Storm Crux Pearl Bowling Ball Review
Storm Pearlizes the Crux First Impressions This Crux Pearl is likely to be more usable for bowlers on typical shots over the original solid Crux. Very nice ball reaction with a nice heavy roll.

Brunswick Fortera Intrigue Bowling Ball Review
Another Fortera, Is this One Intriguing? First Impressions A little confused to be honest. This ball seemed so close to the Fortera Exile in overall reaction, I’m not sure if Brunswick really got what it was looking for here with the Fortera Intrigue.

Brunswick Melee Jab Bowling Ball Review

14 vs 15 Pound…What’s the Story

A majority of bowlers are throwing 15 pounds, with 16 pounds and then 14 pound equipment. It’s funny that years ago when 16 pound was the majority, it was thought to be … Continue reading 14 vs 15 Pound…What’s the Story
