What's it mean on the brunswick aura paranormal when you select 12# and its says generic core :/

It means they use the same generic core for all of their 12 lb. balls regardless of what kind of ball it is. From their website:

"At Brunswick, the unique core shape of each individual 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. At 12 and 13 pounds, Brunswick uses a generic core shape with a RG-differential that is close enough to the 14 to 16 pound shape so the same drilling instructions can be used."

So if you chose the ball based on the core design, it doesnt apply here.

Thanks what would be a good ball for my wife in a 12# that's close to the aggressiveness of that ball
She has a C300 white dot and a hammer arson pearl she wanted a third ball but a 12 is all she can throw?

Its a bulb core.

Storm keeps the same core shape but they use less dense core materials to decrease overall ball weight

idk if other companies do the same

Ya I'm trying to look at all the balls she likes and see what's what. But that saves me some time with the storm research

No my wife thinks the 12# is to heavy I could never talk her into something bigger then that ;/ I think she prob could but she like to play the weak card from time to time she use to do boxing and ju jitsu so I know she has it in her.
