Brunswick C-System ball review

Pin above right of bridge.

I like this ball quite alot, new core new coverstock and looks like a new reaction.
I'm going to use the term "stereotypical Brunswick ball", the C-System isn't that. The roll usually obtained with a Brunswick is still there, but in a different form. A very clean reaction at the front of the lane but the mid-lane to backend reaction is more pronounced, resulting in a very strong but equally readable backend reaction. I personally think it will work best for most bowlers on medium to medium heavy, i.e. long patterns and or the heavier volumes.
The C-System stores a great deal of energy for a strong punch on the back and very good carry,
down the boards would work but with less tilt.
The surface is easily adptable to whatever pattern you need it for.
Bowlers of all ages and abilities with love the C-System, maybe the start of a new era of ball technology?

Brunswick Wild Fire ball review

Pin above left of bridge (can you tell I like this layout?)

WOW!!! That's the only way I can start with this ball. If you like a big backend and savage pin action here you go. Because of the nature of the layout and the very shiny box finish the Wild Fire is super angular for me, sometimes hard to control but once you find the shot and generate a bit of carry down it's awesome, alot of fun too!
It too is very responsive with hand and rotatation changes, down the boards it works well and further in, coast to coast is also available with enough friction on the outside.
I have used it 3 times at Ilkeston in league, which is now 41 feet and had two 720+ and a 650 between 3rd and 4th out to 7-8 board.
A stronger pin placement will help those who don't want such a quick response of the back and more flare potential, the quicker bowlers may need to alter the box finish?
If you were a fan of the Classic Zone, this is the bomb!!
WOW!

Brunswick Siege ball review

Pin above left of bridge.

In the past the stronger Brunswick releases have maybe rolled too soon for slower ball speeds?
This was a huge benefit for the more pacey bowler, but the Siege is a different animal and will bring scores to a variety of styles.
The bowlers with less speed will love the easier length it gives but keeping great reaction on medium to heavy oil, the surface can be altered very easily to encourage more midlane, or less depending on pattern. The backend is probably the most I have seen from a strong solid from Brunswick? I have personally found it hugely responsive with changes in release too.
For me it's at it's best from around 3rd arrow and in because it will always make the move back into the pocket, normally ending with a strike.
Pin above will work better on long patterns for the slower bowlers, but those with 18mph and above could probably use pin down too?

All in all another great addition.

league night at Ilson

Played in the trio's last night we me ode muckers fad and giddy, thought I would try out my new stuff again. (Rattler and Wild Ride).

I threw them on Friday after having them drilled Thursday, but only mustered up a 645. Not to bad but I wasn't really at the races. Last night different story, no opens, 5 taps, lots of strikes and nig numbers.

Using only the Wild Ride I shot 258-254-258 for 770. What a ball let me tell you!!

I will be posted some reviews in the near future when I have seen them on a few more patterns.
