Performance Analysis

Performance Analysis

The Mesmerize is the solid counterpart to the Hypnotize, sharing the same Tri-Elliptic asymmetric core but with the Evolution Solid Reactive coverstock instead of hybrid. This gives it more surface traction and an earlier read in oil, making it the stronger option of the pair on fresh, heavy patterns.

Who Is This Ball For?

Tournament bowlers and league players who face heavy oil and need a ball that gets into a roll early. The asymmetric core provides the angularity to get to the pocket, while the solid cover ensures the ball doesn’t skid through the breakpoint. Best for medium to high rev players.

The Mesmerize is the best strong Asymm I have ever rolled. This one picks up like most strong solid asymms, but continues like like the upper mid performance balls. I think you will see this one everywhere between the national tours and in the hands of house bowlers around the world.

Bob Newman Aug 13, 2024

The new Mesmerize impressed me right from the start. This is a big asymmetric solid with a new Tri-Elliptic core, & Evo solid cover w/ HK22 built in...... All that is great, but all I am concerned with is does it perform??? Well right out the box it was on the PBA Badger pattern. It dug into the 47' of oil, no problem. Here's where it gets good though. Usually after a couple of games on long or heavy oil patterns, as I move left the ball starts to lose its motion, it's drive through the pin deck. I end up switching to something with a shiny cover that has more back end. Not necessary with the Mesmerize. It kept going strong even between the 4th & 5th arrows. That's pretty cool and kind of unique for a dull ball. I like it. And it is the second four color pour bowling ball joining the Hammer Effect, so it looks really cool too. In the arsenal!

Mesmerize is Brunswick’s new big asymmetrical ball. This ball will easy replace your mindset in your ball. It is a very strong ball for your heavy oil conditions. Even when you pull the ball in the middle of the lane it still has enough strength to get the 10 out.

Hammertime Sep 4, 2024

The new Mesmerize from Brunswick is a very BIG asymmetrical solid. This ball is very strong and continuous on several different lane conditions. It is made for heavy oil conditions, however it rolls very well in league. Fairly clean for a big solid ball, with very strong midlane and great continuation on the backend. You are getting all the performance you can put in a ball. Great new addition to the Brunswick line up.

Eric A. Sep 11, 2024

This is my new “Big Ball” in the bag. Compared to my Extreme Envy, there is more overall motion and continuation. The combination of Solid HK22 with the cohesion additive, medium RG (2.510) and high Diff let the ball hook oily conditions and still have great motion at the back of the lane. I have used it on several non-house shot patterns, and this ball is the first ball I use on the fresh oil.
