The Brunswick Alert is a new bowling ball designed as a "benchmark" option for medium oil conditions, offering a smooth, predictable, and controllable motion. It is built for versatility and to help bowlers navigate changing lane conditions.

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 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 Rhino Red/Black/Gold Pearl is an entry-level reactive bowling ball known for balancing power and control, featuring an R-16 pearl reactive coverstock for easy length and backend reaction, a traditional light bulb core, and a polished 500 Siaair finish for performance on light to medium oil, making it great for new reactive bowlers or dry lanes.
