Different Ball
« on: December 01, 2005, 08:05:14 AM »
I'm not a HUGE bowler, but I'd put myself into the intermediate range. I've been using Brunswick Power Groove Reactives for a few years, and think they're not that bad. I've been thinking that it's time for a new ball. I'm looking for something that isn't too expensive, but will give me something different to try over my Groove. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
poly-p man

Depends on what sort of change you're looking for.  If you're looking to replace it with something similar, they still make the PGs, and in different colors.  If you're looking for something more to complement, maybe a Nemesis or Rampage or Ambush.  All are a little stronger with stronger cores.  If you want a different company, the Track Slash is a steal.  You should be able to get any of those drilled for maybe $30 or $40 more than the PG.

Anything from the BVP line will be remarkable. It's Brunswick's mid range line - and offers as much or more versatility and performance than some other manufacturer's high end stuff!

Agreed, but I'd stay away from the Goliath.  If a Power Groove is working well, I doubt there's enough oil for a Goliath.  A guy here has one and it's quite the dud, even though we get a fair bit of oil sometimes.
