- Description: ACTIVATOR PLUS COVERSTOCK: Activator Plus is a more aggressive version of the original Activator coverstock formulation and features enhanced durability and performance longevity. The pearlized version of Activator Plus coverstock used on the Massive Damage is factory-finished with rough buff compound to create more traction in the oil, increasing the ball’s mid-lane and back-end hooking action, while still being clean through the front part of the lane. The Massive Damage uses a larger pearl additive that creates more vivid colors and provides added length and backend reaction.
CORE: The Massive Damage features a new Low RG Performance core that revs quickly providing mid-lane control with a strong predictable back-end motion.
BALL MOTION: With its Rough Buff finish, the Massive Damage will rev quickly in the mid-lane with a strong continuous back-end reaction that matches up on medium oil lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.
REACTION SETUP: The Massive Damage can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.
LIGHTWEIGHT ENGINEERING: At Brunswick, the unique core shape of each individual 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. At 12 and 13 pounds, Brunswick uses a generic core shape with a RG-differential that is close enough to the 14 to 16 pound shape so the same drilling instructions can be used.

Best Benchmark Ball on the Market By Jared Wolf from Jonesboro, AR
Reviewed on: 8/21/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Extremely versitile, Controlable reaction, Smooth breakpoint, Great carry, Good length Best Uses:Sport patterns, Medium patterns, Benchmark Ball Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Brunswick Massive Damage. Bowler Stats: Speed: 18-18.5 mph Rev Rate: 425-450rpm Tilt: 12 degrees Rotation: 30-55 degrees Layout: 40* by 5.5" by 55" Lanes: Brunswick Pro-Anvilane 39ft THS (19.6 mL) Initial thoughts: As soon as I saw this ball's stats, I knew this would become my new benchmark ball. With the cover/core combo, I knew this ball would take very well to my favorite symmetrical layout. On the lanes: This ball exemplified the meaning of a benchmark ball to me. It is respectably strong in the midlane with an equally strong (but not too strong) backend. Some feel that the backend is too strong to be a true benchmark ball. However, I don't mind the little extra backend for a benchmark ball. I actually plan on smoothing the cover out to 4000 grit, my favorite surface, to give me an even truer read of the whole lane. On my medium-dry THS, I could play around the 4th arrow out to about 7-8 at the breakpoint and had a beautiful ball reaction. A good read of the midlane and a smooth, continuous move off of the breakpoint. With this ball, you don't have to worry about it picking up too early because the box surface still glides the ball though the heads with ease. I could move outside and throw some heat or move way in and swing the whole lane with equally great results (another quality of a great benchmark). I do plan on taking this ball to 4000 before the next time I head out to the lanes. Although the ball works perfectly fine as it is, I'm looking for the ball to give me slightly more read of the midlane for the tougher patterns I'll face. Final observations: I'd be willing to bet that this is the best possible ball that I could have for my benchmark ball and I'd also bet that it would work well as your benchmark. With the upcoming season upon us, you need to have a ball that tractions though the midlane and still reacts on the backend: the Massive Damage does that, even more so after a quick scuff with a 4000 grit pad. It's just an all-around versatile ball at a terrific price, and that's even before you factor in the rebate offered with it. If you are needing a new benchmark ball this season, then this is the ball for you. Good luck and good bowling! Thanks for reading. Was this review helpful to you?

What a shocker! By Farl from Northwest Indiana
Reviewed on: 5/18/2012 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Heavy hitter, Attractive Design, Great Weight, Flawless Surface Cons:None Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I won this ball from a ball raffle, and have never liked brunswick. It was a free ball so I got it drilled up for my first ever night of adult league. Out of the box, i go 255, 279, 289 for my first 800 series. The ball carried ten pins, hit like a truck, and was very forgiving. It held on the inside, and roared back out the outside. Left a stone eight the ninth frame of the second game, and a stone 8 the 11th ball of the third game.Overall, my new benchmark ball. Was this review helpful to you?
