Copperhead
The Copperhead targets one of the most popular reactions in the
bowling ball industry, Reactive Solid Sanded. This type of ball
reaction is embraced by many bowlers as the best all-around
combination of coverstock and surface finish. Providing high hook
potential with a controllable ball reactions and good pin carry.
Technology
Aggressive Reactive Coverstock: PowrKoil 18 coverstock
is a proven performer that has probably been on more bowling balls
than any other Reactive coverstock in the bowling industry. PowrKoil
18 has been used on some of Brunswick’s most successful balls
including the Danger Zone, Red Alert and BVP Nemesis. Aggressive in
the oil and strong off the dry, PowrKoil 18 is a perennial favorite
among all styles of bowlers.
Low RG Rocket Core: The Copperhead uses Brunswick’s
Multi-Sided Rocket Core System which provides a low RG to help the ball
rev-up sooner and create tremendous mid-lane recovery.
800-Grit Wet Sand Finish: The Copperhead is finished
with an 800-grit wet sand finish which will allow most bowlers to
match-up to both freshly oiled and moderately broken down house
conditions. Plenty of traction on all but the oiliest lanes combined
with a strong backend reaction. The low Rg, combined with the 800 grit
finish, helps the Copperhead bite the lane quicker and send poison to
the pins.
Reaction Characteristics
•Out of the Box: With its 800-grit wet sand surface, the
Copperhead matches up well on most medium to oily house conditions.
• When Dulled: The Copperhead’s hooking action will increase and
its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane
conditions and for smoothing over/under reactions seen on wet/dry lane
conditions.
• When Shined: With either Brunswick’s Factory Finish
“High Gloss Polish” or “Rough Buff”, your Copperhead will go longer
in the oil and react stronger to the dry creating a more skid/snap arc.
High Gloss Polish creates more length than Rough Buff.
Reaction Setup
The Copperhead can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques
developed for two-piece balls, see the drilling instructions link
below for reaction characteristics and layout details.
The Copperhead is finished with a dull 800-grit surface which
increases its hooking action in the oil. Dull surface finishes can
sometimes hook too early resulting in reduced backend reaction and
hitting power. To increase length, polish the surface with
Brunswick’s Factory Finish Rough Buff. To increase length and
create and even more skid/snap reaction use Brunswick’s Factory
Finish High Gloss Polish.
