This is a great ball that has a lot of versatile. This ball is so good that every league bowler or tournament bowler needs one of these. I drilled my ball with the pin drilled out in my ring finger with the cg kicked 1" out from center of palm. This ball is so good that I get the length and still have enough hooking power on the back that it hits like a truck. I tested it on both a sport and THS and this is such a great ball with the versatile of changing the cover to get what you need out of this ball.

Must comfortable shoe on the market. When I put these on they was just like the TPUXS but better. The design was like the 3GS with the comfort level of the TPUXs. You get all the heels and soles with these which is better then the SST 9s. So looking for comfort and good price these are the shoes for you

Let me introduce you to the next great ball from Brunswick. The Gold Rhino Pro. Yes I said that right the legend of one of the greatest balls produced by Brunswick Bowling has come back to life with new technology for today’s lane conditions. The new Rhino Pro has the Fortify Cover stock that is off the Intrigue and the original Exile. The core is the proven core that was in last year’s Vintage Line in the Lt-48. I drilled my Gold Rhino Pro the same as my LT-48 which was drilling the pin out in kicking the cg out a little. The gold rhino pro hooks about 3-4 more boards than the LT-48. Both bowling balls are out of box surface. When throwing my Gold Rhino Pro it is so clean getting thru the head area that it keeps a great amount of energy and creates so much drive off the back end of the lane that it just keeps going. This ball is a must have for anyone looking to go old school with new school technology and an all-around ball that will help you read the lanes when you are starting your league or tournament play. #TeamBrunswick

Let me introduce you to a low end ball that has more hook and for the price point that it is in it’s a ball that you can’t pass on. The brand new Radical Grease Monkey Whack. The first thing you notice is the shelf appeal on this ball, the red and blue swirl and the pearl cover sitting on the wall is going to be huge and you won’t be disappointed when you watch this go down the lane. This ball I was going to compare to my Gold Rhino Pro by Brunswick and the LT-48 by Brunswick. The other two balls have the pin drilled out in my ring finger and the Whack is actually drilled pin down below my bridge. The Whack gets long, but has a ton of back end and just keeps hooking more and more every time I throw this ball. I actually love the length of this ball and it rolls so true that I can read this ball so good to know when it’s time for a change. The original Grease Monkey had a lot of length and was a very good ball for someone that wanted to play straighter and the POW Grease Monkey was the solid version that would hook up sooner from the original Grease Monkey. The Whack is the ball that will be in the middle where it will add just a little bit of length, but has a lot of back end and would be a great all around ball if you are looking for a ball that will help you get a little more length later on in a set. So if your looking for a great new ball this would be a great addition to anyone bag. If you haven’t tried Radical you won’t be disappointed. #TeamRadical

The all new Guru. This ball is unbelievable. I have always have had trouble with Assymetrical bowling balls for losing energy down lane. This ball I don't. This ball is so good that it hits hard, its predictable, it everything you ask for in a bowling ball. I drilled the pin out and I can throw this anywhere and for a long period of time compare to other assym bowling balls. If you haven't tried Radical and your looking for something that hooks this is the ball to get your hands on.

Let me introduce the next great ball from Radical Bowling. The Guru Mighty. The Guru Mighty is a great ball that compliments the original Guru which is my favorite ball that I have had in my bag. The Original Guru was a ball that hook so much that I didn’t know that I could use a lot, but I was totally wrong. The Original was so great for me that I had to drill up its new sibiling in the line the Guru Mighty. The Guru Mighty was drilled Pin above my bridge compare to the pin drilled out in my ring finger for my Original Guru. The Mighty gets a little bit longer which was its attention when developing this ball compare to the Original and keep the same amount of back end potential from the Original. I have been throwing this ball so much the last week since I can play straighter with this from the start and when it gets to the point I need to change balls I can switch to my Gold Rhino Pro by Brunswick. The Mighty is a great ball that if you are looking for some more length and some hook on the back that none of your other equipment has given you. If you haven’t tried Radical Bowling Balls before you need to get your hands on this one it will be the start to changing to a Radical Head and believing on this great brand. #TeamRadical.

The Idol Pearl by Roto Grip was one of the first true pearls that I have drilled up since signing with Storm in December. The reason why I waited is that I have never been a fan of pearl equipment for my game, but since I was joining the staff I was like I need to see what this ball has to offer. I forget the total numbers on this ball, but the pin is in the ringer finger in the cg is kicked a little bit. So I tested this ball on a THS and this ball got through the fronts very clean and contained its energy for the back a ton and when that Ikon Core with the eTrax-P18 cover flipped that thing hit like a mack truck hit the pocket. So I went to a Sweeper tournament the following weekend and average 230 plus with this ball in hand and just keep being amazed with the performance of this ball. So get your hands on the IDOL Pearl now especially for tournament time coming up.

The first ball I drilled up since leaving another company was the Hyroad X by Storm Bowling. When I was looking for a ball I was looking for something that had some versatility and something that could be a benchmark ball for me. So after having a discussion with RSM Steve Todd I decided to drill this ball up first and after I threw it I was like WOW…Drilled this ball with my favorite layout pin under the bridge with the cg kicked a little. When I threw it the ball was a motion I haven’t had in a long time where it read the mid lane so well and flipped on the back that I was in amazed. I threw this for awhile and used it at the PBA Central Over/Under Doubles and this was the right ball on the 40 foot pattern for the beginning 4 games that I was feeling really comfortable until later in the block where it was slowing up and I had to switch balls. So if you are looking for that all around ball with the proven Hyroad core and an all new overstock than this is the ball for you

Phsyix Review

Talk about a home run with this piece by Storm Bowling. I drilled mine 4x1x1 using the VAL layout system and this ball gives me the length and the performance on the back end that I’m just in love with. The pin is located above by ring finger with the cg and mb lined up. With the Atomic Core and the Hybrid NRG Cover this ball performs at a level that can’t be touch. When I see a ball that has 3000 on it at first I’m usually all in since I like a ball that will get down the lane but keeping the backend reaction under control and this ball does that for me. I have thrown this on a THS and PBA Shot and I have seen that this ball will not let me down early in a block when I need to keep my angles in front of me, but if I need to open it up I can with this ball. I’ve had a high school kid that I coach wanting a new ball and I told him to get a physix and out of the the box he shot 300 at a high school match. This ball performs and performs. So if your looking for a versatile ball that is a ball down from the high end line this is the ball to put in your bag.
