Is it a good ball for a lefty

6/23/2016 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Hello! Balls aren't really made specifically for lefties or righties. That will depend on how your driller drills it, so this should work just fine for lefties in general!

I want the ball to break hard at back,what weight block should I GET.

9/2/2016 - By

Hello! If you are wanting a ball that breaks hard at the end, I suggest using a Upper Mid Performance ball or a High Performance ball. The entry level balls will only have a slight hook.

Question:


Trying to decide between the Brunswick Rhino and the DV8 Outcast for my first bowling ball. I bowl regulars not in a league but am considering joining in the future. I average around 150ish and throw with slight curve. I've been looking at both balls both have great reviews and seem to be top notch entry level balls. Wondering which you would recommend most?

Have an answer to this question?

Hello! The Rhinos are the most popular among our entry level balls. At this point, it is just a matter of preference for you.

Question:


I am looking for a good spare ball, is this a good one?

8/16/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


This ball is designed to be an entry performance ball so it has hook potential on lighter oil conditions. Most people prefer their spare ball to go as straight as possible so there are better priced options that just go straight like the Brunswick TZone. But if you want your spare ball to have a little bit of hook potential then this could work possibly for you.

Question:


What is drilling protection

11/4/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The drilling protection option is to cover you when you take the ball to have it drilled locally. If the ball were to chip or crack while it was being drilled then we could replace the ball and refund you for the drilling cost if it was charged. You may click the "?" beside the drilling protection to see more about what this covers.

Question:


Does having a light bulb core better than having a remove light bulb core? Cause I use a 11lb ball.

3/6/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The weight block does help give the ball more hook potential when compared to the ball that does not have performance weight block. However, the coverstock will still give you some hook potential in 11lbs for this ball.

Does this ball hook much?

2/4/2021 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


This ball is considered an entry performance ball and will have hook potential on lighter oil conditions. Compared to other performance balls this ball will not have a high hook potential.

Question:


I currently throw a 15 lb ball I’m getting older and thinking of throwing a 13 lb ball. Will that hurt my striking ability.

10/27/2021 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Dropping 1lb you would not see a large difference in performance but dropping 2lbs it will be a more significant difference. You may need to create more entry angle into the pocket to get a 13lb ball to drive through the pins like a 15lb ball does so you may have to make some adjustments but you can still get good reaction on a 13lb.

Question:


What happens when to remove the polish on a Rhino ball

12/23/2021 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


If you were to refinish the ball with a duller finish then the ball would read earlier on the lanes and have a smoother arcing hook instead of a sharper backend. The ball initially works well in lighter oil but if you dull the cover down it may need a little more oil for it to read the lanes correctly.
