The new Brunswick Siege is the first in their new series of Pro Performance balls and features the new MACE asymmetrical core as well as the new solid Recoil coverstock.
Pin to PAP (4 1/2″ over 1/2″ up) – 5″
Mass Bias – 2″ right of Center Line
Surface Preparation – Left at Box Finish
What I Was Looking For In This Layout: We’ve been hearing that Brunswick was looking to create something that was very aggressive and this was that ball. I was looking for this ball to really move on the backends for me.
What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: I’d have to say that this layout gave me a great look on heavy oil. I tested this ball on a modified house shot with a higher volume of oil. The Brunswick Siege really starts gripping the lane early because I left the surface at box finish.
With the combination of the new M.A.C.E. core and Solid Recoil coverstock, this ball generates a ton of reaction and a very large flare around the ball. I would have to say that this ball flares nearly 7″ for me.
On the heavier oiled condition that I tested the Brunswick Siege on, I stood on the 30 board and stroked the ball out to around 8 at the breakpoint. With the box surface and strong midlane reaction, this ball had no problems at all getting back to the pocket and exploding the pins. I even left a few nine pins which isn’t a bad thing with the matte surface.
To see what this ball could do, I moved right on the approach to try and play a tighter line to the pocket. This line worked well too as the ball did not seem to have any difficulty clearing the heads.
As the lanes broke down, the surface at box finish proved to be too much for me. This is going to be a great addition to my bag for heavy oil. For lighter to medium oiled shots, all you would need to do is hit the coverstock with some Brunswick Factory Finish Polish and it would react great on the backends.
I think Brunswick did a great job in creating the Siege with the new M.A.C.E. core and wrapping it with the Solid Recoil coverstock. I recommend this ball to anyone in search of more hook in heavy oil.

I got my bowling ball from BowlingBall.com, thanks for the great deal. I got the ball drilled by BowlingBall.com since my local pro shop guy has something personal against technology all of a sudden. He came back from some bowling show and suddenly thinks he should charge me $80 to drill my ball. I gave this moron at least a $1000.00 a year in labor, not any more.
The Siege works outstanding very pleased. Shot 787 first night out on pretty heavy oil.
BowlingBall.com did a great job of drilling the ball. It really feels better than my other ones. And FINALLY the inserts don’t stick up. I will be back. Thanks to my pro shop wanting to level the game or something he was whining about I now have a new ball driller and saved $45.00. Comes at a good time.
Last thought, my pro shop guy apologized about not drilling my ball and said he was a little fired up and was misguided for a few days and would love to drill my stuff again, no kidding, he has my specs and spends 15 minutes tops. Drilling and inserts usually runs $70 plus, no more. But I accepted his apology. But BowlingBall.com did such a great job of the professional custom ball drilling that I will stay with them.

The Siege is the most awesome bowling ball that I have used to date. It rocks. I am fairly new to hooking the ball in bowling and took the plunge on a new ball. I am having a blast hooking this thing.
