B&B Bowling Services is proud to announce that we have Signed with Team Brunswick to become an advisory Pro Shop. I personally
have signed with Radical Bowling Technologies as a staff member. Since Brunswick Bowling has separated from the main Corporation
(2015), their main focus is to bring back the prominence of Brunswick Bowling as it was in the 60's, 70's, 80's. Our Pro Shop will NOT change, we will continue to support all the brands (EBI, Storm, Roto-Grip, Motive) but with a little more emphasis on Team Brunswick.
Team Brunswick Has Made a Very Huge announcement. Brunswick's patent-pending Durability Optimization Technology (DOT)
represents a revolutionary change in the way bowling balls are manufactured. Developed by Brunswick engineers with one goal in mind
to significantly reduce cracking in performance bowling balls. A truly innovative approach to bowling ball construction, DOT pins the
low RG axis on the opposite side of the ball. This removes the weak spot in the drilling area, greatly reducing the possibility for cracking
and providing for a wider range of layouts. The DOT manufacturing process marks the low RG axis with a small circle engraving.
Combined with DynamiCore-Brunswick's outer core formulation that increases durability and improves the bowling ball's coefficient of
restitution-DOT produces the toughest bowling balls on the market. Backed by an industry-best 4-year limited warranty.
DynamiCore is Brunswick's industry leading innovation in outer core Technology. This leap in bowling ball technology is a more durable outer material that yields less compression upon impact increasing hitting power and creating an undeniable difference in sound and pin carry. All bowling balls are exactly the same size, but vary from six to sixteen pounds. What's inside the ball has to change density to
accomplish those weight changes. Coverstocks affect the ball from the foul line to the head pin. DynamiCore changes what the ball does
when it hits the pins. To improve pin carry, Brunswick engineers needed to increase the coefficient of restitution of the ball. DynamiCore's matrix is better blended and better bonded together. This provides more rigidity of the outer core material-producing more
kinetic energy. With DynamiCore, you will hear a bigger sound and you will see the pins move more.
We are proud to announced that we have signed with Team Brunswick for the 2019/2020 Season. Supporting the brands of Brunswick,
DV8, and Radical. Come and see some of the Best equipment in the Bowling Industry.
Storm has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Gravity Evolve features the Shape-Lock HD Core (Asymmetric) combined with the
SPEC. Solid Reactive. The HD is short for high density which lowers the RG and raises the differential of the weight block. A higher diff.
translates to more flare potential. Expect heavy roll in oil with this cover stock. The All Road features the Inverted Fe2 Technology Core
(Symmetric) with the NRG Hybrid cover. This weight block allows for a greater amount of cover stock to be utilized, allowing for amplified
energy transfer at the pins. Both available 10/25/2019
Brunswick has announced 3 new Balls to its lineup. The Prism Solid and Hybrid Features a new core "Portal" with an ultra low RG and
higher Differential and intermediate Differential (Asymmetric) combined with the A.C.T. (Activator Composite Technology) cover in the solid for massive hook potential and continuation for any player in heavy oil. The Hybrid has the Relativity 2.0 Hybrid cover for a shiny
high performance asymmetric ball that reads the mid lane perfectly and has a strong angular backend motion. Both Balls out 10/15/2019
The Vintage Phantom features a new low RG and Differential Cynosure core (Symmetric) combined with an updated version of Savvy Hook cover. The Vintage Phantom is not old school urethane, but offers the usability and utllity the original Phantom provided in its
heyday, but a modern reactive version creating a predictable and sweeping motion throughout the backend. Available 11/5/2019
DV8 has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Frequency features a new Adversary core (Asymmetric) with DOT and Dynamicore
combined with the new Flexure cover to create a balance of traction, length, and backend on medium conditions. Every Frequency
comes with a FREE Lime Luster spare Ball. The Verge features a new Threshold core (Symmetric) combined with Inciter solid cover to
produce a strong overall motion. Both available 10/15/2019.
Radical has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Conspiracy Theory features a second generation of the conspiracy core. The core has been modified in shape and densitie to increase the overall performance. (Asymmetric) combined with the new TP-1 (textured pearl) cover to pick up heavy roll like a solid and big backend recovery like a pearl. Also has DynamiCore Technology. The Closer features the
Ridiculous core (Symmetric) combined with the solid Ai-39 cover. This plus DynamiCore creates big hook, backend, and hitting power in
a Symmetric ball that creates that WOW factor. Both available 10/15/2019.
Motiv has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Supra features the Impulse (Primal Rage) modified core (Symmetric) combined with
the Infusion Pearl Reactive cover. This combo was created specifically to push the limits. Combining an extreme dual density core with a sideways pearl cover, the supra is capable of more down lane motion than any Motiv ball on light to medium oil. The Tank Blitz features
the Gear (Symmetric) Core combined with the Frixion + Microcell Polymer cover. This combo is capable of low flare layouts and produces a stronger, more traditional urethane shape, but with far better continuation. Both available 11/25/2019
Storm has announced a new Ball to its lineup. The Phaze 3 features the velocity (symmetric) core combined with the R3S Hybrid cover.
This cover has a measurable porosity that is higher than its predecessor. The increased porosity reads the lane sooner and smooths out the overall reaction. Available 12/13/2019.
Roto-Grip has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Wild Streak features the Mutated Rotary (symmetric) core combined with the
Suretrax-S19 cover. This combo will produce more down lane shape and will excel on medium to medium heavy oil conditions providing a totally different reaction down lane than you are use to seeing in the HP-3 line. The MVP Pearl features the Neutron NXT (symmetric)
core combined with the VTC-P19 pearl cover to produce length and plenty down lane motion. This ball is designed to excel on those lighter oil patterns, as well as those patterns that have transitioned after a few games. Both available 11/29/2019.
