We have just enabled a new feature in the My Account section of bowlingball.com. You can now set your bowler attributes (Average, Style, Ball Speed, etc…) so that other users can get a better feel for your ball reviews.

Example, I average 188, so I am going to put more credit into a 185 average bowler’s reviews than I might of a 220 average bowler. I will look at bowler’s review that has a medium ball speed more than that of a high ball speed player.

I hope you like this new feature and would like to hear your feedback. Are there other attributes that we should add? Would you change anything about this section?

There’s nothing safe about the Hammer Raw Hammer Acid. Made with out Max-Hook Reactive coverstock and Raw Hammer Assault core, we’ve designed it to be dangerous from the outside in; a scary combination of power and control you won’t find in any other mid-level ball. The Raw Hammer Acid. Let the pins burn.

The latest bowlingball.com ball reaction video is of the Brunswick Twisted Fury Destruction.

XLerated Pin Destructing Power. The Brunswick Twisted Fury Destruction introduces Brunswick’s new XLERATOR coverstock, combining length you can count on with the back-end reaction you crave to provide pin destructing power.

Coverstock
The new XLerator coverstock has been formulated with two main goals in mind. First, to create length through the heads, both when they’re fresh and after they’ve broken down. Second, to create a strong angular move at the breakpoint in order to provide increased pin-carrying ball reaction. The XLerator coverstock succeeds at achieving both of these goals, giving you unparalleled reaction with a ball that gets to the spot and returns hard to the pocket.

Core
Good coverstocks become great when paired with a core that accentuates their strengths. After testing a wide range of cores (both new and old designs) with the new XLerator coverstock, the core that gave the absolute best reaction was the Torsion Asymmetric Core. This core/coverstock combo make the Twisted Fury Destruction rev up hard and hug the lane without hooking early. The medium RG asymmetric design of the core then turns loose the power of the coverstock on the back-end, unleashing destructive force on the pins.

Reaction Characteristics

* Out of the Box: With its Rough Buff finish, the Twisted Fury Destruction will provide excellent length and a strong angular back-end reaction to match up on medium-dry to medium-oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.
* If your Twisted Fury Destruction goes too long: Dull the surface with 800-grit abrasive to get the Twisted Fury Destruction to roll sooner and increase its hooking action.
* If your Twisted Fury hooks too early: Polish your Twisted Fury Destruction with Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish to get extra length.

The common bond that we all share is our passion and love for the sport of bowling. Every person working at bowlingball.com is a bowler and has the same financial concerns that all of you do.

If you have purchased anything from our site recently, than odds are you have received a small, prepaid plastic envelope that says Cell Phones for Soldiers. We have teamed up with Cell Phones for Soldiers in efforts to raise awareness of this non-profit organization’s worthy cause. If you are wondering how this works, it’s really quite simple. If you have an extra cell phone laying around the house or any other cell phone accessories that you don’t want, put them in the envelope and mail them away. It’s that easy. The best part is that these donations help the troops that are serving our country overseas by providing them with prepaid calling cards.

Here is a little background on how Cell Phone for Soldiers was created:

The Cell Phones for Soldiers program was started in April 2004 by 13-year-old Brittany Bergquist and her 12-year-old brother Robbie of Norwell, Massachusetts.

Robbie and Brittany’s goal is to help our soldiers serving overseas call home. They hope to provide as many soldiers as possible with prepaid calling cards. Through generous donations and the recycling of used cell phones, Robbie and Brittany have already distributed thousands of calling cards to soldiers around the globe.

If you would like to learn more about this program or learn how you can get involved, please visit Cell Phones for Soldiers.
