Brunswick Shark
Brunswick Shark – Straight-Line Power with Bold Graphics
The Shark is a limited-edition, polyester spare ball from Brunswick that delivers ultra-consistent, near-straight motion—making it perfect for spares, dry lanes and new bowlers who want reliable control and striking visuals.
Key Features
Coverstock: 100% Polyester (plastic) — engineered for low friction and straight reaction.
Finish: Crown Factory Polish — high gloss finish designed to let the ball track cleanly with minimal skid or flip.
Core design: Viz-A-Ball light “pancake” style core designed for very low differential and stable motion
Reaction data: RG Max ~ 2.715, RG Min ~ 2.696, Differential ~ 0.019 — extremely low flare potential.
Graphic/design: Limited-edition “Shark” graphics make it visually distinctive.
Performance Highlights
The Shark’s polyester coverstock combined with the low differential core results in a very straight ball path that resists hooking, making aiming and execution simpler.
Because hook potential is very low, it functions exceptionally well for spare shooting or when lane conditions are extremely dry or broken down.
Beginners or casual bowlers will benefit from its forgiving nature: fewer complications in ball motion mean they can focus on form and target rather than managing reaction.
The polished surface ensures the ball travels cleanly through the front of the lane, reducing skidding and allowing for more predictable behavior on the back end.
Ideal For
Bowlers who need a dedicated spare ball or a straight-line option for when lane conditions demand it.
Beginners, youth or recreational bowlers who want a ball that’s easy to use and low maintenance.
League bowlers who face very dry or transition lanes and need a ball that will hold a line rather than hook heavily.
Anyone who values simplicity, control and consistency over aggressive hook and flare.
Players looking for a visually fun alternative without sacrificing reliability.
Why Choose the Shark?
Because it offers trusted brand performance in a no-fuss package: the combination of a polyester coverstock and ultra-low differential core means you get maximum straightness and minimum surprises. It’s built by Brunswick, so you’re getting quality manufacturing and design. Plus, the limited “Shark” graphics add personality and make it a standout on the rack. If your game priorities are control, spare conversion and consistent accuracy rather than chasing dramatic hook, this is an excellent choice.
