- Big Bro Burn-Up

First Impressions
The Swag Big Bro Burn-Up comes with an RVR Pearl Urethane coverstock combined with the proven Dominance core, a 2.501 RG, a 0.051 differential and a 0.019 intermediate differential at 15 pounds. The Pearl Urethane System classifies it as an asymmetric ball with a box surface of 4000 grit sanded. The advanced RVR Urethane Pearl surface should deliver durability and precision, and is paired with the tried-and-true Dominance core to produce powerful, consistent performance. This ball is unique in the current lineup with its specific RVR Pearl Urethane cover. Comparison
Visually, the Big Bro Burn-Up strongly recalls the classic Purple Hammer, but it is positioned as a modern alternative. Compared to other urethane options on the market, it offers a unique ball motion with the typically smooth urethane movement through the entire lane, but more backend motion and continuation under the right conditions, even for players with fewer revs. Thanks to the Elastic-E inner filler, it should provide better carry than typical urethane balls. Some bowlers report that they had higher expectations and hoped it would behave like a Purple Hammer. User reports describe it as clearly better than other purple urethane balls. On the Lanes
The ball reads the heads and midlane very well and still retains energy for the backend, which makes it a good choice for bowlers who want to control the lane across various pattern lengths and oil volumes. Players describe it as very controllable and forgiving, and it takes a bad shot to get punished. Its ideal window is later in longer sessions, roughly from game 7 on in tournaments. On sport patterns it proves very controllable and predictable when playing the right side. It runs clean through the heads, holds the midlane well and makes a strong move into the pocket, which makes it especially valuable as the oil gets lighter. On a THS and in league settings it rolls excellently and drives through the pins like a tank.
