Difference between Brunswick TPU-X and Stealth?

[NewToBowling]

Stealth doesn't come with any extra soles/heels. TPU-X does.

Stealth is cheaper. Any other difference?

Nvermind, just purchased TPU-X (Black/Royal). Figure the extra soles/heels were worth it and the shoe looks just a bit better than Stealth

I love the TPU-X! Can't get a better pair of bowling shoes for $100

I love my TPU-X's!! Comfortable and versatile. Worth every penny.

I ordered a pair of the TPU X today and I'll have them tomorrow.

I also ordered a pair of the Flyers as well.

Trust me, you'll love them. Especially if you bowl in multiple centers. Easily adapt the slide shoe to the approach slickness.

I have no doubt and I'm certainly looking forward to using them

Truth is, while my Dexter Ricky III's are still very comfortable and useable, it was strongly suggested that I start wearing the Brunswick shoes.

It wasn't a surprise to me about the strong suggestion because I knew that sooner or later I would have to get them, and I was figuring around the first of the year. And needless to say, I didn't pay too much for either pair, and since my PSO is also a Brunswick staffer as well, I get them both within 24 hours. lol

One thing to note about the TPU-X's is that they (and most other similar shoes) no longer come with the yellow/tan buckskin slide sole.

The slide sole that comes on the TPU-X is the SP-08 White Micro fiber as the standard slide. (Which most companies are now using as the standard slide.)

So you might want to get a replacement buckskin slide sole for it.

The S-8 Yellow Leather (Buckskin) used to be the standard slide sole that came with shoes, but was replaced by the White Micro Fiber.

Some don't like the WMF as it doesn't slide as much as the old buckskin. (I replaced mine with the buckskin sole)

You can get a replacement buckskin sole from Bowlingball.com (where I got mine) or Ebay you just got to cut it to shape

I currently use Dexter Turbos (basic $40 shoe). Am I to understand that the default slide sole on the TPU X will be the same on the Dexter Turbos? If so that would be great.

I don't know right off hand what soles are on the Turbos

But the TPU-X come with the SP-8 white microfiber slide pad, TP3 rubber push off sole, H-5 graduated rubber heel and H-2 shark tooth heel on the shoes.

Also included in the box are the SP-10 grey felt slide pad, SP-6 perforated white microfiber slide pad, H-7 leather heel , Dura-Flexx shoe cover, TPU X branded accessory bag, and an extra pair of laces.
