Brunswick Rhino Red/Black/Gold Pearl
The Brunswick Rhino bowling balls balance control and power and don't react extremely to dry or oily areas on the lanes. These factors make this ball great for an entry level bowler or any bowler who isn't looking for a big hooking ball. Brunswick achieves this reaction by combining the R-16 reactive coverstock with their Light Bulb core.
Details & Specs
All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown
A few tiny pit holes in the cover stock of the ball are normal

Technology Advances
Hi, SURPRISINGLY great pin action. Stringing strikes together is no problem with this ball. I'm retired now and needed more aggravation in life so I have just started to bowl again. I have not bowled in 45 years and yet it all comes back to me like riding a bike. I had (bowling.com) predrill it to a conventional grip to try out to see if I could even bowl after all the years? Technology has advanced with the bowling balls. I certainly have not gotten better over the years by not bowling except I already see an 18 pin game improvement over what I use to average and that has to be due to the better balls on the market now and this is one worth using. Thanks guys!

Great first ball to learn with that you can keep even when you had higher performance balls since it reacts very well in all lane types. I would suggest this ball for anyone wanting their own ball .

Love this ball
I bought this for my 10yr old son who had just started his second year of bowling. He absolutely loves this ball and after getting it almost half way through the season he was able to raise his average by about 16 pins by the end of the season. For a 10 pound entry level ball it does have the capability to have a pretty decent hook and finishes strong.

Unprecedented control, hit power, any lane conditions

You

At any level

Secret Gem
This is the best ball on the market hands down. It is a bit of a secret. I do not see to many people with it even though it is usable in any conditions, by just about any level. I have been contemplating buying a few more and having them each drilled a little different just to see what can be done. Also it is great because it still has a full core in a 12lb ball if you are on the smaller side.
By G.G. from Verona, Wisconsin
Pros:
Good on dry to medium conditions.
Cons:
Not a coast to coast breaker.
Best Uses:
When playing from right to left for right handers.
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Looks great, and solid performance.
Brunswick Rhinos and Twists are some of the best looking bowling balls that are out there today. Also great bowling balls for the money, and out perform the price point. Outstanding value for sure.

Brunswick Rhino Red Black Gold Pearl
This is my second review on this ball now that I have used it three times. I have just started bowling again and this was my first personal ball ever. This ball gets down the lane smoothly and pops with good power on the pins. I have noticed as I bowl more I am getting really good straight control with this ball to go where I would like it to go, providing I line up right of course. I have since purchased another ball from bowling.com and I use this one for my 2nd roll to pick up spares more frequently due to having this straighter control. Highly recommend this ball if you are starting into bowling or starting again.

Brunswick Rhino Review February 2017
Just got back into bowling with my spouse and wanted to have my own ball. This is the purchase I made with pre-drilled holes which I determined a measurement to do from another on line web site and the holes were drilled perfectly for my hand size (X-Large). Bowling.com placement of order is next day typically and I had this ball by the end of the week and was bowling with it that weekend. Absolutely phenomenal speed of placing the order and shipping and notifying by email waht is going on. I highly recommend this company. Thanks!
By Ry from Fort Wayne, IN
Pros:
HITTING POWER at the price point!, Predictable Strong motion off the dry, VIBRANT COLORS
Cons:
NONE
Best Uses:
Beginning Bowlers, Drier Conditions, Shorter Patterns
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
SO MUCH BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!
Very impressed with how hard this ball hits! Dont really see that out of balls at this price point. Very easy length down the lane with a predictable move off the backend but really drives through the pins. Great piece for me on shorter patterns and late in the day dry lanes. Have seen guys with slower ball speeds or guys with a ton of revs really crushing racks with this ball on a fresh house shot
By Justin Knowles from Okemos, MI

Low price point for high performance
This Rhino was an exceptional amount of backend for the price point on house. Effortless length and strong motion off the dry was exactly what Brunswick wanted to deliver and they hit the mark. I found it to be about 3-2 off of my Strike King, so they've upped the ante of low performance results. On the 37 ft high volume sport pattern, the Rhino had a tough time getting back to the pocket as expected with the shiny finish, so I took it down to 1000 and found that it was very handy as the fronts and mids began to break down. The surface helped even out my reaction as well and became a great tool for tough patterns when you need to clear the fronts and not be violent on the backend. Another great Brunswick product! #TeamBrunswick

Brunswick Entry Level Rhino
Rev Rate ::: 300 Ball speed:::: 16 mph Right Handed PAP 4 3/8 over by 1/2 up Condition:::::40 ft. House shot This is my review of the New Entry Level Brunswick Rhino. I selectd the Black/Silver . What I was looking for in this ball was a ball that can get me more right than I have been instead of spotting 17 out to 10 . What I got was just what I was looking for. The New Rhino got me lined up on20 with my left foot and playing straighter than I ever have before. I can play 8 or 9 and get the ball down the lane longer than and a little sharper break down lane. This ball gave me the down lane movement without over reacting. This is going to be an excellent ball for me when the lane breks down later in the session. This will give me the control on shorter patterns also. I will recommend the New Rhino is you are looking for a ball that is controllable and predictable as you move right and play the outside lines.

