The Danger Zone Purple Ice is the pearlized half of Brunswick’s dual Danger Zone release. Both of the new Danger Zone balls use the same symmetrical core shape, giving them an RG of 2.501″ and a total differential of 0.048″. While the solid-covered Danger Zone was poured to visually match the original Danger Zone from 1996, the Purple Ice features a new color scheme and a new pearl coverstock. Specifically, it uses the HK22 – PowerKoil 26 coverstock in a pearlized formula. This ball’s box finish is even shinier than the solid version, as it is finished with Crown Factory Compound and Crown Factory Polish. The changes to the coverstock and box finish help the Danger Zone Purple Ice clear the front of the lane more easily and make a sharper change of direction at the breakpoint compared to the Danger Zone. This ball stored everything it had for the breakpoint and back end, giving all three of our bowlers more of a skid/flip motion than the Danger Zone.

Tweener loved his reaction on the fresh medium oil pattern with the Danger Zone Purple Ice. He felt like a power player with the way the colors of this ball revved up and how much downlane motion he saw. His laydown point was around board 18 off his hand, crossing 12 at the arrows while seeing a large amount of area at the breakpoint. Shots that got out to around eight or farther right all finished flush in the pocket. If he missed inside of target with a pull, the cover still created enough...
