Defiant

On a fresh typical house shot (THS) this ball was everything you would want. Even with its 3000 grit Abralon finish the Roto Grip Defiant bowling ball cleared the heads smoothly. It reads the lanes well, not too early and it transitioned perfectly into the middle part of the lane.

508A

Advanced performance Track bowling ball at a reasonable price. Great for medium to dry lane conditons. Looking for a great deal with a lot of hook potential? Look no further.

Jason Kosby, our Product Development Engineer, found the magic combination.

“We found that the 505A’s cover worked well with the Legion core,” expounded Kosby. “When we altered the color, it changed the chemical composition slightly. This cover works so well that it’s actually stronger off the spot than its predecessor, but it still has the angularity bowlers love.”

C (System)3.5

Brunswick continues to pave the way with new technology and innovative thinking. Focusing on the coverstock of the bowling ball, which is the dominant reason for ball reaction, Brunswick looks like they may have broken the code. Brunswick continues to be the leader in cover stock technology with the introduction of the second in the C System Series, the 3.5. This ball dominates and conquers heavy oil making other bowling balls look inferior when thrown side by side. The reaction that I see when the C System 3.5 is rolling down the lanes is new for the bowling industry. This ball will change your personal definition of ball reaction.

All new coverstock technology by Carmen Salvino, this bowling ball has a great look and a great roll going down the lane. You will see your scores go up as your pin carry goes up.

Reign of Fire

Release date is scheduled for 1/27/10

The dominance of the Storm Reign line continues with the Storm Reign of Fire bowling ball. You will simply have to throw this ball to believe the reaction.

Storm is fast taking over the bowling world, again. Storm was never really down, but it had it ups and downs like all bowling ball companies. Under the leadership of Bill Chrisman, along with his outstanding staff, Storm bowling has not only revived the company but have taken it to the next level, and all of this in a down economy. This could only be achieved by having a commitment to quality which leads to superior products. The bowling balls at Storm have accounted for more television appearences and wins on the PBA tour than any other brand by far.

Manufacturer description of the new Storm Reign of Fire:

The key to the Storm Reign of Fire is the utilization of the R2S™ solid reactive coverstock. From its inception, it has proven to be one of the most versatile coverstocks ever manufactured. With its strong surface profile and excellent friction characteristics it was the obvious choice for this latest release.

The fuel for the Fire so to speak is the C.A.M. ™ (Continuous Axis Migration) weight block. The combination of the unique contours along the weight block with the strategically placed weighted mass blocks deliver optimum mid-lane roll with volatile backend reaction.
