls good from the first shot you throw it. The C System 4.5 reacted just how you would think a high performance symmetrical reactive ball would...GOOD!
From the first shot I threw on the fresh oil to the last after 2 1/2 hours of bowling the ball reacted the same and my moves on the lane were minimal. Oh those were the days when I did not have to move entire dots at a time and end
up sliding in the left gutter.
Don't get me wrong this ball still hooked quite a bit but there is something different about it. The ball got through the heads with ease and transitioned into the middle part of the lane well. The ball seemed to rev up nicely off the friction down lane and made a very strong move towards the pocket. The ball had enough energy to continue through the pin deck perfectly and it hit as hard as anything else out there.
Compared to the previous balls in this line it falls in between for me. Brunswick is going to better explain their numbering system with this release so we all understand it better. Even though this may not hook as much as your 3.5 you need to give this ball a try and I think you will agree with me that it is a really good piece of equipment.

I drilled my 4.5 with a dual angle of 55X5X35 so that I could create good length and a strong move to the pocket. What I got was awesome. This ball was clean through the front and mid part of the lane but had a very quick response at the end of the pattern. This ball allowed me to keep my moves minimal during the night and never lost its strong backend move.. I must say this piece has a great ball motion with plenty of pop down lane and tremendous carry. Congrats to Brunswick for another great ball.

The C System v4.5 is just what the doctor ordered for those Brunswick users looking for a ball to clear the front part of the lane. In years past the bowling public has perceived brunswick balls to struggle getting down the lane, creating area on the friction, and carrying the rack when being thown away from the pocket. This Pro Performance release is Brunswick's answer to these bowling situations and more! Billy O and the R&D guys have a boneified homerun here. This ball does everything our competitors balls are supposed to do well and combines it with the already documented C System length and pin carry. On our 40 foot house shot the ball is long and super strong, allowing me to play almost any area with speed changes, hand adjustments and ball surface adjustments. I threw this on our PBA experience Cheetah pattern, which was very tight on the corners for some reason, and I had several more boards of area when compared to the other bowlers around me in the bowling center. I ended up shooting 671 the week after shooting 555 the week before because I couldn't open up the lane. The C System is the cleanest rolling Brunswick ball I have ever thrown. I did most of my testing with the rough buff surface but don't let that fool you, this ball is super adjustable. If you need more grip, simply scuff with 2000 siaair and watch this ball come to life. Watching this ball go down the lane it reminds me of one of those past balls of the year from our competitors and it is simply unstoppable. The C System v4.5 is the reaction Brunswick fans have been waiting for. If you are looking for easy length, strong reaction, and predictable power on the breakdown look no further, the C System v4.5 is the answer!

This ball is a must have for any arsenal. It is exactly what everyone needs when they are having a tough time getting the ball down the lane with enough energy to carry all 10 pins. I have found that this ball does everything I need it to do when nothing else will. If my entire bag is checking up early, and I am having trouble getting the ball to the break point down lane that is needed to carry, I know I can not only count on this ball to get there, but also to get back and tear the rack apart.
I think the best quality of this ball is the new symmetrical block. It allows the ball to get down lane and have a good strong move in the back end, without causing over//under (a bowlers worst nightmare). Too many times do I find myself in a position where I have a very over//under reaction later in the tournaments when I get really deep. This ball allows me to get as deep as I want, while still maintaining a smoother move at the break point. This, to me, is very important because the balls that usually have smoother break point shapes tend to leave me a lot of flat 10's once I find the pocket. With the 4.5, there is never a doubt that when it does turn the corner, even though it has a smoother look to it, it is gonna hit AND destroy pins. As I stated before, a must have for any arsenal.

I have had success with the 2.5 and 3.5 on a variety of conditions.
The 4.5 expands my ability to play lanes.
It goes longer than the other two with a stronger back end.
For me this was an important addition to the line because my ball speed is on the slower side.
I think a lot of bowlers are going to really like this one.

And this ball did not disappoint me.
I used this ball for the first time on a 41ft broken down scorpion-like pattern.
The ball clears the front effortlessly and makes a sharp move down lane when it encounters friction.
This ball enabled me to play 5th arrow easily without having to force the ball through the front of the lane.
Other bowlers on the same pair were struggling to get the ball through the front of the lane, but I had no problems.
I would recommend this ball for medium, and broken down lane patterns.
Because the C-System 4.5 is so clean through the front of the lane, the surface would probably need to be altered to use on heavily oiled lanes.
If you are looking for a ball to get clean through the front and make a strong move on the back, the C-System 4.5 is the ball for you!!! Thanks Brunswick

Description - The C System 4.5 combines a symmetrical weight block with Chemical Friction Technology to produces a quick response and improved back end reaction.
Drilling - Pin 5 inches and below the fingers with weight hole on VAL.
Reaction - This ball is just as clean thru the front as the 2.5 but definitely quicker off the spot. FOR ME, if I played the gutter the ball stood up and rolled or if I played the whole lane, the ball consistently made it back to the pocket with authority. If you run into a condition where the 2.5 is going by the break and 3.5 is checking up, this is the ball to pick up for sure.
Overall - The C System 4.5 will be a welcome addition to your C System Collection.
Thank you to Billy O, rep Brian Bever and all the good guys at Brunswick.

This ball was drilled with a 4.5" to PAP with a 30 degree VAL angle.
I
can't recall a Brunswick ball from the past that pushes so clean thru the
heads.
This allows the ball to store plenty of energy for a strong down
lane read and sharp continuous back end.
Because of the continuous back end
motion, this ball transitions into a true roll phase at the pins providing
unmatched drive and carry.
This ball is excellent for playing a wide
variety of tournament and house conditions, as well as broken down patters.
The more this ball is thrown on a condition, the better this ball becomes.
If your looking for a skid snap ball reaction from Brunswick; You just found
it!!!
