Raw Hammer – Blue/Silver/White

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 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 Night Sky is a classic, durable polyester bowling ball featuring a solid black design with silver flakes, offering pinpoint accuracy and a smooth, predictable straight shot, making it ideal for beginners, youth, and experienced bowlers needing a reliable spare ball on dry lanes. It has a symmetrical core, low flare potential, and a glossy finish, providing consistency and a timeless look for all skill levels.

The 900 Global Viking is a hybrid asymmetric bowling ball built for lane transition, blending solid traction with pearl backend responsiveness using its RB 90 Hybrid coverstock and new Strobe AI core, offering a strong midlane read and powerful, angular motion for drier conditions or when oil breaks down, making it a versatile weapon for later games and tournament play.
