The Cove is one of two new introductions into the 800 Series for 900 Global. Both this ball and the Ember use the new symmetrical Magna AI core design, resulting in an RG of 2.49″ and a total differential of 0.044″. The Cove features the RB 85 Hybrid coverstock, coming out of the box with a sanded 4000 Abralon finish. We noticed many traits in the Cove that reminded us of the Xponent and the Ordnance, which were two of our 900 Global favorites from the past. While these balls both used different weight blocks and coverstocks, their overall shapes and motions were very similar to what we saw when the Cove went down the lane.

The Danger Zone Purple Ice brings added excitement to the new Danger Zone line, giving bowlers a pearl option to pair with the black solid Danger Zone. Featuring the same legendary core shape, the Purple Ice is wrapped in our advanced HK22 Pearl coverstock, making it noticeably cleaner through the front of the lane with a sharper, more angular motion at the breakpoint. This ball is the perfect complement to the solid version, providing a one-two punch of performance and versatility at an incredible value. Whether you’re building an arsenal or looking for a go-to ball with a booming backend motion, the Danger Zone Purple Ice will get you in the zone!

The Infinity Quest is the third Brunswick ball to use the asymmetrical Infinity core shape, along with the original Infinity and the Beyond Infinity. It features the HK22C – EVO Solid coverstock that was previously used on the Mesmerize. This aggressive shell is finished with 1500 SiaAir and Crown Factory Compound, giving the ball much more length than the Mesmerize. In our testing, the Infinity Quest performed its best when we were able to play straighter in the front part of the lane as opposed to starting farther left and going away from the headpin. When we had to move inside later in our test sessions, all three bowlers struggled with the reaction shape they were seeing, as the ball wanted to start early and then didn’t have enough downlane continuation. We liked it much more on the fresh when playing straighter, which then let us switch into the Combat or the Vaporize to have more downlane angle and go around the lane more on the burn.

The Brunswick T-Zone Deep Space is a popular, affordable plastic bowling ball designed for beginners, kids, and spare shooting, known for its vibrant, blacklight-reactive cosmic design (blues/purples) and ability to roll straight and true with its symmetrical, "bullet" core for pinpoint accuracy on dry lanes. It offers excellent durability and a smooth, consistent roll with its high-gloss polish, making it a reliable choice for building confidence or picking up tricky spares.
