About the Bowler

The Fortera Intrigue is the big brother to the Fortera Exile. The Intrigue is about 4-5 boards stronger in overall hook potential and reads the lane about 2 feet sooner. This ball allows me to get left and not worry about whether or not the ball will get back to the pocket. I can even straighten up and adjust my hand position to stay straighter longer. There is no place on the lane where I cannot throw this ball. Getting through chewed up fronts is no problem because of the easy length of the fortify hybrid reactive coverstock. When my exile is going a little too long and not recovering as needed, you can pull out the exile and you'll be good to go. I have had the most success with this ball on longer patterns and shorter patterns. On longer patterns, I'm able to jump left and keep my angles tight and not worry about pin carry. On shorter patterns I can stay right longer, keep my target in front of me and not worry about the ball jumping too hard off the back of the pattern.

This ball with a 5.5" pin to PAP distance.

About the Bowler

For those of you looking for an asymmetric solid ball that will surprise you...this is it! I've never rolled another one like it. The Intellect gets my high rev rate through the heads, reads the midlane phenomenally and unleashes a spectacular motion on the backend. I've been able to throw this piece on patterns ranging from 32ft (Wolf) to 50ft (old TOC). The versatility this ball gives me is unreal. This ball is at the top of my arsenal right now as far as hook potential however I'm not afraid to throw it even when the lanes are burnt. I just change my hand position a little bit and the ball doesn't overreact. If you buy this ball you will NOT be disappointed!

About the Bowler

The Mastermind Scholar is the most angular pearl bowling ball that Brunswick has released in quite a long time. The amount of backend motion I get from this ball is unlike anything else I have ever thrown. On a typical house shot, this ball gets down the lane with no problem and basically hooks back from ANYWHERE! I can continuously move left and never suffer from loss of carry. On sport shots, I have had the most success on medium and longer patterns. I am able to create some area on every pattern I have bowled on because of the unique roll of this ball. This is definitely my favorite ball right now and always has a place in my bag! Buy one TODAY!

About the Bowler

The Melee Jab is my go to ball and always the first ball out of my bag regardless of what I am bowling on. The motion this ball provides me is unlike anything I have ever thrown. I can stay right with this ball or I can jump left and score either way. I usually pull out the jab once my stronger equipment (Mastermind, Intellect, Genius) start to read too early and become unpredictable. The jab allows me to either stay where I am or move a little left and open up my angles to find the pocket. This ball glides through the fronts and reads the mids really well. When this ball hits the back part of the lane is when the magic happens. This ball is very strong off the end of the pattern. In my opinion however it is one of the most predictable balls I've ever owned. I have had most success with this ball on Medium to Longer oil patterns and Medium length flat patterns as well. The versatility this ball will give you is unreal and I really think that EVERYONE needs one in their bag.

About the Bowler

The Brunswick Ringer Royal Blue Solid is the best ball in its price range hands down. The versatility this ball provides me with is something I haven't had from any other ball on the market. This is the smoothest and cleanest piece I own and will definitely be drilling a couple more very soon. I've been able to use this ball on all types of patterns and I never have trouble finding the pocket. This is always the first ball out of my bag and probably will be for a long time. I highly recommend the Ringer Solid for anyone looking for a centerpiece of their arsenal.
