Dynothane Vendetta Particle Blue/Silver Pearl Bowling Ball

Advantages: Hook potential, colour, price
Disadvantages: Discontinued

...The Brunswick BVP Goliath is part of their 'Value Performance' range of bowling balls together with BVP wizard, BVP Ambush, BVP rampage and the BVP punisher. The BVP is now a discontinued bowling ball replaced by the BVP Mammoth. The BVP range of bowling balls are supposed to give high end performance at value prices which they seem to do very well. The BVP Goliath has a high-load particle cover-stock (400 grit sanded) which up until the mammoth was the highest hook potential ball in Brunswick's history with a hook potential rating of 160. The two piece core of the goliath is a inverted bell core which gives a medium RG of 2.590. This gives a ball that hooks through the oil. The ball comes in a deep purple colour which is almost black which I think looks good. It isn't noticeably purple which is what I was after cause I'm not too... Read review

..., and at £170, what a price that is! · Storm Trauma – This is the pearl version of the above, i.e. it has a mirror finish, which makes it slide further down the lane before turning. (This is known as the break point in the world of tenpin bowling). Again you will be looking at over £150 to have this in your bag. Well, that’s ball and shoes covered! Well, why stop here! You know need all the other expensive, unnecessary things that make bowling such a pain in the arse! ~~BOWLING BAG~~ Which one of these you buy, will of course, depend on how many bowling balls you have. (Notice how I said bowling balls, not just balls!). So how many have you got? 4 balls – Wow, your getting in to the sport now aren’t you! To house your large stock of balls, there are about 4 companies who make bags this big. AMF, Brunswick... Read review

Disadvantages: Too fierce for dry lanes

...Technical Specifications Coverstock: Aggressive Solid Reactive Weight Block: Inverted RAD3 Finish: 1000-grit Smooth Logos: Gyration: 2.52 Differential: 0.055 Durometer: 74-76 Track Flare: 6" plus Length: 5 Backend: 9 The X-Factor V-Power is a limited release overseas version of the X-FActor Triple Xtreme, with a Strong, Solid Reactive, coverstock. This is a very good ball for medium to heavy oiled lanes. You can adjust this ball to suit your style. I have left mine sanded to 1000 (factory finish) or you can go for the polished finish which will make the ball go longer on oily lanes. If your lanes are very dry forget this ball as it will start gripping the lane early on and you will miss your target by a fair distance. I have been using this ball at Tolworth for a few sessions now and had a fairly good outcome. The ball seems... Read review
