First Impressions
The Brunswick Brute comes in a bold color combination of Black and Green Solid. The heart of this model is the symmetrical Brute Low RG Core, which stands out with a low RG of 2.490 and a massive differential of 0.043. The cover is a Savvy Hook Solid Reactive coverstock, finished out of the box with a 500 and 4000 Siaair finish. The core design gets the ball revving up very quickly, while the rough cover should make the ball glide extremely safely through the heads and build up massive traction in the midlane.
Comparison
Compared to the Brunswick Brute Strength, the Brute grips noticeably a bit softer and offers a considerably more stable, steadier reaction at the breakpoint thanks to its slightly smoother finish. Against the Storm Phaze II, the Brute produces a hard-hitting symmetrical motion in oil. As soon as the transition sets in and the front part of the lane dries up, the Brute burns up energy quickly because of its rough surface. It demands enough oil on the boards.
On the Lanes
The Brunswick Brute finds its preferred territory on heavily oiled lane conditions. It is the perfect choice if you need a ball on fresh patterns that grabs hard in the midlane and creates a steady hook toward the pocket. The dependable reaction helps you avoid missing the breakpoint even with massive volume. The ball should maximize carry through its brutal drive. On dried-up lanes, this ball is far too aggressive.
