CFT alphamax is our newest breakthrough in Chemical Friction Technology. The CFT alphamax coverstock uses a higher concentration of the CFT additive in order to maximize the chemical system. The CFT alphamax coverstock is the highest friction factor of any Brunswick ball to date. The secret is in the technology which creates more traction with chemical friction instead of mechanical friction. Being able to use less mechanical friction for hook, allows the ball to skid easier through the front part of the lane saving axis rotation for more energy on the backend. The proven Asymmetric IBlock core enhances the CFT alphamax coverstock to create maximum forgiveness, strong entry angles along with versatile drilling layouts. This ball is off the chart! The C (System) alphamax is so strong we had to add a column to the Ball Comparison chart and increase our Hook Potential scale to describe the ball motion. With its 4000grit Siaair micro pad finish, the C (System) alphamax offers the highest hook potential of any Brunswick ball to date. The C (System) alphamax skids effortlessly through the front, saving axis rotation in the midlane to grab the backend for strong response to friction and cuts easily through the pins. The C (System) alphamax can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for asymmetric bowling balls. 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 12and 13pound balls. This is because Brunswick uses a generic core shape with an RG differential that is close enough to the 1416 pound shape.
