Columbia 300’s next release for their Noize line of bowling balls is going to be the Columbia 300 Cool Noize.  This Mid Performance Bowling Ball is sanded to a Polished 2000 Grit Abralon finish and has a strong mid-lane reaction. 

The name is a little funny to me.  We have teased our Columbia 300 reps that the ball is really pronounce “Noisy” instead of “Noise”.  They love that one.  The Columbia 300 Cool Noize is scheduled for release in June.  I look forward to bringing you more information as it becomes available.

You’ve heard of the Fast and the Furious, but did you know that it applied to bowling as well?  Ok, not in the general sense, but Storm is coming out with two new bowling balls (Storm Fast & Storm Furious).

You have to love the way the bowling industry plays with words to try and make them work for bowling balls.  It’s always quite interesting to me to see the New Release Bowling Balls every few months.

Keep an eye out for these two bowling balls coming at the end of May 2009.

Ebonite continues to build on the popularity of The One series of bowling balls.  The new Ebonite The One Pearl adds a little extra muscle to the original “The One” from Ebonite.

So, what exactly makes the Ebonite The One Pearl stronger? By pearlizing the GB
10.7 coverstock, we’ve added even more power to The ONE, giving The Ebonite The One Pearl more length and an even sharper approach to the pins, resulting
in increased pin carry.

Looking for a Mid Performance bowling ball for those pesky lane conditions where a High Performance bowling ball is just too much?

You might want to choose the new Brunswick Rattler.

Rattler

The Brunswick Rattler strikes, and strikes, and strikes again. With a ball reaction like a snake attacking its prey, the Rattler uncoils and drives hard and fast through the backend with a vicious attack. The Rattler provides unmatched reaction at the performance price point. Don’t be caught without one in your bag.

Technology
Activator Coverstock: The Brunswick Rattler is the first ball with Activator coverstock available at the performance price point. The original Activator coverstock used on the Rattler is a proven formula that provides strong downlane recovery, longevity of ball reaction, and unprecedented durability with superior resistance to cracking.

Low RG Rocket Core
The Rattler uses Brunswick™s Multi-Sided Rocket Core System, providing a low RG core that when combined with the original Activator produces a ball reaction that is unmatched at the performance price point. Clean through the front with an aggressive move at the breakpoint, the Rattler gives amazing bang for the buck. There isn’t another ball in this class that’s even close.

High Gloss Finish
The Rattler is finished with Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish to maximize the skid-snap reaction out of the box. This surface preparation will allow most bowlers to match-up to both freshly oiled and moderately broken down house conditions.

Power Swing

This ball features a new strike hungry, flaring TriRib asymmetric core that provides a higher RG (2.51) plus greater differential (.051) than the Columbia 300 Resurgence core. Combing this core combination with the proven NE2Maxx coverstock, the Columbia 300 Power Swing is the ultimate ball for any bowler looking for more overall hook and control.

Features:

• Surface: 4000 Ebonite Abralon Pad
• Core: TriRib Core
• RG: 2.51
• Differential: 0.051

Ebonite just announce a new bowling ball release, Ebonite The One Pearl.

If you like the original (Ebonite The One - Original), then you will want the new version.  The original was a major success a few years ago.  I couldn’t walk into my league without seeing one on almost every rack in the bowling center.  I was jealous at the time because I felt like the only bowler without one.

Here are the specs for the Ebonite The One Pearl.

Take Ebonite The One - Original, add on some extra muscle and what do you get? Ebonite The One Pearl–a stronger, more aggressive version of The ONE.

So, what exactly makes The ONE Pearl stronger? By pearlizing the GB 10.7 coverstock, we’ve added even more power to The ONE, giving The ONE Pearl more length and an even sharper approach to the pins, resulting in increased pin carry.

Features:

• Coverstock: GB 10.7
• Weight Block: Centrex Symmetrical Mass Bias
• Ball Color: Purple/Black/Red Pearl All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown.
• Ball Finish: 4000 with Abralon and polished with Powerhouse Factory Finish

Then we wrapped it all in a Gen 2 coverstock with a performance pearl additive to increase length while storing energy. It’s the closest thing to a remote controlled ball for the slickest lane conditions.
