Brunswick C System 2.5 Bowling Ball!

Brunswick introduces a new cover approach. This new line of performance bowling balls features Chemical Friction Technology (CFT).

After more than 18 months of research, development, and extensive lab and field tests, Brunswick is proud to introduce the new C•(System) 2.5 bowling ball, developed in close collaboration with Hall of Fame bowler Carmen Salvino. In addition to being a legendary bowler, Salvino conducts scientific research and holds multiple patents related to bowling ball design.

As Hall of Famer Salvino explains, “The coverstock was chemically designed to have shaped molecular structures that produce a high coefficient of friction. Because of the shape of the molecule, when the ball goes into rolling friction, which occurs at the back part of the lane, slippage is eliminated and the ball will give you maximum entry and carry. This is the advantage of chemical friction versus mechanical friction.

“The chemistry is versatile enough that even if sanded or polished, it will not change the shape of the molecule. That is the uniqueness of this chemistry. The Chemical Friction Technology in the new C•(System) 2.5 is a difference you can feel!"

Called Pearl CFT 2.5, the red/blue reactive resin cover, finished to 4000 with a micro pad then polished, wraps the "I-Block" asymmetrical core pictured above. The core generates a Radius of Gyration of 2.568. Intro date is September 28, 2009.
