    Default Lane Side Review Brunswick Bowling - Melee

    We were lucky enough to be sent the new Melee from Brunswick Bowling. We put it through its paces on KEGEL Main Street oil pattern and have brought the results to you!

    Default my kind of ball...

    reminds me of my beatdown,,, which is my go 2 ball at the present time on house patterns. I think I might gravitate toward this type of ball rather then the unpredictable flip type balls.

    Looks pretty good alright.

    At least Lane Side Reviews has some different type of bowlers rolling the ball.

    I "likes" it. I want to win it. If not…added to with list.

    Like their reviews…still skeptical that they only show strikes. You can learn just as much about a ball by seeing it leave a 10 or 6-10 as you can strike after strike. IMO.

    Not once.

    Importance of spare shooting: ESSENTIAL
    # of ball videos showing people picking up spares: ZERO

    Literally my favorite bowling moment in the last decade. Wish it would have happened to Belmonte or PDW...but still...awesome!

    Seeing them pick up a spare would be kind of pointless. Seeing how they left it in the first place would be more telling.

    Then you would see how the ball reacted to being leaked out or pulled, threw too hard too soft etc.
