    900 Global Bounty Bowling Ball Reaction Video 

    [bowlingball value="6912,i150"/]

    I must admit that when I first got the [bowlingball value="6912"/] bowling ball, I was a little skepticle. 900 Global is a relatively new manufacturer that didn’t want to deal with Internet companies such as bowlingball.com in the beginning, so we had not tried any of their equipment. Wow, I am happy that they have changed their mind. The [bowlingball value="6912"/] is one of my favorite bowling balls in my arsenal right now.

    New Release: Brunswick Wild Ride 

    Get ready for a Wild Ride…

    Brunswick’s next high performance release is set to take the bowling industry for one. Keep an eye out for our next video being shot 1/15/2009. We should have it available the following week.

    [bowlingball value="6937"/] ConneXion!! The Wild Ride introduces ConneXion™, the new coverstock by Brunswick, that provides the wildest response at the break point ever seen in a Brunswick ball.

    Core

    The [bowlingball value="6937"/] migrates the proven medium RG Torsion Asymmetric core into the High Performance price point. This core/coverstock combination allows the Wild Ride to skid easily through the front part of the lane, dig in aggressively at the end of the mid-lane, then stick strong to to the back-end providing powerful traction hooking action off the break point. The ConneXion coverstock united with the familiar Torsion Asymmetric core provides a ride that is unbelievably wild.

    Coverstock

    Eighteen months in development, the new ConneXion coverstock has been fine-tuned to adhere to the lane providing unbelievable traction response from foul line to head pin. The [bowlingball value="6937"/] pushes easily through the heads, staying on line to target on both light and heavy oil conditions; both when the lanes are freshly oiled or when they’ve broken down. The wild side of the ConneXion coverstock comes alive when the ball reaches the end of the oil pattern and then aggressively connects to the back-ends. The traction created provides a strong recoil reaction to the pocket that results in the most angular skid-snap reaction ever produced in a Brunswick ball. The aggressive connection of the Wild Ride to the lane surface inspires the confidence in the ball reaction that allows bowlers to play the lanes the way they want to.

    I Shot 647 in my Bowling League Last Night 

    While this isn’t my high series, it is for AMF Deltona Lanes.

    I started the night with my [bowlingball value="4444"/]. I love the way this ball rolls when 1) I roll it well, and 2) the lanes accept it. It goes so long and because of the solid black, you can see the transition so well. So I shot a 201 first game.

    Second game I changed to the [bowlingball value="6811"/]. With a couple of really bad shots I squeeked out a 195. So going into the third game I was -4.

    Note: What do I mean by -4? Most bowlers base scores on a 200 average. So after game one, I was +1. Game two I was -5, so I was averaging -4. So I needed to shoot 204 in the third game to shoot 600. Back to my bowling now…

    In the third game a continued to use the [bowlingball value="6811"/]. I started spare in the first frame, and strike in the second. In the third frame I decided to just throw the bowling ball into the gutter on the first ball. Somehow I rebounded a almost ran the sheet. I struck through the second ball in the tenth. My final score for the third game was 252, giving me a 647 series.

      But the gray boards are so much bigger and easier to hit.

      But thank you on the congrats. I am really working hard on my game. I spent this past weekend working on the approach. Went from an S6 sole to an S2 sole.
