    Motiv Recon RX1 Bowling Ball 

    [bowlingball value="8813,i150"/]

    The [bowlingball value="8813"/] is a pro performance sanded reactive resin bowling ball.  It is an interesting color and core design.  I would really like to see this bowling ball on the lanes.

    Brunswick Anaconda Bowling Ball 

    [bowlingball value="8535,i150"/]

    Based on my speed and rev rate, I expected the [bowlingball value="8535"/] to match up well for me because of the polished coverstock. I seem to throw polished bowling balls better because that helps me get the ball further down the lane. This bowling ball was very smooth, controllable, and the color combination worked well for my eyes to see the motion.

    You can see in the bowling ball reaction video that I had a lot of area at the break point. If you watch the video, you can see me swing it out to about board 7 on one shot and tug it to only about 13 on another, and both gave me great looks into the pocket.

    Brunswick Revolver 

    [bowlingball value="8536,i150"/]

    Brunswick has had a couple of great releases lately, and the [bowlingball value="8536"/] is one of them. The [bowlingball value="8536"/] bowling ball looks like a great compliment to the [bowlingball value="8504"/] and the [bowlingball value="8535"/] as it fits right in the middle.

    It rolls great from start to finish and the darker color allows me to see the bowling ball reaction all the way down the lane. As the lanes start to break down from the C-System, I see a great transition ball in the Brunswick Revolver.

    Turbo 2-N-1 Finger Insert Glue 

    Recently we did a video about “How To Install Finger Inserts in a Bowling Ball” and we mentioned that we use [bowlingball value="8808"/]. 

    There are two type of glue that we use on our bowling equipment. 

    This is how we use it:
    [bowlingball value="8808"/] is used mainly for finger inserts.  It is a faster drying glue that does not need much time to cure.
    [bowlingball value="8809"/] is used mainly for thumb slugs.  The slower drying time allows us to get the thumb slug down into the bowling ball before setting.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s called slow zip, but it does harden quickly (usually in 5-10 seconds vs the 1-2 you have with the Zip-45).

    Lane #1 Time Bomb Review 

    [bowlingball value="8740,i150l"/]

    I was thrilled with this bowling ball. If I were bowling in the summer, it would be added to my bag. It was very strong through the pin deck. As with many of the other Lane #1 bowling balls lately, you need oil under the ball. It likes to grab and go.

    Read the rest of my review at bowlingball.com.

    In The Shop – How to Install Finger Inserts 

    We started a new video series at bowlingball.com called “In The Shop.” These videos will give people the information they need to take their game to the next level by allowing them to try different things with their bowling equipment. Our first video explains how to install finger inserts so that you can rearrange the ones you have if you wish. Or you can replace the ones in your bowling ball as they wear out.

    The new Storm Prodigy Bowling Ball 

    The high performance [bowlingball value="8473"/] was released last week.  This symmetrical core bowling ball is a great addition to the Storm line of bowling balls.  My review is available on the [bowlingball value="8473"/] page of bowlingball.com.  We also shot a video available on the same page.

    Brunswick C System 4.5 

    [bowlingball value="8504,i150"/]

    The [bowlingball value="8504"/] is set to be released on 7/12/2010. bowlingball.com has shot a bowling ball reaction video and it looks amazing. I have learned that a symmetrical core is a very controllable ball reaction. Brunswick has been a leader in bowling ball technology, and the new I-Block Symmetric Core shows of their skills.

    The [bowlingball value="8504"/] is currently selling for [bowlingball value="8504,price"/] and rates a [bowlingball value="8504,ps"/].

    Brunswick Avalanche Urethane 

    [bowlingball value="8461,i150"/]

    It appears that most of the major bowling manufacturers are starting to remake urethane bowling balls. With their popular success on the PBA tour last season, there appears to be a market for the older technology again. Brunswick’s entry into this niche is the [bowlingball value="8461"/].

    Storm Tropical Heat Bowling Balls 

    [bowlingball value="8324,i150"/]

    The [bowlingball value="8324"/] is a great value for its price. This lower price point bowling ball doesn’t react like it’s lower priced. Take some time to get to know your game and don’t just purchase bowling balls that hook the whole lane. If you are looking to get better, you are going to want a lower performance bowling ball for those times that the lane is calling for it. Give the [bowlingball value="8324"/] a look to fit that position in your bowling bag.
