No review of Nirvana in BTM or Bowlers Journal?
« on: November 28, 2015, 06:55:29 PM »
with my sport league about to hit our heavy oil pattern and me needing to replace an old ball (Virtual Gravity) I was wanting to read more on the nirvana.

To my surprise I am not able to find a review on BTM and teammate with a subscription to Bowlers Journal has said they haven't seen one there either.

are those 2 publications no longer reviewing Brunswick equipment?  reviews still in progress?  Did I just miss it?

I quit my subscription to BTM after I found that some companies did not submit all their equipment for testing/reviews.  I heavily rely on BTM reviews as an independent source ie. non-staffer opinion.

Related I considered a DV8 Vandal but did not after I found out it would not be submitted to BTM.   I purchased a Motiv ball that was submitted to BTM for testing.

What is the cost of submitting balls for testing?

I don't quite understand punishing BTM for not getting balls to review.  I would punish the companies who don't provide the balls by not buying their product.
