First Impressions
The first look at the Stealth Mode, it kind of reminds me of the GameBreaker line. Middle of the road versatile piece.

“Keep in mind that coverstock accounts for 70% of ball reaction, but the core creates the dynamic shape of the reaction. Your driller will alter the shape to suit your game.”

Power Player’s Persective
I introduced Jason in the last video. We tested the Stealth Mode after the Paragon Shadow. Immediately you can see the Stealth Mode is a step down. A little longer a little more angularity. The initial impression even felt like it had a higher RG but the reality is it’s almost identical RG and Diff around that 2.5 and .056. Cover also has the same factory finish. So basically you have less chemical friction, i.e., weaker cover and no undrilled mass bias. That creates a clear step down look. Jason moves in a touch to accomodate the snappier look but it’s not snappy per say. You can see it’s a little more sensitive to the house shot cliff from that deep. You can still see it’s a solid cover. It doesn’t have the HK Cohesion additive. This is still a fairly strong ball but will be more versatile for more bowlers due to the medium-high strength of the cover. I would say on paper the differential is a bit higher than I’d want for a true benchmark in that it may make it a touch stronger and bit more forward than I would want to slot there but it’s still got a very nice shape. This is kind of in the Mid Control range. As you check out our next videos on other Brunswick line balls in the same slot, you will see how much variation there can be in this range.

Thanks for watching.
