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.

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.

hello everyone Brian danielli here with

my good buddy Todd Hollywood Adams

inside the Bowers Mart at Strike Zone

Lanes in Henderson Nevada

today we talk about possible layouts

starting with the Brunswick Defender

hybrid Todd you tell me that one of the

most important aspects uh when preparing

a bowling ball is the layout because

that is what gets the ball through the

pins and you tell me that cover stock is

what gets the ball

to the pins

today we’re going to cover three

possible layouts for the defender hybrid

I see you’ve got some tools here in

front of us not a lot of stuff but uh

tell us about them real quick okay this

is our uh prosex scale

um it what it does is it helps us uh in

fractions navigate uh spans and uh

degrees on this side this helps us with

our dual angles that we’re going to use

for today and I know what that yellow

item is that’s a wax pencil and can you

tell us about the three markings on the

Bowling Ball that are going to come into

play here when you’re marking it up so

here we go

this is the PIN it indicates the top of

the weight block that’s important to

know

where we place it in relationship to our

positive axis point

then we have our center of gravity

center of gravity

the ball is constructed with a heavy

spot

that’s what denotes the heavy spot is

this little Crown here a nice little dot

it gives us that static weight movement

that we would need and then of course

because it’s an asymmetric core the mass

bias is marked for us to help us

navigate our dimensions

sounds good let’s get to it let’s mark

this bad boy up all right

so I’m going to imagine this first

layout is going to be something that you

would use on the lanes that is correct

um so I’m going to use a 45 by 4 by 45

measurement

um I like to use this uh kind of right

out of the box for my bowl speed and my

positive access point it helps us kind

of get a ball to read the lane and

it really kind of gives my eye that

common look that I’m looking for I could

draw almost every ball just like this

now that’s something you mentioned to me

when I bought my first big bowling ball

Big Boy bowling ball was uh knowing my

positive access point and you came out

and you watched me throw you determined

my positive access point is that

something that every bowler should do

when they’re making a large purchase

like this absolutely uh it is vitally

important for the Pro Shop guy to go out

to the lanes and watch you throw a few

shots

um get your positive access point

and uh you know it helps with the

purchase of a bowling ball if the Pro

Shop guy doesn’t do that then you know

your you you might lack a little

confidence in that individual

yeah yeah a quarter

so here we go we got this is for me

that’s how I’m going to drill most every

ball that uh comes my way

um so it’s 45

by 4 by 45.

and this ball is going to get what kind

of uh action for you so this is a like I

said it’s a very readable motion for me

um uh it’s not super skid flippy uh it’s

not super early a lot of the uh a lot of

the the

cover stocks that’s why the cover

Stock’s the most important thing is

because if it’s a little shiny or a lot

shiny

um that’s how we’re going to help uh

drill these balls a little differently

for each individual now mind you this is

for me this is my positive access point

um as a matter of fact uh this this area

right there is my positive access point

um I already have a really rolly kind of

spinny rolly type

throw positive access point

um so again moving forward everybody has

their own Matrix

I love it so we’re going to do another

one here and let’s hypothetically say

we’ve got a high red player that throws

the ball hard maybe you can show us a

layout for a player like that absolutely

I see you’ve got the uh Max tag

absolutely Max Tech a bowler smart Max

Tech

yep and uh I appreciate all their help

love my company they do a great job but

all aspects of bowling as well

so now we’re drilling something that’s

going to be more of a high red player

throws the ball hard

yeah we’re gonna do um

so we’re gonna do

wow

see this is what happens sometimes

during filming you get these situations

where you have to overcome uh obstacles

and uh you know one at a time

um that’s why you keep a spare that’s

right gotta have one around gotta have

another one around so we’re gonna do um

we’re gonna do

we’re gonna do 45 by

three and a half

by 75.

so this is going to be more for the high

red Bower throws the ball hard of course

we’re kind of going blind on the

positive access point making some

assumptions here but this would be good

for uh the type of bowler I just

mentioned that is correct we’re gonna uh

This is Gonna help

we’ll do a a general five uh positive

access point uh five by half down

that’s our

this right here is going to be our our

positive axis point and then

we’re going to measure 2 5

and what this does this layout is rolly

and continuous the higher ball speed

wants to push the ball down the lane so

we have to control how far that ball is

skidding okay so this helps us do that

so here we got uh 45

by three and a half

by 75.

it’s this is going to be

spectacular

for High Rev uh high ball speed kind of

guys so phenomenal let’s uh do a third

layout just like we promised our viewers

and this one’s going to be uh you know

what let’s do a layout for an amateur

bowler like me you’re pretty familiar

with my style and my positive access

point

so how would you lay this ball out for a

bowler like myself

let’s is not quite at the level

let’s say let’s say we have somebody

with a little slower ball speed you have

a little higher ball speed so we’re

going to go there we’re going to go a

little slower ball speed okay because I

want to show you this

um in that case we’re going to do a much

bigger pin distance from our positive

access point okay so in this case making

our again our line here

getting everything lined up

we’re gonna do

uh we’re gonna do 65

we’re going to do 65 by 5 and a half

now the five and a half part is a big

number because we want to get the ball

to push down Lane as far as we can okay

so in this case we’ll line it up here

so then we’re going to do

for our our bottom number this is gonna

this is gonna give us that super skid

flippy motion

for almost every bowler on the planet

up for you people watching at home you

know this is why it’s important to uh

work with a quality professional like

Todd find someone that you trust you

know with countless combinations someone

that wants to take the time to learn

your style of bowling what your goals

are can help make sure that your

investment is best spent and gives you

the best performance for your dollar am

I missing anything Todd no absolutely

correct Brian uh

it’s really important to uh to to get

those numbers and get these bowling

balls correct for

all the bowlers out there

so this is a again here folks this is

going to be um

by five and a half

by 25.

is what this dual angle numbers are so

um this is super skid flippy this is

going to get a lot of motion down Lane

and sideways through the pins Todd I

love it thank you so much for walking us
