Melee Jab, Gold Rhino. or LT-48
« on: November 13, 2015, 08:47:11 PM »
I'm a true down and in bowler. Speed around 14 and low rev. I have a purple rhino (still love this ball) and the original aura. Both balls work well but looking for something with a little more carry. I stand right and throw straight near the right gutter and both balls come up pretty well into the pocket. Considering the Melee Jab, the Gold Rhino, or the LT-48. Any suggestions on what would work best?

I love the Jab and the LT-48, disappointed in the Rhino. I am also slower speed and like to throw down and in. Get the LT-48. Amazing ball. Glides effortlessly to the break point and then has a nice little controllable pop on the backend. Very forgiving. It's so good I may buy another before they discontinue it.

btw I am not a Brunswick staffer.

I have had all 3. The Jab is by far the strongest and most angular of the 3. The Rhino is much cleaner and smoother overall. The LT is a touch stronger in the mids than rhino but a little less angular in back. If I had to rate these balls from favorite to least definitely Jab would be the favorite. You can play all over the lane with this ball. Next would be the LT. Great for down and in shot, super versitle and really rocks the pocket. Last is the Rhino, this ball is just so so, nothing super special about it but the name. As soon as my Jab start hooking too early, I go right to the LT and it compliments it perfectly. So I guess the if you were bowling on medium/heavy I would go Jab and if you are on medium/light I would go LT.

Melee Jab - Can't miss!

Gold Rhino - Weaker cover, but nice on the dry. I needed to adjust the surface for optimal use.

LT-48 - More of an arc shape, but great ball especially at 3000-4000.

I have the lt48 and an original Aura. Many times when I have to ball down from the Aura the lt48 does so nicely. It was more ball then I expected. Box finish was a little too touchy. After knocking the shine off the finish it became an amazing ball.

The lt48 is a ball i do not want to be with out.

 Just like bowlingman I start with the Jab and then go down to the LT when it starts to overhook. My teammate favors the down and in line and is killing it with the Brute Strength. Never tried the Rhino cause I have that cover on another ball and its pretty condition specific.
