Brunswick Bowling Products has announced its lineup for fall 2026, with six balls arriving in October and four more landing in November. The releases span Brunswick, DV8, Hammer, Radical, Ebonite, and Track.
October 2026 Releases
Brunswick Strategy Logic
The original Strategy gave bowlers the confidence to stay ahead of transition. The Strategy Logic takes the next step, pairing HK22C2 coverstock with the Dual Centric core for increased length, a faster response to friction, and a cleaner look through the front of the lane. It’s built for bowlers who need to move inside and create more angle, with easier length and outstanding continuation to stay in control as the lanes demand strategy and logic.
Coverstock: HK22C2 EVO Hybrid (Hybrid Reactive)
Core: Dual Centric (Asymmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1000/1500 Siaair, Crown Factory Compound

Brunswick Purple Rhino Pro
One of Brunswick’s most iconic names returns, celebrating the ball that introduced reactive resin to a generation of bowlers. The Purple Rhino Pro’s thick shell design produces a higher RG and lower differential than many modern performance balls, creating easy length and a smooth, predictable motion that won’t overreact to friction. Instead of jumping off the dry, it keeps bowlers in play, controls the breakpoint, and provides plenty of continuation to strike.
Coverstock: Savvy Hook 4.0 Solid (Solid Reactive)
Core: Vintage Light Bulb (Symmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1000/1500 Siaair, Crown Factory Compound

DV8 Outsider
DV8’s Patent Pending No Thumb core technology continues to redefine what’s possible with the Outsider. Rather than designing around traditional core numbers, it was engineered to give bowlers more reaction options than ever before. Change the drilling and the personality changes with it: a taller pin and stronger layout create a sharper, more angular move through the pins, while placing the pin closer to the fingers produces a smoother, more controlled shape for managing friction.
Coverstock: HK22 Jailbreak (F7) (Solid Reactive)
Core: Renegade (Asymmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1000/1500 Siaair, Crown Factory Compound
DV8 Smooth Criminal
The DV8 Smooth Criminal brings a new level of control, combining a lower RG, lower differential core with a smoother, lower traction coverstock for a stable, predictable motion from start to finish. Designed to expand DV8’s No Thumb performance options, it excels on short to medium patterns and wet/dry house conditions where stronger balls can become too responsive.
Coverstock: Jailbreak (S5) (Hybrid Reactive)
Core: Larceny (Symmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1000/3000 Siaair Micro Pad

Radical Vexed Variant
The Vexed line continues with the Vexed Variant, featuring an updated version of the proven Vexed core. The signature 3 to 1 differential ratio that defined the original Vexed’s motion remains intact, while an increase in total differential adds more flare and overall performance. Paired with HK22C+ Solid coverstock, it generates noticeably earlier traction and more total hook than the original Vexed, giving bowlers a clear step up when they need more traction in heavier oil.
Coverstock: HK22C+ Solid (Solid Reactive)
Core: Vexed Variant (Asymmetric), RG 2.49, Diff 0.045, Int. Diff 0.015
Factory finish: 500/2000 Siaair Micro Pad

Track Synthesis Prime
The original Synthesis was built for heavy oil with a strong, early footprint. The Synthesis Prime takes that core design in a different direction, creating easier length with a more defined motion downlane. Finished at 3000 Siaair, it clears the front of the lane cleaner than both the original Synthesis and Paragon Fire, then makes a strong, continuous move through the pins, making it a strong choice for medium to heavy oil and medium length patterns.
Coverstock: HK22C2 Prime Response Pearl (Pearl Reactive)
Core: I-Core 4.0 (Asymmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1500/3000 Siaair Micro Pad

November 2026 Releases
Ebonite Go Time
The new Ebonite Go Time was a standout throughout testing and has all the makings of a tournament bag staple. Built for medium to heavier oil conditions, it delivers more mid-lane strength and total hook than the GB5 Hybrid while still getting farther down the lane than the biggest hooking balls in the Ebonite lineup. Its strong, round, continuous motion gives bowlers a reliable shape across a wide range of conditions and styles.
Coverstock: HK22 GB 13.7 Solid (Solid Reactive)
Core: Big Time (Symmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1500 Siaair Micro Pad
Hammer Reckoning
Hammer already delivers big hook with the Zero Mercy Solid, but the Reckoning brings a different kind of heavy oil motion to the lineup. Built around the new Vindicator core, with a lower RG and increased asymmetry, it starts earlier, digs hard through the midlane, and delivers a strong, rounded motion downlane. It’s an early, powerful, controlled hook designed to own the midlane and keep driving through the pins.
Coverstock: HK22C2 Solid (Solid Reactive)
Core: Vindicator (Asymmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1000 Siaair Micro Pad

Hammer Blacklist
The new Hammer Blacklist is designed to stand out by not standing out. Its black pearl cover and black logos create a sleek, all-black look unlike anything else in the Hammer lineup, yet its performance is anything but subtle. The new Stacked LED core is paired with the pearl version of the coverstock used on the Black Widow 3.0 Dynasty to deliver easy length and a strong response to friction, resulting in a clean, angular motion with a strong, continuous backend, more defined than the Hammerhead Pearl and more aggressive downlane than the Deep Ocean Vibe.
Coverstock: HK22C Cohesion Pearl (Pearl Reactive)
Core: Stacked LED (Symmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1000/1500 Siaair, Crown Factory Compound

Radical Intel Recon Hybrid
Hot on the heels of the strong selling Intel Tour, Radical adds the Intel Recon Hybrid to the line. It features the same core as the original Intel Recon, with an RG of 2.483 and a total differential of .032, numbers synonymous with control and consistency. The HK22 Hybrid cover offers stronger motion than both the Intel Recon and the Intel Tour. With a new cover on a dependable core and pricing in the Reliable category, it’s set up to be a strong seller.
Coverstock: HK22 HyperKinetic Hybrid (Hybrid Reactive)
Core: Modified Intel (Symmetric)
Factory finish: 500/1000/1500 Siaair, Crown Factory Compound
