Brunswick Defender Hybrid, DV8 Verge Solid, Track Legion Solid, Radical Rattler and Innovator Bowling Balls

Brunswick Defender Hybrid Bowling Ball

Over the past eighteen months, the Brunswick Research and Development team has worked hard to develop the next breakthrough in cover technology. After pouring and throwing hundreds of bowling balls with dozens of new base reactive urethane formulations combined with a wide variety of chemical components and additives, our ball team has created something exceptional – the new HyperKinetic22 coverstock.

HK22, as we’ll often refer to it, features enhanced color and clarity by engineered nano microcellular phase separation technology, dramatically improving the cover’s translucency. And through Quasi prepolymer staged reactions, intermolecular friction is reduced to manifest a dynamic interactive polymer morphology with the lane. To simplify this, bowling balls featuring HK22 look better on the shelf and perform better on the lanes with a shiny finish that provides easy length and increased dry lane friction for impressive backend reaction. HK22 is an exciting technological advancement, and we believe this is just the beginning as our chemists continue their work to push the limits of bowling ball performance.

As always, each brand will continue to do independent testing with unique additive packages to supply the market with the broadest range of ball motion in bowling.

The new Brunswick Defender Hybrid is the first ball introduced using HK22. You’ll first notice the shelf appeal and colors of the Defender Hybrid and how they pop; this is due to the new translucent base material. The new base material HK22 creates a noticeable and exciting advancement in shiny ball hook potential, creating more teeth in the mid-lane for a shiny ball and a stronger, more responsive breakpoint. The ACT 3.0 additive package was added to the HK22 base to achieve optimal ball reaction. The overall result is more backend and a shiny ball that will handle more volume and give the bowler more area at the breakpoint.

DV8 Verge Solid Bowling Ball

The DV8 Verge Solid is easily the most aggressive symmetric ball DV8 has ever released, both in appearance and performance. We wrapped our strongest cover, Inciter Max Traction, in a super bright orange and white color around the super low RG Threshold core. We topped it off with a 1500 Siaair finish making this the perfect ball for battling heavy oil for bowlers that prefer symmetric core balls.

Ball Maintenance
To reduce oil absorption and remove dirt from the surface of the ball, clean your ball with Ultimate Black Magic Rejuvenator immediately after each session

Warranty Info
Four years from the date of purchase

Radical Innovator Bowling Ball

We are excited to announce a new category of Radical balls that will pay tribute to Mo Pinel and highlight cores that have not been released yet and some of his favorites. The new Innovator is the first ball introduced into “The Mo Pinel Heritage Series” and features a never released asymmetric core design based on Mo’s patented Off-Set technologies and is appropriately named to kick off the new tribute series. The Innovator has moderate asymmetrical numbers, an RG 2.47, a differential of .053, and an intermediate differential of .012. The Innovator core is wrapped with the newly developed MOtion Magic Plus Pearl cover. The MOtion Magic Plus Pearl cover is a polished cover designed for a strong angular backend motion that many have desired for years. The new Innovator asymmetric core and the MOtion Magic Plus cover yield a strong, sharp angular down-lane motion that will surely turn heads.

Radical Rattler Bowling Ball

The Rattler is a new addition to our popular Reliable performance category, following in the footsteps of The Bigfoot; the Rattler is strong and continuous like The Bigfoot but is more angular with more backend motion. The Rattler core features benchmark numbers for a symmetrical ball with a 2.48 RG and a differential of .035. To get the desired down-lane motion from The Rattler, we wrapped it in the S.H.A.R.P cover. The S.H.A.R.P cover was originally featured in the Incognito line.

Track Legion Solid Bowling Ball

The Track Bowling Legion Solid is not a remake of the original Legion but an improvement on one of Track’s most requested releases. This one features the same proven LT-2 core found in previous releases but with a solid version of our Prime Response Solid cover used in our Proof line. The updated cover gives the Legion Solid the same mid-lane reaction as the original, with an extra kick down the lane.
