Ice Storm – Black/White/Gold

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 900 Global Ember is a high-performance pearl bowling ball designed for medium oil conditions, featuring the stable Magna A.I. Core and an aggressive RB82 Pearl Reactive coverstock, offering a cleaner look through the front of the lane with a strong, sharp backend reaction and great continuation, making it a perfect complement to the smoother Cove ball for adding punch when lanes transition.

The Mesmerize is the newest hook monster from Brunswick for the upcoming 2024 fall bowling season. This ball is built to easily handle longer patterns and heavier volumes of oil. It uses a new asymmetrical core design along with a combination of technologies to give bowlers of all styles easy hook and lots of overall motion. Brunswick’s DOT system is used on the Mesmerize, as well as DynamiCore2, which was previously only used in the Quantum Evo releases. The Mesmerize’s coverstock is a new formula of HK22 called HK22C – EVO Solid. This new veneer comes out of the box at a very rough 500/1500 SiaAir finish, providing traction through the heaviest oil pattern we have in our testing library. Bowlers who want more back end motion than the Quantum Evo Solid will find that added motion from the Mesmerize. We had the most success with this ball while our patterns were on the fresh side, but we were also able to move in and get it to come around the corner as the oil transitioned.

The Brunswick T-Zone Berry Blast is a vibrant, entry-level polyester bowling ball known for its eye-catching blue/lavender color, durable build, and predictable straight-line motion, making it perfect for beginners learning the game or experienced bowlers needing a reliable spare ball for dry lanes, featuring a simple Bullet core and shiny factory polish for minimal hook and maximum accuracy.
