The Brunswick Mastermind Brainiac contains the Mastermind core with a pearl coverstock that leads to get length through the heads and the midlane with energy and an angular velocity in the backend. This ball has great versatility on multiple oil conditions with amazing power when it hits the pins. This is an amazing addition to the Brunswick line that will not disappoint.

The Mastermind Scholar is a must have. This ball has an amazing clean reaction though the heads and mid-lane followed by a consistent aggressive back end reaction. This ball is very versatile and reliable. I have had amazing success on all types of lane conditions from house shots to medium and long sport conditions. Everyone should add a Mastermind Scholar to their arsenal!!

The Brunswick Nirvana is a must have for any arsenal. The Nirvana is a very strong ball, but it can still get the heads cleanly and conserve a ton of energy for when it gets down lane and power through the pins. I recently used mine on the PBA Viper pattern and was more than impressed; I know that this ball will be making an appearance at almost every tournament that I compete in! This is a must have and this ball does not disappointment especially on longer or heavier oil patterns. The ball motion and ability of this ball to perform was more than I expected and it will impress you as well! Make sure you add a Nirvana to your arsenal!

The Brunswick Danger Zone has returned!!! This ball is very controllable and predictable. From my experience, it rolls great on medium oil patterns and allows me to play to the right longer. For me, I can play the same area of the lane as I would with the LT48 but the danger zone is a bit cleaner off the break point but still conserves energy, I have it drilled pin down under my middle. If you loved the original Danger Zone than this is the ball for you!The Brunswick Danger Zone has returned!!! This ball is very controllable and predictable.

The Gold Rhino Pro is back with a vengeance! This ball has an amazing smooth reaction with predictable motion throughout the whole lane. With the Royal Finish, you will see a consistent reaction with amazing energy when it hits the pins. This ball is definitely one to have and can be used with success on different conditions!

The DV8 Deviant is a very versatile and predictable addition to the DV8 Line. It has a composite solid cover with a medium RG symmetric core. In my personal experience, I have been able to use this ball in all types of lane conditions with great versatility. This ball is very smooth and predictable; you will be able to get a great read of what the lane is doing, but will still pack a punch when it hits the pins. This ball is defiantly more than the price point shows, it will not disappoint!

The DV8 Deviant Pearl is the new addition to the Deviant line. The Deviant Pearl is longer than the original Deviant with a strong backend. This ball allows me to close me angles and play more up the lane. I have had some great success on medium-dry oil patterns. This ball is very predictable with a continuous motion off of the break point with great energy.

The Diva Divine has the Class 7G Hybrid Coverstock. This ball is the strongest symmetric in the diva line. The Diva Divine is vey versatile and I have personally been able to use mine in a number of different lane conditions. If you loved the original Diva but wanted even more reaction the the Diva Divine is the ball for you!

The DV8 Freakshow is a must have benchmark ball this season. This is one of the most versatile and reliable bowling balls that I have ever carried in my bag. For myself, I can use this ball on high friction and open up the lane while conserving energy or square up my angles on medium to heavy oil conditions. This ball is at a great price point and is a must have for every bowler!

The DV8 Freakshow Solid is an absolute beast! The amount of hook that you can get out of this symmetrical ball is amazing, especially for the price point. I would say that it is at least 10 boards more than the original freakshow. It is very clean through the midlane with a strong backend motion that is versatile on all types of lane conditions. The Freakshow Solid does not disappoint!

The DV8 Grudge is a must have!! The Grudge provides maximum hook with a great amount of energy through the pins. This ball is smooth through the mid lane and angular off the breaking point. The new composite cover stock technology gives you better traction in heavier oil volumes. This ball works best on heavier conditions but can be used on house patterns if you change your angles.

The DV8 Grudge Hybrid is the newest release in the Grudge line. For me, this ball picks up in my midlane sooner than my grudge and is smoother off the breaking point. I can close up my angles more with this ball than with my Grudge, and I am seeing a smoother reaction throughout the whole lane.

The DV8 Grudge Pearl is a great addition to the Grudge Line! The Grudge Pearl for me is less angular than the original Grudge (I use the Pearl at box finish and keep my original Grudge at 1000 Grit). This ball is very clean throughout the lane with great back end motion that retains energy through the pins. Plus this ball is gorgeous and very eye catching going down the lane!

The Hooligan Taunt is a pearl symmetric that is an amazing ball, especially for this price range. You will see the best reaction on light to medium oil conditions. In my experience, this ball is very controllable and predictable. This ball allows me to be able to stay more square at the line and gives me a chance to stay further to the right with great length and flip toward the pins. Compared to the original Hooligan, the Taunt will start to roll a little sooner and is great for when you see wet/dry conditions.

The Thug Corrupt is a must for anyone looking to maximize their hook and flip potential. This ball features a brand new hybrid composite coverstock and is the most aggressive ball to date. If you loved the Thug than you will love this ball! The Thug Corrupt will be about 2-6 boards more than the Thug and will provide more versatility on higher patterns.

The DV8 Thug Life is a great addition to the DV8 Company as a whole. This ball has an amazing pearl composite cover that is combined with the Thug Low RG Asymmetric core. You will see high hook potential with medium length. I did personally shine mine up a little more to get a few more feet of length and I am very impressed with how the ball reacts. The Thug Life is ideal for medium to heavy oil conditions. This is a great compliment to the rest of the Thug Life.

The Thug Unruly has the Class 13G Solid Reactive Coverstock. This ball has the highest hook potential to date and will give you aggressive down lane reaction in medium to heavy conditions. The hook potential that I have personally seen out of this ball is absolutely amazing, the Thug Unruly will not disappoint!

The Vandal features a new composite pearl coverstock. This ball is made to give you versatility on all types of oil patterns and lane surfaces. If you are looking for a ball to give you a big bang for your dollar then this is the ball! The asymmetric core should give you great length through the heads and mid-lane followed by flip on the backend.

The DV8 Vandal Smash is a benchmark ball in my bag! The Vandal Smash rolls earlier than my Vandal but is still strong and controllable on the backend and maintains energy through the pins. I can use the Vandal Smash on all types of oil patterns with success! It is very versatile with more overall hook than the original Vandal.
