Product Description
The Brunswick Combat Solid is the ultimate heavy‑rolling piece in the Combat line, built for bowlers who need confident traction and strength on today’s higher‑volume patterns. Keeping the proven Rampart asymmetric core and pairing it with the HK22C² Alpha Premier Solid coverstock, Combat Solid reads the lane earlier and continues stronger through the pins than the original pearl Combat or Combat Hybrid. The 500/1000/1500 Siaair box surface is tuned for heavy oil, creating a bold, blending motion that controls the fronts, digs through the mid‑lane, and finishes with a powerful, continuous move.
Described as the biggest‑hooking Brunswick ball since Mesmerize, Combat Solid is the most complete, highest‑performing option in the Combat series for bowlers facing demanding sport and challenge conditions. The Rampart core’s higher RG and strong differential numbers combine with the solid HK22C² shell to produce a heavy‑rolling, confident reaction that doesn’t quit in the backend. With a 2.50 RG, 0.051 differential, and 0.019 intermediate differential in 15 lb, Combat Solid offers significant flare and a strong asymmetric shape that excels when you need a ball to create total hook and blend the wet/dry.

A: Combat Solid is aimed at serious league and tournament bowlers who need a high‑performance ball that can create total hook and blend heavy oil and tougher patterns.
