Description
Brunswick Ultimate Defender Bowling Ball
Defender Hybrid was the first Brunswick ball featuring the groundbreaking new coverstock base, HK22. The motion was more hook in oil and more backend for a shiny ball than had ever been seen in the Brunswick line. HK22 balls have evolved significantly over the last year and a half. We’re excited to continue the evolution of the innovative cover base with the Ultimate Defender. This ball produces exceptional hook in the oil and impressive continuation on the backend because of the clean and strong nature of the cover despite the dull surface. The Ultimate Defender will be your ultimate choice when combating oily conditions. Compared to the Mindset, the Ultimate Defender will be cleaner and sharper while still handling the oil conditions.
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 base material.
HK22, as we’ll often refer to it, features enhanced color and clarity by engineered nano micellular 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.
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.
DYNAMICORE
The Defender features Brunswick’s innovative outer core technology called DynamiCore. This industry-leading technology is a more durable outer material that yields less compression upon impact increasing hitting power and creating an undeniable difference in sound and pin carry.

No thanks. I would rather not participate in rating.
The Brunswick Ultimate Defender is much more controllable than the OG Defender Hybrid! However, this ball is exactly what the Defender series needed. This ball takes surface perfectly and lane shines to a point where you get the ball motion of the OG. This is a great 1-2 punch with Ultimate Defender to start and eventually transition to the OG Defender Hybrid if you need that extra ball!!
Out of the box it was a too early and didn't do much on the backend, but once polish was added, it became a whole new ball!! Looks great on the fresh, able to play multiple angles and doesn't even think about leaving a corner pin. Really starting to love it and is a staple in my bag.
800 out of the box with this ball. The Ultimate Defender will be the first ball out of my bag on medium to heavy patterns. With the same core as the original Defender and a hybrid HK22 cover at 2000, I can get this ball into a roll early and still hook on the backend.
