Duuuuuuuuuuke!

Congrats to Norm for winning the PBA Cheetah Championships! Norm showed that perseverance and heart can let you accomplish anything! Also, it doesn’t hurt to have about as much talent as anyone to ever throw a bowling ball!

Norm defeated Ryan Ciminelli by using his Storm Second Dimension and accidentally his Storm Hy-Road!


Second Dimension

Ryan used his Storm Natural for the entire tournament, and really showed the world how great that ball really is! I’m sure we’ll be seeing him again very soon!

New Releases: The New AMF Bowling Ball Lineup!

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Howdy!

AMF has just unveiled their new Lineup of bowling balls for this season, and there are some really exciting pieces!

First is the AMF 300 Sideways!


Sideways

This follow up to the AMF 300 Mega Friction will give you two of the most defined ball movements on the market. the Mega Friction hooks as early and as hard on oil as anything ever made. And the AMF 300 Sideways is true to it’s name, it goes long and makes an extreme snap on the backend!

__________

Next up is the new AMF 300 Clutch!


Clutch

This ball is going to be one of the best balls of the year, in my opinion. Expect the AMF 300 Clutch to get through the heads smoothly and make a very strong but predictable motion in the middle and back parts of the lane. Exactly what you need in the clutch. And the Clutch won’t let you down!

__________

AMF has also added 2 new lines to their Entry Level arsenal, the Hype and Smoke lines!

The Hype series features the AMF 300 Hype Ocean Pearl Reactive and AMF 300 Hype Solid Black Urethane!


Hype Ocean Pearl Reactive

The Smoke series introduces the AMF 300 Smoke Green/Black and AMF 300 Smoke Purple/Red!


Smoke Green/Black

Both lines will give beginning bowlers great options to take their games to the next level, or for advanced bowlers to used on challenging dry conditons!

Thanks AMF for some great products! We can’t wait to see these things go down the lane!

*These balls are scheduled for release on 7.6.09

The New Brunswick Wild Thing Bowling Ball!

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009


Wild Thing

Brunswick’s newest addition, the Brunswick Wild Thing is sure to make the competition go crazy! I don’t have a lot of information on this ball yet, but I’m sure it will be the perfect compliment to the Brunswick Wild Ride! This ball should hook up a little sooner and give you a stronger but more controlled backend reaction for heavy oil. If your Brunswick Wild Ride would sometimes go a little too long, then you’ll love putting a Brunswick Wild Thing in your hand!

Here’s what Brunswick is telling us about the ball:

Core
The new ultra low RG Paragon core in Brunswick’s new Wild Thing bowling ball was designed with two intentions. First, lower the RG to create a faster revving core that will provide improved mid-lane traction. And second, raise the RG differential to increase the track flare potential which will generate more overall hook with standard layouts and the use of interchangeable thumb sleeves.

Coverstock
The Wild Thing utilizes ConneXion coverstock known for its unbelievable traction response from foul line to head pin. The aggressive connection of the Wild Thing to the lane surface inspires confidence in the ball reaction that allows bowlers to play the lanes the way they want to.

Ball Motion
The Wild Thing and its new ultra low RG core system improves the adhesion of ConneXion coverstock to accelerate the response to friction and turn its attack loose on the pins. This core/coverstock combination allows the Wild Thing to generate a shape never seen before in the Brunswick line.
Brunswick Wild Thing… I Think I Love You!!

New Release: Storm Virtual Energy Bowling Ball!

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Alright ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The follow up to the most popular and successful ball of the last year – the Storm Virtual Gravity! I now introduce to you the Storm Virtual Energy!


Virtual Energy

If you’ve bowled league in the past year you’ve certainly seen LOTS of Virtual Gravitys! Heck, most likely you’ve got one! The Virtual Gravity has been like nothing else ever produced when it comes to bowling balls. The hook, hit and carry are unmatched…. until now! The Storm Virtual Energy!!

The Virtual Energy will be the perfect compliment to the Virtual Gravity. The only time you would run into trouble with the VG is if the heads dried out and it started to hook up too early. Well Storm has put the R2X Hybrid Coverstock on the Virtual Energy to combat this problem! Storm added part pearl to the R2X Solid Reactive coverstock and shined it up to make the Hybrid! This will get the ball through the heads and with the Shape Lock HD core that was also in the VG will make the same strong move you loved in that ball! The added pearl and shine will make the Storm Virtual Energy more angular on the backend which will help you get in deeper and still carry the corners!

I expect this ball to be just as successful as the Storm Virtual Gravity! Actually, knowing Storm Bowling, it may even be better! We’ll let you know the release date as soon as we do!

As always, Bowl up a Storm!
