Copy and paste the following:

As a follow up to the C-system 3.5 Brunswick releases the C-System 4.5. With this core being symmetrical and the addition of the Chemical Friction Technology in the coverstock, this ball is sure to give one of the biggest backend motions of any Brunswick ball to date.

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.

The Brunswick C (System)4.5 is currently selling for $99.99 and rates a 211.8 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale®.

Storm Prodigy

I was a really big fan of the Dimension Series due to the Symmetrical core and strong cover. I have no doubt that the Prodigy is going to be one great ball due the same characteristics. The core inside of the Prodigy should provide a motion that is going to be able to be used by many different players on many types of lane conditions

prod-i-gy (n) - something wonderful or marvelous a wonder. The Prodigy is the new cornerstone of Storm's Master Line with a Centripetal core featuring a lower center of gravity to create stronger ball motion.

Our first enterprise was to build the new weight block from the ground up. Showcasing the Master Line, the Prodigy features an all-new Centripetal core design that would make even the most demanding engineer proud.

The shape of the new Centripetal core allows for consistency of dynamic design after drilling. What this means is that you can drill the Prodigy with a variety of layouts and guarantee consistent, predictable results from break point to pocket.

As for the cover, we encased the new core shape with a multitude of options and found the aggressive and reliable R2X Pearl material with E.T.M. (Enhanced Traction Mica) gave us the desired results. Having proven itself with the Second Dimension as Rhino Page will testify, the R2X Pearl with E.T.M. increased the surface profile as verified with the laboratory-quality profilo-meter.

And with a 4000-grit Abralon finish, you are sure to get a clean glide through the heads without sacrificing control of the midlane. You've got the best of both worlds!

In conclusion, Storm continues to develop innovative technology combined with fine workmanship. That's why we are The Bowler's Company.

The Storm Prodigy is currently selling for $129.99 and rates a 210.8 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale®.
