Brunswick Rhino Bowling Ball, Red/Black/Gold, 13 lb

Just what I wanted color is great

Great quality , good price , weight feels lighter than what it is . Spins like a dream

If this is your first ball to own after using the house balls of a bowling alley, be prepared for spin and hook. You are playing with the big dogs now, or at least in leagues where various bowling techniques are necessary.

I have a 15 lb Hammer bowling ball that is at least 35 years old, which I quit using on a regular basis in league bowling 28 years ago for one reason or another. I started up league bowling in a seniors' league a few years ago and realized I had no where near the average I use to carry. To make things worse, I had a reverse shoulder replacement (of course my bowling arm) two years ago; and, could no longer throw the ball like I use to (speed and accuracy). I tried bowling with house balls using different weights, and discovered I now need a 13 lb ball. I saw the Rhino and read the reviews, and after seeing it on sale, decided to give it a try. Wish I could say a miracle happened and I now have my previous 167 average back (I never said I was a great bowler), and that everything is wonderful in the world of bowling - no such luck. I have managed to increase my average now from 122 to 124.. This ball has an awesome hook, that I am just now starting to control (this week I had a 422 series, which is great for me). I have been using this ball for about four weeks; and, I only bowl once a week in a senior's league. Bottom line: it appears to be a great bowl for the casual bowler; and, the price is great too. I would not recommend it for a beginner.

High quality ball, I got the 13 pound ball and don't have any complaints.

Good quality and price

The media could not be loaded. My husband likes the way it curves where you want it to go.

Great Beginners Ball. Has a medium hook at 14 mph and can be thrown straight as well. Great for any style of bowling.
