Columbia 300 Cool Noize Bowling Ball

Columbia 300’s next release for their Noize line of bowling balls is going to be the [bowlingball value=”7135″/].  This Mid Performance Bowling Ball is sanded to a Polished 2000 Grit Abralon finish and has a strong mid-lane reaction. 

The name is a little funny to me.  We have teased our Columbia 300 reps that the ball is really pronounce “Noisy” instead of “Noise”.  They love that one.  The [bowlingball value=”7135″/] is scheduled for release in June.  I look forward to bringing you more information as it becomes available.

Storm Fast and Furious

You’ve heard of the Fast and the Furious, but did you know that it applied to bowling as well?  Ok, not in the general sense, but Storm is coming out with two new bowling balls ([bowlingball value=”7066″/] & [bowlingball value=”7067″/]).

You have to love the way the bowling industry plays with words to try and make them work for bowling balls.  It’s always quite interesting to me to see the New Release Bowling Balls every few months.

Keep an eye out for these two bowling balls coming at the end of May 2009.

New Release: Brunswick Rattler

Looking for a Mid Performance bowling ball for those pesky lane conditions where a High Performance bowling ball is just too much?

You might want to choose the new [bowlingball value=”6967″/].

[bowlingball value=”6967,i150″/]

The [bowlingball value=”6967″/] strikes, and strikes, and strikes again. With a ball reaction like a snake attacking its prey, the Rattler uncoils and drives hard and fast through the backend with a vicious attack. The Rattler provides unmatched reaction at the performance price point. Don’t be caught without one in your bag.

Technology
Activator Coverstock: The [bowlingball value=”6967″/] is the first ball with Activator coverstock available at the performance price point. The original Activator coverstock used on the Rattler is a proven formula that provides strong downlane recovery, longevity of ball reaction, and unprecedented durability with superior resistance to cracking.

Low RG Rocket Core
The Rattler uses Brunswick™s Multi-Sided Rocket Core System, providing a low RG core that when combined with the original Activator produces a ball reaction that is unmatched at the performance price point. Clean through the front with an aggressive move at the breakpoint, the Rattler gives amazing bang for the buck. There isn’t another ball in this class that’s even close.

High Gloss Finish
The Rattler is finished with Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish to maximize the skid-snap reaction out of the box. This surface preparation will allow most bowlers to match-up to both freshly oiled and moderately broken down house conditions.

If you like the original ([bowlingball value=”3874″/]), then you will want the new version.  The original was a major success a few years ago.  I couldn’t walk into my league without seeing one on almost every rack in the bowling center.  I was jealous at the time because I felt like the only bowler without one.
