COVERSTOCK
The new Savvy Solid reactive coverstock is Brunswick’s latest advancement in performance enhancing additive chemistry. Savvy Solid reactive is formulated to provide maximum versatility on a variety of oil patterns for all types of physical styles. This new formulation produces easy length through the heads and mid-lane, with a forceful backend reaction.
CORE
The new Melee Medium RG symmetrical core features a tall and curvilinear design to provide maximum energy retention. The new core shape produces maximum performance and drilling versatility.
BALL MOTION
With its Royal Shine Finish, the Melee skids effortlessly through the front, saving axis rotation for the backend to provide greater entry angle to the pocket for superior pin action. The Melee will provide extremely versatile ball motion giving you the ultimate confidence to perform on medium-oily to light lane patterns.
REACTION SETUP
The Melee can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric core 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.