As many of you might have heard Ebonite Bowling International withholdings have been purchased by the Brunswick Bowling Corporation. With that said The brands of Ebonite, Hammer, Columbia 300, Track Bowling will now be under the Brunswick Banner. This was done to save the brands and make them able to continue in the market. Brunswick did not purchase the EBI Plant in Hopkinsville, Ky.
The plant was closed by the top brass of EBI (not Brunswick). All 7 brands will now be manufactured in Mexico. It is to be determined
what will happen with some of the other holdings that EBI had such as KR Strikeforce, Robby's, Power House products. Most of the
mid to upper priced Bowling Balls will be discontinued and I do not expect any new releases until April 2020. Brunswick has said that it will take months to get everything in place, but they are excited about some of the Technology that EBI brings to the Brunswick Family.
I will report things as I get them as to the status of things.
Motiv has announced a new Ball to its lineup. The Alpha Jackal features the Predator V2 core (Asymmetric) wrapped with the new Coercion HV3 solid cover. This cover is the strongest cover ever used in the jackal line and it pushes the boundaries by providing more hook with control and devastating continuation. Available 1/15/2020
EBI has started to discontinue some of the products with some of the lower end performance Balls (Turbo/R) getting the axe. Brunswick
has now said that some Products will start to re-appear around February 1st. All EBI staffers are now allowed to throw any Ball in the
Brunswick line.
Here are some reasonable estimates from Brunswick. Brunswick intends to start shipping balls for all brands late February or early March. The plan is for there to be high performance balls in these offerings; however they will not be of the typical EBI technology. They
will have all new cores and cover stock that Brunswick leaders feel will represent the EBI brands well. The uniquely EBI technology that Brunswick purchased (dual cores, special cover stocks, multi-density, special finishes, etc.) will only be released once the Brunswick
technicians (including the ex-EBI people they will be working with) feel they have perfected the process. This will be later in 2020, maybe
not until after Bowl Expo, or possibly the fall. Most of the EBI brand balls will be depleted by the end of 2019. Brunswick has also announced that they have registered all 7 brands with the PBA for the upcoming season.
Roto-Grip has announced a new Ball to its lineup. The UFO features the new E.T. (Equalizer Technology) Core and the new Micro-Trax-S20
solid cover. This core (Asymmetric) was developed to emulate the use of an extra hole since as of August 2020 the USBC deems them
illegal. The built in Equalizer Cavities will help increase midlane motion and continuation down lane. The MicroTrax S20 solid coverstock
is mixed with a higher nano ratio which means more grab throughout the entire lane. Available 1/17/2020
Brunswick has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Vapor Zone Hybrid features the reliable Zone core (Asymmetric) wrapped with
Activator Plus 2.0 Hybrid cover. This fits perfectly between the Vintage Vapor Zone and the Vapor Zone Solid, providing more length and backend. The Uppercut features the popular Melee Jab core (Symmetric) and the new Savvy Hook 3.0 cover. This cover features the textured pearl which adds a little more traction for more overall midlane and continuation. Both available 1/16/2020
DV8 has announced 3 new Balls to its lineup. The Intimidator features the Assailant core (Asymmetric) with DOT and DynamiCore for
powerful hits and durability wrapped with the Inciter Max Solid cover that creates plenty of midland traction and hook. The Warrant features the new Captive core (Asymmetric) combined with the N-Forcer SF Hybrid cover. A higher RG and Differential core plus the
skid/flip from the cover will be what you need to get the ball around the corner when lanes transition and break down. The Glam features
the popular Diva core (Symmetric) combined with the Composite Fang Pearl. This combo will give you a go to Ball when lanes break down and you need easy length and great recovery. All 3 Balls available 1/16/2020.
Radical has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Zing Hybrid features the same core as the Very successful Zing (Asymmetric) combined with the new Forged 2 Hybrid cover. This combo with DynamiCore will give you more length and even more backend recovery
than the original Zing. The Squatch Hybrid features the same core (Symmetric) as the original Squatch combined with the new Hybrid cover by combining the Ai39 Solid and Ai39 Pearl for a motion that is right between the Squatch Solid and Pearl. Both available 1/16/2020
Sean Rash has announced that he has left Brunswick (17 years) and has joined the 900 Global staff for the 2020 PBA Season. Brunswick

Brunswick has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Prism Warp features the Portal Core (Asymmetric) combined with the A.C.T. 2.0
cover (Solid). The portal core with an ultra-low RG and higher Differential and Intermediate Differential and the Activator Composite Technology cover fits right between the Prism Solid and Hybrid. Where the Prism Solid had so much teeth it could only be used on high volumes of oil, the Prism Warp is good across a wider range of conditions. The U-Motion features the U-Motion core (Symmetric) combined with a Solid Urethane. This core has a higher RG and lower Diff. than the core in the True Motion and has a different formula
Urethane cover for more consistent and predictable ball motion. Most effective on lighter oil volume and shorter patterns. Both available
3/06/2020
Radical has announced 2 new Balls to its lineup. The Results features a new core technology (Asymmetric) combined with the TP-1 (Textured Pearl) cover (used in the Conspiracy Theory). The newly developed core technology, Radical was able to increase the intermediate differential and lower the total differential to create a more dramatic motion off the spot but still maintain the continuation and shape down lane. The Ball also features Brunswick's DynamiCore for more hitting power. The Closer Pearl features the same core
(symmetric) as original Closer combined with the Ai-39 Pearl cover featured in the Squatch line. This combined with DynamiCore gives the Closer Pearl more length and more pronounced backend motion than the original Closer. Both available 3/05/2020
