Brunswick Perfect Mindset Review❗| SPECTO Data | BrunsNick

With the original Mindset being a strong and early rolling ball for the heaviest oil, the Perfect Mindset comes along with HK22 to make this more of a versatile, all-purpose ball in the line! Let's see how it does on the lane!
With the help of SPECTO data, it'll help tell the story about reaction shape, overall hook and continuation through the pins. Here are the SPECTO data points used and definition of each term:
Launch Speed - Speed measured off the hand.
Entry Speed - Speed measured at the pins. (What you'd see on your home center MPH screens)
Rev Rate - Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
Launch Angle - The angle the ball traveled the first 10 feet.
Break Point Position - Board at which the ball was at its outermost position.
Total Hook - Total number of boards the ball crosses on the way to the pins.
Hook Power - Number of boards the ball hooked based on the True Breakpoint.
Entry Angle - The angle of the ball between 51 and 55 feet.
Impact Angle - The angle of the ball between 57 and 59.5 feet.
Pin Deck Exit - Ball position at the end of the pin deck.

I believe the HK-22 cover makes this ball more effective. The Mindset core makes the ball heavy rolling, and with a different cover it might be inclined to roll forward when done flaring, but this ball continues through the pins and the cover stock appears to be the difference. You are right, guys who are speed dominant will probably love this ball. They'll be able to play a large part of the lane and still carry. Great review. Thanks.

[@BowlersRant]

This one is the single ball I am most excited about. My OG Mindset is my fave out of the 25 balls I own between all brands at the moment. HK22 and hybrid? Yes please!

[@b.r.fowler785]

Somehow I knew Brunswick would eventually put HK22 on the Mindset. And here we are. From what I’ve seen, HK22 will be featured on most hybrid and pearl bowling balls under the Brands of Brunswick.

[@GrumpaBaggins]

Reminds me of the OG Infinity, which I loved. My Perfect Mindset is currently being drilled. Can't wait to take it out on the lanes!

[@brackend1936]

Hey Nick, just a suggestion here. Could you do a video explaining zones? I have a general idea but can’t find anything explaining it. maybe on the podcast or a radical rundown. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@brunsnick]

Could you expound a little bit?

[@brackend1936]

At 5:45 you said I think this is a good zone for the ball. How many zones are there? What balls work best in which zone? How can I tell when it’s time to move zones? I have somewhat of an idea but it’s never been fully explained to me. I commented you because you have a great way of explaining things in detail.

[@brunsnick]

@@brackend1936 got it! I’ll work on something! 👍🏻

[@tonyrubaszewski6811]

Love your videos.. Great information.. But here our house shot is 38'.... Would it be possible to do a video with the lanes at 38'? If not no problem.. Still great video s..... Thank you

[@brunsnick]

I can see what I can find in the library of patterns.

[@WhiteBeltBowling]

I'd like to see how this compares to the Katana Strike

[@larrylacroix3944]

Interesting ball

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball Brunswick perfect mindset bowling ball with dot technology drill anywhere technology and dynamic core technology in the bowling ball more strike and spare hitting power at time

[@hackprefect]

Curious how this and the Infinity compare. Infinity core seems a touch weaker and more continuous, but the cover formulation and surface might be stronger and smoother. Depends on how the Evo hybrid additive package in the HK base compares to the AXH one in the more traditional base. Trying to decide between the two.

[@brunsnick]

Infinity very smooth, PM does a better job recovering with open angles for me.

[@ericsnyder4877]

A much different roll for sure

[@stevekeller3643]

Nick, May be unanswerable question here without seeing the bowler. However, a teammate is 1 night a week leaguer rolling my old hand me down Brunswick C system ulti Max. For a typical house shot, maybe 40 ft medium oil what might you recommend ? There are so many balls out there, esp with 2024 being released soon. The pro shop put another teammate in the Hustle RIP . Thanks

[@brunsnick]

I mean take your pick. Tons of options. A good all purpose ball I would suggest Track Theorem or Brunswick Ethos. There’s one asym and one sym that’ll be good on everything.

[@stevekeller3643]

@@brunsnick -Thanks, Nick !

[@eld00n]

I'm a speed dominate bowler, usually throwing pretty straight. I'm between the Perfect Mindset and the Archetype. The lanes i bowl on are pretty heavy and i'm looking for something that will come in early and hard. Would you be able to make a suggestion?

[@brunsnick]

Archetype is definitely more aggressive, so for speed dominant that is what I’d recommend.

[@ericw6043]

Is the US getting the Defender Pearl, and if so, how long before we get a review?

[@brunsnick]

Can’t speak of any future unannounced releases, but I can say if you see it released overseas first, it’s likely not coming stateside.

[@ericw6043]

@@BowlingMARK Wait……. That’s the only thing Nick does??? He doesn’t critique new balls?? Dammit!!! I’m on the wrooooooong channel

[@deithas8148]

Will this ball be suitable for a short pin layout? Considering a brutal collision, infinity, solid mindset or perfect mindset to replace my old short pin trident

[@brunsnick]

Should be okay, you just don’t want the ball to be too slow with that layout.

[@ShimWreckerEnterprises]

Slightly random comparison question - how would you say this relates to the Infinity? At least to my eye, seems like they're in somewhat similar traction zones at box surface with the Infinity being a bit more rounded on friction versus the PM setting up and rolling forward a bit more. Think that's close?

[@brunsnick]

Infinity very smooth, PM does a better job recovering with open angles for me.

[@ShimWreckerEnterprises]

@@brunsnick perfect - thanks as always!

[@xxfree2romexx]

Looking for something to compliment my black widow hybrid 2.0. Would this be to similar ? Thank you very much.

[@brunsnick]

This would be fairly similar, just a little smoother. Might be too close to have both in the bag unless you changed surface on one.

[@normanetodd1993]

So how much surface would you put on today

[@brunsnick]

For this ball, I’d start with a fresh 2000 and go lower from there.

[@spencerrobinson438]

Whats the difference between this and the one encore

[@brunsnick]

I think The One Encore is a bit stronger and earlier.

[@Dhamp]

Hello, looking to add a 1st ball out of the bag for a fresh, fairly heavy oil THS. Currently my 1st ball out the bag is a Defender Hybrid. Would this ball be a bit stronger and a good compliment? Or would they be a bit too similar?

[@brunsnick]

Too close. I’d look at something like Extreme Envy or Archetype.

[@stevecemprola9846]

I have a hellcat xlr8 and a envy tour Pearl. Would this fit in the 3 ball arsenal for anything?

[@brunsnick]

@@stevecemprola9846 yes, I think it fits in the middle very nicely.

[@stevecemprola9846]

Anything out there you think would complement better? I’m a high rev high speed player. Was also debating the verge hybrid, (but symmetrical prob won’t work for me) or even the new piranha instead.

[@brunsnick]

@@stevecemprola9846 I mean it’s pretty asym heavy Arsenal but if you’re high speed I’m fine with it. I really like High Speed from C300 too, fits between with a little more angular motion than Perfect Mindset. Or you could go tried and true Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid.

[@davidfenech7185]

difference between Quantum evo response and this perfect mindset ?

[@brunsnick]

EVO Response was cleaner much harder off the friction than this one.

[@davidfenech7185]

Thank you@@brunsnick ! Always so helpful. Your advice re original Mindset was simply SPOT on.

[@hotshoer916]

But would you get this if you had an original mindset?

[@brunsnick]

They’re very different from one another in strength and shape, so it’s reasonable to have both if you really loved the original.
