I am looking into get into bowling on a regular basis. I am left handed and I am looking for a good entry level ball. Do you all have recommendations? I am currently looking at a storm breeze.

The Brunswick Rhino & Strike King are very good entry level balls.

The Strike King has been discontinued, but there's a decent possibility you can still find one.

I'm a Brunswick Staffer, so I can only recommend the Brunswick family.

Are you planning on bowling leagues or just open bowling Hawkeye?

I would think a Brunswick staffer would know the Rhino IS a Brunswick ball

I think you're reading through the statement. I know very well the Rhino is a Brunswick ball. That and the Strike King are the entry level balls from Brunswick.

All I was saying is, that, the individual while considering the Rhino, I can only recommend equipment in the Brunswick family.

The entry level balls are so close to the same you won't notice a different. Get one you like the color of and/or the company and you'll be fine.

That's OK my friend :)

It happens to all of us once in a while and I certainly don't harbor any ill will :)

Open bowl for now. My school schedule doesn't allow for league.

For a starter ball, I would recommend an Ebonite Cyclone. I think the ball is pretty versatile. The Rhino is a good ball too.

Lefty's usually have a natural hook, if at all possible have a good bowler or even the pro shop guy's watch you before you buy...IMO

If open bowling is your thing light to medium light equipment is a good place to start. Everybody makes good stuff in that price points. Brunswick Rhino / Fanatic, Storm Match / Ride, Ebonite Cyclone, Hammer Viral are all great balls.
