Brunswick Swarm Bowling Balls

Swarm Specs
Based on our Perfect Scale™ ratings, may we also suggest the following items.
The Swarm combines a pearlized PowerKoil 18 coverstock with the new medium RG Honeycomb core to create a strong skid/snap ball reaction. With its pearlized surface the Swarm delivers good length on all but the driest lane conditions combined with a aggressive and angular breakpoint.
Technology
Aggressive Reactive Coverstock: PowrKoil 18 coverstock is a proven performer that has probably been on more bowling balls than any other Reactive coverstock in the bowling industry. PowrKoil 18 has been used on some of Brunswick's most successful balls including the Danger Zone, Red Alert and BVP Nemesis. Aggressive in the oil and strong off the dry, PowrKoil 18 is a perennial favorite among all styles of bowlers.
Medium RG Honeycomb Core: The Swarm uses Brunswick's new Multi-Sided Honeycomb Core System which incorporates a honeycomb of high and low density fillers to create an optimum medium RG match-up for length and angularity. The Swarm's medium RG helps push the ball through the mid-lane, creating a buzz at the breakpoint that stings the pins.
High Gloss Polish Finish: The Swarm is finished with Brunswick's High Gloss Polish Factory Finish. This finish works beautifully with PowerKoil 18 to create length and a angular back-end.
Utility
•Out of the Box: With its High Gloss Polish finish the Swarm will match up well on medium-oily to medium-dry lane conditions.
• When Dulled: The Swarm's hooking action will increase and its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane conditions and help blend the over/under reactions seen on wet/dry lane conditions.
Reaction Setup
The Swarm can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for two-piece balls, see the drilling instructions link below for reaction characteristics and layout details.
The Swarm is finished with Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish. To bring your Swarm back to its original factory finish sand the surface to 400-grit then use Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish. Available from your local Pro Shop.

BALL FINISH 4000 ABRALON
PIN TO PAP 5" @ 45* WITH A SMALL HOLE DOWN
Brunswick has definitely created some BUZZ with this ball. This ball comes off the end of the pattern with strong angular move. The ball just would not quit no matter how deep I moved on the lane the ball just kept turning the corner. It is one ball reaction you should have in your arsenal. People that have a hard time creating ball speed or revolutions will definitely benefit from this ball. Bowlers that have more than average ball speed and revolutions will find that this ball works well for them too.

Ok first things first.. this is my first brand new ball that has been actually drilled for ME. I am a league bowler with a fairly low average around a 145. I received my ball on thursday and had to wait a whole 2 days to drill it. kinda anxious to get the ball back and when i received it was nothing short of AMAZING. 1st time out with the ball left handed fingertip drill, threw a 191,210,and 214 for a lifetime high of 615 series (old series 496) ridiculous backend, to the pocket every time. AMAZING recovery, and AMAZING overall ball,will be recommended to everyone that i meet.. score out of 100, 100. Bowling Lane owner actually preferred this swarm over his THE ONE PEARL/VIRTUAL GRAVITY/DESTRUCTION, best ball by brunswick out right now.

If its back end snap you want you will love this ball. It does just what its supposed to do,it gets through the midlane great and when it makes its move it really snaps.Just got this ball when it was released and drilled it pin over ring finger cg kicked out 3 3/8 from pap. Rolled it on the shark pattern in pro am and killed it 233,254,278 out of the box. Then today threw it on Typical house shot and WOW this thing really darts
on the back end 268,279,262. although I had to adjust my release in the middle of game 2 on ths to keep it from snapping to hard.If you like a skid snap reaction you will not find another ball that out hooks this ball on the back end.

Let me just say that I am no bowling superstar. Im an average player who rolls in a few leagues and enjoys the sport. I have always had problems bowling with all of these new high tech bowlingballs due to ball speed and rev rate. No matter how hard I try I cant throw a ball over 14 miles an hour. My problem is that I turn the ball like Sean Rash, or Tommy Jones. Combine that with such slow ball speed and you end up with alot of brooklyns and misses. But after some research and the help of Bobby Lewis, one of the best ball drillers in the world, he paired me up with this bowling ball and drilled it specifically for my style. All I can say is WOW. This ball has amazing control, it gets through the heads effortlessly. I have no problems getting this ball down the road. It seems like it will hook back from anywhere I through it. It has very good hitting power for me. As most everything that I usually throw would roll out before it got down the lane, this thing actually stores alot of its enery and does amazing things when it gets there. I would recommend this ball to anyone. Especially those that have the same problems that I do. I hope that this has been helpful to anyone who reads this.

I must say this was a great purchase for me. I have gone from a 132 avg to a 143 avg in under 6 weeks of League bowling. I have hit my first 200 game and 600 series this second half of the season. I have been playing the outside line staying out of the middle. As long as I am out of the oil the ball snaps back into the pocket. Even if I miss my mark a little, this ball has a enough carry in it to leave easy pickup spares.

I just had the ball drilled today and got to try it out. I am very pleased with the performance of the ball. The descrption provided for the ball is very accurate. This is definatly a ball worth getting. You should have it in your arsenal! 100% pleased! I ordered the 15lb ball and it hits just like a 16. The ball is one of the best I've owned. If your looking for a new ball, this is it, and you will not be disapointed!!!

This review is on a great new ball from Brunswick, the Swarm!About the Bowler Bowling Hand Right Handed League Average 210 Ball Speed Medium Style Cranker PAP 4 7/8" over x 1/4" up
The Swarm uses the pearl version of the most successful coverstock in bowling history, the Powrkoil 18, as well as the new medium RG Honeycomb core. If you need a ball that really gets down the lane, I don't see anything on the market that does this better than the Swarm! This ball gets through the heads with ease which helps once the lanes start to dry out. However, once the Swarm gets down the lane, this ball really makes a hard turn. This will allow you to benefit from angles that your competitors might not be able to play. We all love an advantage, don't we? Brunswick is really helping out the bowling community by offering high performance equipment and a great price! With the world's financial situation Brunswick is helping us get the reactions we need for much cheaper! Get the Swarm and "sting" the competition!
Thanks Brunswick for another great release!

Brunswick Swarm Reviewed by: mwallace 10/24/2008 23:58
I just had this ball drilled. My previous high game over the past 30 years was a rare 200, with a 160 average. I threw a dozen practice frames with this newly-drilled ball, then rolled my first ever 200 series. Once I found the line, the pins exploded like never before, and I still had great control to convert spares. I was supposed to go back and tweak the drilling, but now way I'm going to change a thing with this ball. I'm a stroker on dry to medium lanes. This ball is perfect -- just enough break at the end to get great pin action with a 15 lb ball -- but easy to control.

I just got this ball and have to say WoW! It reacts just as Brunswicks claims it would easy through the heads with a stong move to the pocket. I have it drilled to Brunswicks length and backend specs. I bowl on a wood house with ball speed around 16 to 17 mph. The first week of leauge play I was adjusting to the ball 564, second week 633, and third week 701. This ball has tremendous carry when you get it to the pocket. If you are looking for a ball with a meduim RG core Brunswick will help you swarm the pins without stinging you on the backside on the price. Another great release form the best in the biz Brunswick.
