Only show reviews for Brunswick Slingshot Silver/Black
The Brunswick Slingshot is a great bowling ball at an even better price. This bowling ball is shiny which helps the bowling ball go long before hitting the breakpoint and making its turn to the pocket.
The Brunswick Slingshot seems to be versatile for many lane conditions. Because it goes longer, as the lanes start to break down, I don't have to work so hard to get the ball down the lane. I can just switch to the Brunswick Slingshot and continur.
I have enjoyed using this bowling ball very much.
Brunswick's latest release into the entry performance line is the Slingshot which is the first ball in its class to use a Two-piece shaped dynamic core. The Core allows multiple drilling options and stronger hitting power than traditional three-piece pancake weight block. The Slingshot's New core wrapped with proven PowrKoil 17 coverstock offers bowlers the hitting power of a high-performance ball at a low price. New color technology has allowed Brunswick to offer this ball in wide array of pearlized vibrant colors to match bowlers different styles.
Since the slingshot's release it has been the most requested entry performance ball. I am truly amazed at how good this ball performs for new bowlers as well as accomplished players. Slingshot versatility allows newer bowlers to upgrade from plastic or someone looking for a ball to roll better on drier or shorter lane patterns. Because of its mild reactive coverstock it creates length while maintaining medium response to friction on dry to medium-dry lane conditions. The slingshot introduction has once again shown why Brunswick is the number one name in bowling.

Wow Brunswick has a great ball for short patterns and the ball looks great. The Slingshot features the popular Brunswick PowrKoil 17 Reactive coverstock. PowrKoil 17 is a mild reactive coverstock that will create length with a medium response to friction on dry to medium-dry lane conditions. The Slingshot is available in a variety of bright pearlized colors to match any bowler’s style.

New to bowling about 6 months ago, this was my choice as my first ball after learning the basics of the game, mainly because of the price, and the positive reviews already posted. Got it drilled at my local pro shop and hit the lanes, finding very quickly that I had made the right choice as a starting ball. Using a drilling layout suggested by my pro shop for a bowler just starting to work out the quirks of getting a ball to curve, I found that my Slingshot was able to provide a nice, consistent, gradual curve into the pocket with decent pin action. The ball is not particularly aggressive in the back end, but like I said, it's very consistent, making it perfect for the beginner bowler.
On fresh lanes, this ball skids like crazy if you keep it at factory finish, since it's polished finish doesn't allow for much "grab" on the lane, but after a few games and the lanes get a little drier, the ball really starts to shine. Personally, I kept the factory finish and now take it out of the bag for when the lanes dry out a bit.
Long story short, if you're new to bowling and are looking for a good, solid ball that will let you work on your consistency (which is arguably one of the most important aspects to improving your game), work out your newly found hook, and get you into league-bowling condition, pick this ball up! At this price, you can't go wrong. This ball will always hold a sort of sentimental value as "my first bowling ball"...but going from struggling to break 100 to now bowling in a league and averaging in the 160's only adds to my positive regard :)

Brunswick has release a excellent line of entry level bowling balls called the Slingshot. These are great balls for the person looking to upgrade from plastic or someone looking for a ball to play drier or shorter lane patterns. The Slingshot uses a new 2-piece core and the Powerkoil 17 cover, one of their most popular coverstocks. This combination creates more power than any other 2 or 3 piece ball on the market. The Slingshot is stronger than the Power Grooves but still has enough energy to get through the pins very effectively. The ball comes in 5 different colors that are very appealing to the eye. Great release by Brunswick.

Shot 258 out of the box with it yesterday on a league shot. It really hits the pins with a loud wack! I throw around 16mph and play over the 10 board. It struck when I missed right by 3 boards and left by 2 boards. It did leave 2 solid 4 pins when I threw 4 boards too many to the left on an inside shot. The ball's core is said to be like the Danger Zone with coverstock priced $50 more (Annihilation). It is great for a house shot ball for $95 out the door with drilling, how can you not take a chance a ball that hits like a Mack truck and does not make a left turn Clyde when it hits the break point. It even carrys the ten on a weak shot too. First time reviewer, long time bowler, this is really the ticket for those who want to score without paying $200 for a ball that only works for heavy oil.
This is an excellent ball for senior bowlers or just anyone with a slower speed who wants to keep a controlled line to the pocket. The ball is definately made for medium oil or dryer lane conditions without the loss of backend strength to the pocket. A good ball for the money.
I ordered two of diff color for my twins.
Comment: I choose HATE it because this is the 2nd bad experience with Brunswick & Mexico made.
Proshop told me the pin is not placed correctly. The ball
looks illegal right now, of course Ed Williamson Pro shop will not let it happen. I did not want to go thru the fuss of exchanging cause I have twin boys who are difficult to deal with. One is bowling with a new ball and the other one
sit and watch!
The previous ball was a 14 lb Brunswick Twiste Fury which
crack along the fingure tip. Also something funny about the
pin when Ed drilled it. He warned me at that time about product from Mexico already! Two yrs ago, I believe.
I am a new bowler, and bowling in a league with my dad. I had an average of 96 for the first 4 weeks. I read lots of reviews and watched as many videos about the BRUNSWICK SLINGSHOT. After all the research I could do I bought the BRUNSWICK SLINGSHOT 14lb ball. The first day I bowled with it, I bowled 2 games prior to league bowl that night and bowled a 191, which was the highest game ever for me. I have bowled with it three times now and I am averaging about 140 now. So if this is your first ball and you are getting into bowling I give this a must have ball.
Thank you for bowlingball.com and BRUNSWICK SLINGSHOT !!!
