Some might argue that the original Brunswick Mindset was the epitome of perfection – a ball that gripped onto the oil and never let go. In fact, Brunswick pro bowlers held it in high regard, making it their preferred choice for achieving substantial hooking during the tour season. Possessing the perfect mindset requires confidence, and that confidence is born from wielding the ideal bowling ball. The Brunswick Perfect Mindset is the result of combining the HK22 – Evolution Hybrid coverstock with the Mindset core, creating a concoction of confidence. Bowlers who previously found the Mindset overpowering when faced with lanes lacking sufficient oil or requiring increased length and recovery will now discover newfound assurance and enhanced success with the Perfect Mindset.

Likes: The Brunswick Perfect Mindset is a nice follow up to last season's very popular Mindset. This time Brunswick went with the Evolution hybrid cover that is also infused with HK22. Rather than adding a polish or compound they gave it a final sanding of 3000 to give it a bit of shine. Those factors allow the ball good length down the lane before the Mindset core & HK22 get the ball moving towards the pocket. I would consider this ball to be my asymmetric benchmark ball and first ball out the bag. Nice piece to work with.

The Perfect Mindset is a slightly cleaner quicker responding version of the Original Mindset.  This ball is better suited for bowlers looking to play further in the oil on fresher conditions.  I can also see this ball working well for bowlers with faster speeds on house shots.  This is a very strong ball that needs oil but is still pretty versatile.  Overall, the Perfect Mindset is a great choice for oilier conditions and more speed dominant bowlers.
