Introducing the Brunswick Hypnotize Bowling Ball: A Fusion of Power and Control
The Brunswick Hypnotize bowling ball is designed to be a follow-up to the popular Mesmerize, building upon its success with enhanced features. Positioned between the Mesmerize and Vaporize, the Hypnotize is a hybrid ball that combines the best aspects of both. The ball utilizes Cohesion within the HK22 cover base, which enhances grip in oil and provides exceptional mid-lane control and strong backend performance. The Hypnotize features a Tri-Elliptic core, a new design that has mass removed around the body of the core to promote optimal numbers and performance after drilling. With its innovative design and performance, the Hypnotize is set to be one of Brunswick’s most successful releases this year.
The Brunswick Hypnotize also features Durability Optimization Technology (DOT), a patent-pending advancement in bowling ball technology, and DynamiCore2 technology which mimics thick shell hitting power and durability. The Hypnotize is a high-performance bowling ball designed for medium to heavy oil lane conditions. The ball has a 2.51 RG, a .056 differential, and a .017 mass bias strength. It is available in weights from 12 to 16 lbs. The Hypnotize is expected to be released February 20, 2025.
The Brunswick Hypnotize’s HK22 Coverstock: Enhanced Grip and Performance
The Brunswick Hypnotize bowling ball features an HK22 cover base with Cohesion, which is designed to enhance the ball’s performance on the lanes. The HK22 coverstock uses engineered nano micellular phase separation technology that improves the cover’s translucency, color, and clarity. The use of Cohesion within the HK22 cover base is specifically intended to provide the Hypnotize with enhanced grip in oil, which contributes to its exceptional mid-lane control and strong backend performance. This advanced coverstock technology allows the ball to maintain its energy through the front part of the lane, while also providing a powerful and predictable reaction when it encounters friction towards the back end. The combination of HK22 and Cohesion makes the coverstock a crucial component of the Hypnotize’s overall design and performance.
The HK22 – EVO Hybrid coverstock is a hybrid reactive material, which means it blends the characteristics of both solid and pearl coverstocks, offering a versatile reaction. The hybrid coverstock provides bowlers with a strong, arcing motion, making the ball suitable for various lane conditions, especially medium to heavy oil. The coverstock is finished with a 500, 2000 Siaair Micro Pad which enhances its responsiveness and ensures a consistent reaction on the lanes. The Hypnotize’s coverstock, in combination with its Tri-Elliptic core, makes the ball a very capable option for bowlers seeking a combination of control and power.
