Recently we did a video about “How To Install Finger Inserts in a Bowling Ball” and we mentioned that we use Turbo 2-N-1 Grips Zip-Plus 45 Glue. 

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

This is how we use it:
Turbo 2-N-1 Grips Zip-Plus 45 Glue is used mainly for finger inserts.  It is a faster drying glue that does not need much time to cure.
Turbo 2-N-1 Grips Slo-Zip Adhesive Glue 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).

As a programmer, I am constantly amazed at search engine technology.  Doing a search for Circle Bowling Shoes often turns up irrelavant results.  Maybe not irrelavant, but many of the top resulting e-commerce sites only have one or two styles.  And each of those will only be available in one or two sizes.

Bowlingball.com has thousands of pairs of Cirlce Bowling Shoes available at unbelievable prices.  There are so many colors to choose from for men, women, and children.

Strom came out with their new Storm Invasion.  I edited and posted the video a couple of weeks ago and am upset that my wrist was still hurting and I did not get a chance to throw this one.  Brian Halstrom loved it during testing and decided to throw it in league that week, shooting a whopping 781.

This bowling ball ranks 217.9 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale™ and current sells for $139.99 on bowlingball.com.

The Roto Grip Mutant Cell is the next in the Cell line of bowling balls.  The 217.5 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale™ is one of the strongest bowling balls to come out.  You are going to want oil under this bowling ball or a little polish on the sanded Cytoplasmic XL coverstock as it is meant for Heavy Oil.

Mutant Cell

The Storm Furious is going to be released later in May 2009 and is part of the Storm Fast and the Storm Furious duo. While it may be a cute play on words from the movie, they are two really great bowling balls. Check out video for the Storm Furious below.

The Storm Fast was a blast to throw. We don’t get a chance to shoot many videos for the mid performance line, and I was actually quite happy to get this chance. I do not know if you can really classify the Storm Fast and the Storm Furious as mid performance. The amount of hook these two bowling balls have is outstanding. They were very clean through the heads and smooth the rest of the way.

Here is our Storm Fast video. Enjoy!

Today, TalkBowling episode #12 was released. This episode is mostly geared towards new bowlers that aren’t sure of the difference between conventional and fingertip grips. We are very excited to be doing this and really appreciate all the support that we have received.

900 Global Bounty

I wasn’t sure what to expect out of this bowling ball since I have never seen a 900 Global bowling ball in action before. I decided to drill the 900 Global Bounty up aggressively with the pin 3 3/8″ from my PAP, just off to the right of my ring finger. I positioned the Mass Bias about two inched right of my grip’s centerline.

I must admit I was very impressed with the 900 Global Bounty. As of right now it is the go to bowling ball in my arsenal. It makes a very strong hook in the backend. This ball needs a little oil to get down the lane, but when it does it is well worth it.
