People Who Bought Brunswick Evil Siege Also Bought:
The Evil Siege is the second in our new series of Pro Performance balls and features the new MACE asymmetrical core as well as the new solid Propel Pearl coverstock. This is a strong ball that battles medium to heavy oil and responds quickly to friction for great pin action.
Core
M.A.C.E. " Mechanical Asymmetric Core Engineering. The MACE core has three major benefits, Ultra Low RG core system to engage the Propel coverstock, High RG differential to aid in traction through heavy oil and High RG asymmetric differential to quicken the response time to friction. Designed as a two component elliptical core system, the MACE core is dynamically the strongest asymmetric core ever produced for a Brunswick ball.
Coverstock
Introducing Propel Pearl coverstock the next extension in Brunswick coverstock technology. Propel Pearl is a revolutionary coverstock developed by Brunswick to improve the mid-lane and backend traction of the ball on today's slicker oils and lane surfaces. The Propel Pearl coverstock was discovered through testing of new formulation additives and process changes in coverstock manufacturing.
Ball Motion
The Evil Siege unites the new Propel Pearl coverstock and the MACE core to produce a ball motion that is both strong in the midlane and aggressive on the backend. The Siege is your ball when your game needs help battling medium to oily conditions and poor pin action.

What I was looking for in this layout: I used Brunswick's basic asymmetric drilling layout #1 for a medium track bowler on the Evil Siege. By using this layout, I wanted to get the maximum reaction out of the ball as possible.
What I ended up with in this layout: This was the perfect combination of length and backend that I have been looking for. With the pearlized coverstock, I expected the ball to get through the heads easier than the original Siege and store more energy. This held true as tested a few different lines to the pocket.
What surprised me the most was the amount of movement the Evil Siege made at the breakpoint. This ball produced a much more angular reaction than I had expected and was able to recover from the all areas of the lane.
I had a few different lines to the pocket with the Evil Siege, but my favorite line for this ball was getting in and sending it right. I was able to get in between the 4th and 5th arrows at the heads and send the ball out to as far as the 5th board at my breakpoint 45ft down the lane. The Evil Siege had no problems turning the corner and finishing strong at the pocket.
After testing the reaction inside, I decided to see how versatile I could be with it and made a "small" 20 board adjustment with my feet to the right. After taking some hand out of the ball, the Evil Siege worked great from the outside. The Propel Pearl coverstock is very user friendly and allow multiple angles to be played on the lane.
Overall, this is a great addition to the Brunswick line that will give a new look to the pocket. I would recommend using this ball on medium to medium-heavy oil shots for optimal reaction, or as a compliment to the Brunswick Siege when the lanes break down. I'm very excited about this new addition from Brunswick and highly recommend it.

The Evil Siege is just that, evil. It's polished coverstock allows it to go long and be more snap hook on the backends. I tested this ball on a typical house shot using 22 units.
The Evil Siege came of the break point very predictably and was very strong through the pins. Having not bowled in a few weeks due to a wrist injury, I was excited to test this bowling ball and was definitely not disappointed.
Brunswick has been putting together some great bowling balls lately and I know this one will be a winner. Give one a try. Watch our video and let us know what you think.

I was looking for a ball to complement my Siege drilled 45x5x70 so I drilled the Evil Seige 45x5 1/2x70 to get more length and a similar ball motion to my original Siege. The Evil Siege performed better than expected by giving me the extra length I was looking for, but still having a quick response to the friction. This ball is not a typical skid-snap ball, although this ball has a great deal of angle on the backend it is still very predictable. I have had this ball out on our fresh house shot as well as a left over shot from the night before. On the fresh this ball was great allowing me to start closer to the track area while giving me more recovery from farther right creating a strong angle to the pocket and explosive pin carry. On the left over shot I was about 15 boards left of were I was on the fresh. The Evil Siege had tremendous recovery and drove through the pins as strong as it did on the fresher shot. This could become my next favorite Brunswick ball.

The Evil Siege is the longer and stronger complement to the successful original Siege. The Evil has plenty of hook and angularity at the breakpoint, consistent with all of the newer performance releases from the Big B. This ball has a slight read of the midlane on our 40 foot house shot and then it drives through the pins with a sharp arc with excellent continuation. It is around 3 and 1 less than my original Siege. This ball is not your typical skid-snap ball, it has plenty of angularity, but it is so predictable it can even be used as a benchmark ball for those bowlers needing some extra hook in their arsenal. The Evil Siege is also an excellent complement to the new C System 3.5 when you need a slightly smoother ball reaction on fresher lane conditions. Big B has created a real winner across the board. It's time to get EVIL!

I am drilling another one 65x5x25 so it peels off the spot. I will post a review on that one after I throw it a little.
Drill this ball when you need and aggressive ball without that massive hook. Don't get me wrong this ball hooks plenty but will be very useable on any kind of pattern. I's time to get EVIL....Evil Siege is the ball!!!

Prior to throwing the Evil Seige, I assumed the ball would be closer to its counterpart (The Seige.) Much to my surprise, the Evil Seige was incredibly clean in the front part of the lane due to its Propel Pearl coverstock. Despite being clean in the fronts, the Evil Seige still maintained a strong mid-lane reaction with a strong, continuous back-end finish. For me, the Evil Seige is a great benchmark ball in my bag and is good for multiple conditions. The Evil Seige is versatile and can be used when I want to go straighter through the fronts, but is still continuous and maintains its carry when I move left of fourth arrow and create more angle. I have used the Evil Seige on multiple conditions, including Pure Evil (38 feet, 1:1 ratio), house shots, and the U.S. Open Pattern. On each condition, the ball remained true to form and performed consistent from pair-to-pair. If you want a new ball and want to be “good,” go with the Evil Seige!

This Evil Siege review will amaze you. I found this ball to hook harder than any ball I have ever used. It stored the energy until the break point and just crushed the pins. I haven't seen this many messengers since I was 25. LOL
I found this ball to work on just about every condition except dry lanes, which I didn't expect it to. This is a lot of ball and the layout made it much more responsive.
This is 6 stars easy. I think the perfect scale could be a bit higher, just my opinion.

When the lanes get tough and I need something to go to that I can trust will not over or under react - this is it. I have my drilled pin under my bridge with 2000 abralon surface and it's a good match up for me.
Very predictable for those that do not want to see much down lane reaction.
