- Description: PBA Pro Brad Angelo says he's more excited about the C System 4.5 than any other ball in a long time. He's thrown it on 3 PBA oil patterns and found it to be something special! 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.

[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]This ball rocksBy Xanthri from Currently in Bahrain... Reviewed on: 8/21/2010Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friendI have purchased several balls recently and tested them all. I can say without a doubt that once you learn the lane and get the release on this one, it crushes the pins. i have used it on varied lane conditions only lanes that are pretty dry give it problems, on medium to heavy oil you can adjust where you start, then go to town. Whenever i hit the pocket, I don't worry about this one....it's a strike. even when i release a little late, as long as it clears the head pin, i can expect a brooklyn. I will say that i have a bit of trouble with spares because if you vary your speed at all this ball reacts to that speed change. Also when i first started throwing it I was bowling around 15.5 - 16 mph...it would hit hard, but not destroy. I finally got comfortable with my release (I had been working on some grip adjustments around the time I got the ball), my speed came up....and so did my scores once I was bowling this ball around 17-17.5....I have noticed my average consistently climbing up as I bowl more with it. When the lanes are a little dryer, i switch to my 3.5 and it seems to be a bit more forgiving than the 4.5. Really more than anything, it is all about staying consistent, and letting the ball do the work for you....and when it crashes the pins....it makes a hell of a crash....don't know what more a bowler could want.Was this review helpful to you?
