The Brunswick Ivory Rhino Pro is a bold evolution of the iconic Rhino Pro line. Building on the legacy of Brunswick’s first reactive bowling balls, the Ivory Rhino Pro brings the perfect blend of nostalgia and cutting-edge technology. Following the success of the Teal Rhino Pro, this ivory version combines the classic reliability of the Vintage Light Bulb core with modern innovations for a ball that’s more angular, cleaner through the lanes, and just as powerful. The HK22 - Activator Plus 3.0 Pearl coverstock gives the Ivory Rhino Pro a polished finish, ensuring a sharper, more defined motion that’s ideal for creating clean and precise shots. With a striking look on the shelf and unstoppable performance on the lanes, the Ivory Rhino Pro is here to make its mark. Get ready to let the Rhino stampede through the pins—this is one ball you don’t want to miss!

COMMENTS:
The Ivory Rhino Pro is a very predictable ball on hooking house shots and heavily transitioned lane conditions. This HK 22 picks up surely down the lane and generates plenty of backend motion. The Ivory Rhino Pro is a great step down when balls like the Ethos Hybrid are hooking too early. This one is good from all over the lane. It plays well straighter and with steeper angles. Slower speeds and higher rev rates will particularly love this one. This Rhino really runs them over when the lanes are hooking!

Volume: Med-Heavy
Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS
COMMENTS
Likes: Easy length through the heads
Dislikes: Like most pearls, needs some dry boards
I drilled the Ivory Rhino mostly because of the Teal Rhino's ball motion for me. For the most part it has been exactly what I was hoping for, something I could use on the dry. The cover is a bit more responsive than previous versions, and excels when I play straighter angles, since I'm not a high rev bowler. Carry is deceptively good, too. The color also stands out going down the lane. Thank you, Brunswick.
