I have been using the Brunswick rhino for awhile and hopefully will be getting a new ball around christmas, with my 14 mph roll and slow Rev what ball would you recommend?

whats your current average?

Still a lot of variable missing to give an accurate suggestion. Your best bet is to have your local pro shop watch you bowl and give their recommendation based of your specs and the conditons you will be bowling on.

I agree with this.

But, you also want to determine if you want to stay with the same ball manufacturer or consider others as well. Some PSO's like to push certain brands, and I'm no different.

I am up to a 180 avg,
My league bowl on medium heavy oil standard house patern. I am a right handed bowler, I line up on the right arrow of the middle and aim on the next one right of it. I just can't seem to get a heavy break and feel like a stronger yet controlable hook could help keep spares away.

I really haven't bowled anything else,besides my dad's wreck it, so the only thing I can judge is looks and I know that looks aren't anything. I wish that there was a way to test before you buy because sometimes it's tough making a big purchase not knowing if the ball is going to do what you want.

If you want to see ball reactions from different styles, go look at Lane Side Reviews on YouTube. They have the best ball videos out here. They are heavy with Brunswick, but they also have reviews of many others.

There are a couple of possibilities in the Brunswick family to look at. The Vintage Danger Zone and the Grudge Hybrid.

You may also want to look at the Ultimate Nirvana which is great for medium to heavy oil.

the stronger break you want may also be how it's drilled. Where is the pin on the ball you're throwing now?

The placement of the pin is irrelevant unless you know your PAP. Two bowlers with the same pin placement in relation to the holes in the ball will see totally different reactions unless their PAP's are the same.

What about when bowlers give out their layout such as 45x2x20 (random numbers). Are these all layouts in relation to PAP also. So telling someone else to use a specific layout means nothing since it is a based off each own's unique PAP
