First Look (Hammer Effect, GB5 and more) | Brunswick March Releases (4K) | Bowlers Paradise

Hammer Effect - The gorgeous appearance isn’t the only thing that will turn heads; the Hammer Effect’s clean and aggressive mid-lane and backend performance is unparalleled in the High-Performance category. The Hammer Effect introduces a new core shape called Huntsman and has physical features that will remind you of other famous Hammer balls like the Vibe and Black Widow, creating optimum performance on the lanes. Along with the new core, we’ve upped our HK22 game with this new version that takes responsiveness to the next level. Once you see what the Hammer Effect does on the lanes, you’ll want HK22 – Cohesion Pearl to be used more and more.

Ebonite GB5 - The dictionary defines a Game Breaker as a bowling ball that always performs and is one of the best values in bowling. The new Game Breaker 5 does not disappoint and will remind bowlers of the Game Breaker 4, but with more continuation. The new GB5 has the same storied core that has carried the popularity of the series and is paired with GB 12.7 Solid. The Game Breaker series has been missing the stronger cover intended for more traction and hook in oil, and that is precisely what you get with the new GB5!

DV8 Hater - Haters are always gonna hate… but there is nothing to hate about this new DV8 ball on oily lanes! The new DV8 Hater is a hook monster and an excellent go-to for bowlers facing heavy conditions and for bowlers who need a little help getting the ball to hook. The Hater has a new core and cover combo; the ultra-aggressive Hater core is wrapped around the most violent version of the HK22 DV8 used, HK22 Havoc Hybrid, and is finished with 1500 grit to bite through the oil. The Hellcat XLR8 and Hater are both made for oil, but the Hater will respond more on the backend for a better angle and more strikes!

Radical Outer Limits Pearl - The Outer Limits Pearl is a pearl version of the original released last season. The Outer Limits provided a controlled yet very continuous motion at the backend of the lane and matches up best on medium to oily lane conditions. By adding pearl to our already great HK22 resin, bowlers will see more skid through the front part of the lane and a much stronger and quicker change of direction at the break point. The RG of 2.499, differential of 0.051, and a lower intermediate differential of 0.014 make the Outer Limits Pearl a versatile asymmetrical ball usable on a wide range of patterns.

Radical Conspiracy - The Radical Conspiracy has the look and feel of the original Conspiracy, but with the addition of the all-new HK22+ Solid cover, we have taken the Conspiracy motion to an all-new level. We have kept the core the same with an RG of 2.487, a differential of 0.056, and an intermediate differential of 0.021. The Radical Conspiracy has the making of a ball that can handle medium to heavy oil patterns.

Can’t wait for the full reviews. But that GB5 looks amazing

[AyooPotatoo]

Love how fast this was released!! Thank you!

[JohnMiller-yifu]

Fantastic preview, can't wait for the full set of reviews.

[Navman]

Like the looks and the motions of the Effect and Conspiracy. That Effect ball is just gorgeous!

[larrytripp]

All the radical balls look great don’t sleep on radical

[jodroogmans]

thanks for such a quick preview after some of these balls only got announced hours ago!

[bgoggin]

Effect looks super core dominant. Pretty fun shape

[CliftonDon]

Nice one Ben! I saw you let the balls do all the talking for this one... GB5, Outer Limits, Radical Conspiracy, Hammer Effect... they all look good, but i am not ready to replace my Phaze 2 yet. It's good to know there are options out there. I can't imagine where this technology will be in the next 1-2 years with the AI Core technology in SPI and HK22 with Brunswick. Smells like success!

[mariansowinski]

That Outer Limits just kept splitting the eight nine 😮

[nell]

As much as I’d wanted to be hyped about the radical conspiracy since it was one I wanted and didn’t get, the gb5 looks most appealing for my game with how much control and predictably it seems to offer.

Drop those reviews 🗣️

[KyleMinissale]

Do you do individual ball recommendations? Just looking for a strong pearl ball to get down the lane when my The One Encore burns up. I throw 350rpm, 17.5mph, 10 degrees of tilt, and can manipulate rotation a good amount.

[UhKimboze]

I commented a while back on the eternity pi video. But for some reason it wouldn't let me reply and support couldn't help me figure it out so I'll say it here. So basically, my supernova has a LOT of games on it and I might retire it soon because it was the first ball I shot 200 with so I was lookin at other big ball options since I might want to preserve that one and use it very sparingly.

[stevekeller]

How does the Hammer Effect compare to the Statement Hybrid ?
Thanks

[batsper]

Love that they are re-releasing the Conspiracy but think there may be too much overlap with that and the Hitter (Conspiracy may be a bit stronger but not enough to carry both, IMO)

[Lren-iblm]

The new conspiracy looks very VERY good.

[thetrain]

Anxiously awaiting the new Conspiracy 😬

[Linny]

Any other bowlers to show a straighter approach?

[Kcole]

tough choice between hammer and outer limits. GB5 looks pretty good. Conspiracy can recover from deep. not impressed with the DV8 hater. maybe he was just missing a little or something.

[BassRacerx]

woah the GB5 was like the anti gutter-ball hard left turn on the friction! The conspiracy looks so damn balanced people have been begging for a new conspiracy for years and radical is on record saying they only use the black color on their best balls! going to be hard to make a decision on what balls to buy this year!

[hysterheister]

What happened to high RG balls? Are they just too niche?
