The Brunswick Knock Out Black & Blue combines the Melee Low RG symmetrical core with the Savvy Hook 3.5 Solid Reactive coverstock. This is the same core as its predecessor but has a stronger coverstock and finish that produces a stronger motion. Brunswick has also added some sparkle to the coverstock to assist in digging through the lane oil.

This beast kinda surprised me at how many boards it wants to cover the last 15 feet. Even at factory surface it sails through the heads easily so it still has PLENTY of energy left for the pins. I love symmetric core balls with stronger covers. They just seem to be more forgiving when I'm not at peak performance levels. When you consider the price point for the Black & Blue Knock Out it's an absolute home run in my book.
Dislikes: Not one

The Knock Out Black/Blue is the big brother to the original Knock Out. This one starts up a few feet sooner and handles a bit more oil. I tend to use this ball on our house shot when other balls are going too long and I need to blend the over/under out on the lane. The Knock Out Black/Blue is amongst the stronger symmetrical balls on the market and will work well for a variety of styles as long as some oil is present. This Knock Out is predictable symmetrical power.
