Tenpin Bowling > Night Hawk Tenpin Bowling

Advantages: Good hook, Great back end, good length
Disadvantages: Not very forgiving

I was never the best Ten Pin bowler at my local centre but managed to gaina respectable average with my older AMForce 4 ball. I have a medium to slow delivery and a fair amount of hook and rotation on the ball. When my AMForce finally bit the bullet It was time to find a new ball. Through no other reason than advertising in the Go TenPin magazine I choose the Nighthawk Torque. I have never looked back since buying this ball but it has changed my ...
...ball does react well, in either polished or dull styles. Imediatley this cause me a few problems because of my delivery speed. I was pushing this ball wider and wider and it was still coming back into the pocket. Most of the time a bit too far. My average started to creep up and up as the leagues went on and I got used to this ball. Even though this ball hooks alot for me, the bit about it that really impresses me is the length it can have before ... Read review

Advantages: Hard to find
Disadvantages: New balls around

I bought my Night Hawk Menace in December 1999. This ball is getting on a bit now but if you can still find it you may be on to a winner. Around the time I got it the price was around £150 in the UK. I know they are a lot cheaper in the USA but I guess we are being stitched price wise in the UK. Last year I bowled in two leagues at Tolworth "Charrington Bowl" using the Menace. I achieve 196 and 192 averages in these leagues over approx 120 games ...
...Depending on how the ball is drilled you can achieve very good scores. I achieved my personal best last year. A 758 over 3 games (best game of 279). Since then this ball has lost a bit of it grip. I have resurfaced a couple of times. I still use this ball but it may be time for a new one. Any suggestions. Below is our league web site. http://sites.netscape.net/bigaleague/ ... Read review

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 ...
...of right now is the Brunswick Danger Zone. I bowl with a 15lb and own a Brunswick Monster ScreamR bowling ball which is a ball for light-medium oil reactive compared with the goliath for medium to heavy. They are both drilled for maximum hook with finger inserts. This ball is a heavy oil ball through and through. It will over hook on dryer lanes and will hook in the oil where a reactive ball wont. The coverstock-core combination produces the biggest ... Read review

Advantages: Adjustable slide sole, well made construction.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of.

...of purchase. These Linds come with an adjustable sliding foot which is either left or right depending on which hand you bowl with. You can change the inserts to allow the bowler to adjust his slide to the approach conditions and to his/her own style. The other foot is non sliding rubber. Available insert disc for the sole are: Buckskin, St. Louis, Fast & St. Ives and for the heal: Rubber, Buckskin & Waffle. So this gives the bowling of a range of ...
...its important that if you want a good slide that you own a pair of shoes that can be customized. They are comfortable to wear too. They have a padded tongue and collar, absorbent lining, replaceable cushioned footbed and soft leather construction. I like these bowling shoes a lot and would recommend them. note: the recommended lane condition specific criteria drop down does not apply to this item but its marked as a field that must be completed (I've ...

...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 to be quite consistent and does give a good hit on the pins. Would recommend this to most people. ... Read review
