- Meanstreak

First Impressions
With the Meanstreak, Brunswick brings a fascinating new development to market that impresses above all with its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Meanstreak High RG core, which with a 2.559 RG and a 0.048 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The Addaptive f(P+R) pearl cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The surface, with a 500 Siaair / Royal Compound finish, supports this characteristic massively by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately signals that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover here is extremely harmonious and purposeful.
Comparison
Comparing the Meanstreak to the Brunswick Rhino, the glaring differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Brunswick Rhino tends to read somewhat earlier, while the Meanstreak holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts far more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Rhino starts to lose energy in the pocket or enters too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Meanstreak offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Rhino no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been broken in a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which produces maximum, explosive carry. When the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball allows you to move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you are looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