It is a great value and hooks a bit more than you would expect. It is a little longer than the Strike King it replaces and a bit more angular at the breakpoint. I plan to use this ball when my benchmark balls, like the Danger Zone, are hooking too much. When comparing it to the Danger zone it is about a 5 and 3 move right on the lane with my feet. The Rhino also hooks a few feet later. I believe it will see a good bit of use later in tournament blocks and when I need to start out playing right in the drier part of the lane during league. If your looking for a great performance for a good value I recommend checking out the new Rhino.

Rhino tough
Grab the Rhino for my first ball in over 15 yrs. Moved up to 15lb. Now I use my rhino as my spare. Great control for throwing straight or with a little hook to hit that 7 pin. I recommend it for any newbie or someone getting back in the game.

Gets down lane, Good enough hook
Best Uses:
House Shot, Medium Oil

Good Ball Definitely Would Recommended
Love the ball it allows me to somewhat still use angle if i want but also does well with a straight shot. Definitely a good ball doesn’t break as hard but it will if you use a good amount of rev
By Ruthie from Terre Haute Indiana
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I would not buy this ball again
I don't know if this ball was drilled correctly or not. What I do know is that I'm not getting the reaction that the specs say that I'm supposed to get. This ball hooks so bad its ridiculous. I have to stand almost in front of left-hand channel, swing it out between center & third arrow & it still comes back screaming. There is nothing long length, late hook, slight hook or low flare about it. Its violent, I through my money away.

This Rhino could be a great option for you. The reaction is not going to be overly aggressive but gives a decent hook on your average house bowling conditions and is versatile enough for you to use one ball most of the night.
Question:
I'm recovering from a stroke from 1 year ago. Therefore, I'm bowling with 12 lb equipment. Does the Rhino use the same weight block design for all weights?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hello Yendor! No, the weight block will be a more generic, light bulb shape when you move down below 14 pounds.
Question:
How long would it take for it to get here
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hello Gab! It depends a lot on what weight you're ordering and where we would be shipping. If you'd like, you can give us a call and someone here can give you a little bit better idea. In general, it will take between 1 and 7 business days.
Question:
I am 81 yrs young, and started bowling again 3or4 months ago. Back when I did bowl, more than 50 yrs earlier, no one used a hook ball. I'm determined to learn it, but not having much luck with my urethane ball. Would this ball be a good "next step" for me?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi Tom. That would be hard for us to determine. Please give us a call at customer service and we will be able to better assist you. The number for customer service is 1-800-441-2695.
Question:
Is this a good entry ball for a two handed bowler?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Yes, it is.
Question:
Do you carry in 9 or 10 lb
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
We do carry this in 10lbs but we do not have this ball lower than 10lbs unfortunately.
Question:
With drilling this ball will it he drilled for a lefty or right handed person?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The default drilling is for a right handed bowler but if you needed to get left handed drilling you may request for this when placing the order. On the details of the drilling it gives a size chart and it says to flip the measurements for the middle and ring finger if you are left handed. It also says to make sure you mention in the customer comments that you need this drilling for a left handed bowler so we know to flip the layout.
Question:
If throw this ball staright bowling will it still hook some?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
If you throw the ball straight it will go straight. It will not hook on its own. It requires that you spin the ball so it can read that spin and hook on the lanes.
Question:
Does this ball come undrilled so I can drill it myself?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Yes, this ball will start out undrilled. We may offer drilling for an extra fee but you can decline that option if you would rather have this drilled locally.
Question:
Are any balls 8 lbs.?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
We did not have this model in an 8lb weight but you can get this model in 8lbs : <a href="https://www.bowling.com">https://www.bowling.com</a>/products/brunswick-twist-black-gold-<a href="silver.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">silver.htm</a>
Question:
What lane condition does this ball work best on?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Rhino will work best in medium to lighter oil conditions.
Question:
What is the weight block in an 11 lb rhino and is it less aggressive then the tropical surge
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball would be around the same level as the Tropical Surge in overall hook potential. The 10-11lb does not have the same weight block as the heavier weights. To see the details you may view this on Brunswicks website here: <a href="https://brunswickbowling.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://brunswickbowling.com</a>/products/balls/current/rhino-magenta-purple-navy
Question:
Can I get a 10 pound ball with weight in it
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Unfortunately this ball in 10lbs will not have a performance weight block. Most bowling balls will not be able to have a performance weight block in a 10lb ball because they have to make the core less dense to get the overall weight down. We are sorry for any trouble.
Question:
Is there a warranty for the ball that covers cracks?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi, Dre! This ball has a 1-Year manufacturer's warranty.
Question:
This is a left handed ball right
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi, Rocky! This is a great option for left or right handed bowlers.
Question:
How do I know what size holes I need to be drilled?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The hole size can be determined by using the size chart provided when you click the "?" next to the drilling option. If you are getting the ball without holes and having it drilled by a local driller then they will measure your hand/fingers for a custom fit.
