There are several bowling ball companies that come out with multiple new bowling balls throughout the year. These are the SPI (Storm Products Incorporated) brands which include Storm, Roto Grip, and 900 Global, and the Brunswick brands which include Brunswick, Columbia 300, DV8, Ebonite, Hammer, Radical, and Track. These companies have been busy at work this month, as usual, releasing new bowling balls. In this blog, I will highlight a couple of these releases.
SPI (Storm Products Incorporated) brands:
For me, the brands of Storm have always been my go to when it comes time for a new bowling ball. My first "hook" ball was a Storm Tropical Surge, and every ball I have owned since has been either Storm or Roto Grip. I am not against any of the other brands, and I am considering trying out a new company for my next ball, but I have found with most bowlers that they just kind of grow a loyalty to the brand they start out with. The cool thing about Storm balls in particular is that they each have their own smell. For example, I got a Storm Revenant not too long ago that smells like bear claws, and my friend recently got a Storm Phase 5 that smells like blueberries. Storm also creates bowling accessories such as rosin bags and ball cleaner spray that smell good, too. Storm's most recent bowling ball release is an addition to the IQ line of bowling balls called the IQ Tour Ruby. The IQ tour series of balls have had a lot of success in the bowling world, and they are even used a lot on the pro tours. The IQ Tour Ruby, releases on March 17,2023, was created for medium oil conditions, and it smells like Berry Splash.

Brunswick Brands:
Several of the Brunswick brands released balls in March or are planning to release them later in April. As I have mentioned, I have not bowled with any of theses ball brands, but I know people who have had great success with them, and some of the best professional bowlers are sponsored by them. I will be highlighting two of these new and upcoming releases in this blog. These will be the Brunswick Mindset and the DV8 Trouble Maker.
The Brunswick Mindset was released on March 23,2020. The ball is one of the brand's strongest, meaning that it will hook a lot and be best on heavy oil conditions.

Hey Kaylee, I guess my first question would be, what does bear claws smell like? Lol. I've bowled like once or twice in my life and I had zero idea that there were different brands of balls and I would have NEVER guessed that they had unique smells to them. Blueberry? WOW! I would literally put it up to my face before throwing it.. every time!! Haha.
ReplyDeleteHey Kaylee, I've bowled a lot with friends but I never knew there was specific brands of bowling balls and they had the possibility to be scented! That is so crazy! I thought bowling balls were all made by the same manufacturer, guess I was wrong lol.
