For the Brunswick Vaporize high-performance bowling ball, Brunswick took a different approach by not starting with a new core design. Instead, they used the breakthrough Cohesion additive to enhance a more dynamic, shiny performance. The HK22 compound revolutionizes shiny ball performance, and Vaporize amplifies this with Cohesion and Evo Pearl additives. Brunswick paired the familiar Zone Asymmetric core from the Vapor Zone and other renowned Brunswick balls with the super-cover. This combination creates more hook through the lane and retains energy for impressive recovery and motion, providing bowlers with outstanding performance.

COMMENTS

Likes: The new Brunswick Vaporize is a very nice addition to the line. They took the Vapor Zone asymmetric core, coupled it with the Evo Pearl cover, threw in the cohesion additive and some HK22 and came up with a ball that is clean up front and strong down lane. I have not thrown it on our House shot yet, but it looked really good on the PBA 2024 Roth pattern.  I think you'll see a lot of honor scores posted with this ball. Then the bonuses. It smells like a citrus fruit and not stinky chemicals, and if you purchase it soon, you get a free  Brunswick bowling shirt. All good things.

Ball: Brunswick Vaporize
Coverstock: HK22C - EVO Pearl
Core: Zone Asymmetric
Factory Finish: 500, 1000, 1500 Siaar / Crown Factory Compound
Layout: 50 x 4 x 15

The Vaporize is my go to shiny asym currently. With the Zone Asymmetric cover matched with the highly responsive HK22C - EVO Pearl cover, it is the perfect shiny asymmetrical ball that matches up on a variety of conditions and has a long window of use through transition. This is a ball that is strong enough to start league with a bit straighter knowing that as the transition starts and moves left (as a right handed player) are required, it has enough length and energy to continue through the pins well into game 3. I cannot possibly say enough good things about the Vaporize. No buzz words needed, this ball is just really, really good and has a very high strike percentage.

I love this ball.  Great length with the HK22 coverstock with a nice strong motion at the end of the pattern.  When the track starts the burn up this ball shines.  Gets through the front and retains its energy at the end of the pattern.

How does the Cohesion additive affect the ball's overall performance on different lane conditions?

Brunswick Vaporize Written Review

I am a left-handed bowler, 17 mph, 350 rpm, 19 AT, 55 AR, and decided to drill the Vaporize with a 45 x 5 x 40 dual angle layout. I wanted this pearl asymmetric reactive to be a good complement to my Radical Conspiracy Solid, and it is very impressive. The Vaporize features the legendary Zone Asymmetric core brought back from the Vapor Zone and Zone Classic, along with the HK22C - EVO Pearl coverstock featuring both HK22 technology and DynamiCore for more hitting power and longevity, as well as absurd shelf appeal.

I have used it on a 39 ft. THS, and this ball is clean and smooth, giving me closer to a symmetric type of roll but with the continuation of an asymmetric ball. It has more of that “hockey stick” motion which harkens back to some of the best balls ever produced in the Brunswick lineup. Overall, the Vaporize is about the same overall hook as my Conspiracy Solid, but the reaction shape is much more defined down-lane. I also have used the Vaporize on a 41 ft. Polish Cup sport pattern and it really performed well, even with the lower 20 mLs of oil volume. I was able to stay further left longer, keeping my ball reaction in front of me, playing more front to back, which is a key to success on sport patterns.

If you are looking for a pearl asymmetric ball that is both forgiving and gets off the spot superbly, look no further than the Brunswick Vaporize. Available now, you can order from Bowler Builders Pro Shops and remove the frown, throw the crown!!

COMMENTS:

The Vaporize is the perfect complement to the Mesmerize.  This ball gets great length and recovers very well.  The Vaporize is extremely fun to throw and is playable from multiple angles.  It excels when the fresh condition has started to change and has blended.  Once carrydown starts, the Vaporize really shines and recovers well.  This one really grabs the middle part of the lane better than most pearl balls due to the cohesion additive in the HK22.  If you are a speed dominant bowler, this is the long and strong ball you have been waiting for!  I usually use it in the middle of the oil on the house shot or on longer sport conditions with less volume.  If you are looking for length with sure recovery or a step down from the Mesmerize, the Vaporize is the answer.

COMMENTS

Likes: Besides the great motion, I LOVE black bowling balls

Dislikes: N/A

This is a definite improvement over the original Vapor Zone, which is saying a lot.  The Vaporize seems to grab the friction and not let go.  What a strong change of direction!  I'm right handed, and think it's a selling point that I leave more 9 pins than 10 pins with this great addition to the lineup. Fun to roll this one!!
