Avalanche Slide

Retro cores and strong reactive coverstocks have always defined the Avalanche series from Brunswick.

Using proven core technology and high quality coverstocks, the Avalanche delivers unprecedented value to the bowling customer.

Core

All Avalanche balls use the acclaimed light bulb core initially used in the Teal Rhino Pro®. The light bulb core and its Danger Zone® modification were at the heart of two of the most successful balls of all time.

Coverstock

The Avalanche Slide uses the brand new PowrKoil XD Reactive coverstock which has been specifically designed to provide extra distance (XD) through the heads when compared to the traditional PowrKoil coverstock. Combined with the light bulb core, the PowrKoil XD coverstock of the Avalanche Slide gets cleanly through the heads, even on broken down lane conditions, while maintaining the strong back-end reaction necessary to bury the pins in the pit.

Reaction Characteristics

  • Out of the Box: With its High Gloss Polish surface the Avalanche Slide will match-up well on dry to medium lane conditions and on lane conditions with broken down heads.
  • If your Avalanche Slide goes too long: Shiny surface finishes sometimes cause the ball to go too long before breaking. Dull the surface with progressively rougher abrasives to increase hooking action.
  • If your Avalanche Slide hooks too early: The Avalanche is at its maximum length surface preparation. You will need to use a less aggressive ball, such as a Brunswick Power Groove Dry to create more length.

“Through the approach, your head should remain steady and your eyes should focus on a target.”
