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.

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.

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.

Didn't have a chance to really test it out but the one game I played I bowled a 125 which is pretty good for me. The ball has an great hook compared to my 3 year old Awesome Inferno. I think its definitely going to improve my average once i really start getting used to it.

I have only used it a few times but all indications makes it look like it will be the ball to start with since the way it is drilled to have a slow curve. For my way of bowling it has less chopping hits. I have only bowled about 12 games but averaged 182.

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.

Thanks to the slingshot,I just bowled the best game ever for me. I opened the first with a split of two pins and tried to make them both. Ofcourse I missed both. Then through 11 strikes in a row. I never did that before. It has to to be the ball. Thanks Brunswick!

I am left handed with a 206 average. I am a stroker with average speed. This ball was purchased for medium dryn to dry lanes on which my toxic hammer and impulse zone were too strong. This ball works great. Smooth roll and arc. Hits well and I use this ball for my 7 pin.
