Raw Hammer – Black

The Danger Zone is back and better than ever. Originally introduced in 1996, the Danger Zone became one of the most iconic and best-selling balls in Brunswick history. Thirty years later, we’re honoring that legacy with a modern update designed for today’s game. The new Danger Zone features the same proven core shape that made the original a legend, now paired with our advanced HK22 coverstock technology to deliver stronger performance and versatility for today’s lane conditions, and will be a house shot killer. This release not only celebrates the past, but also launches an all-new Danger Zone line, engineered to exceed expectations at a price point that screams value. The Danger Zone is once again sure to become a staple in the Brunswick line and a must-have for bowlers everywhere.

The Brunswick Ethos Solid is the third entry into the Ethos line. It uses the same symmetrical Ethos core shape as the previous two Ethos releases, which gives it an RG of 2.481″ and a total differential of 0.053″. This ball uses the SH 4.0 Solid coverstock, coming out of the box at a dull 500/2000 SiaAir finish. This is the same coverstock that was used on the Knock Out Bruiser from a few years ago. With a slightly higher differential compared to the Knock Out Bruiser, along with a duller box finish, our testers saw more total hook from the Ethos Solid. In the current lineup, only the asymmetrical Hypnotize and Mesmerize provided more recovery and overall motion for us. The more oil that was on the lane, the better our looks were with the Ethos Solid.

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 Vaporize is a high-performance pearl bowling ball using the classic Zone Asymmetric core with modern tech: an HK22-based EVO Pearl coverstock featuring Cohesion & Evo additives for strong mid-lane traction and a powerful backend reaction, plus DynamiCore2 for durability and hitting power, designed for medium-oil conditions for bowlers seeking strong, smooth, and consistent motion with enhanced hooking potential.
