Brunswick introduces their precious Pearl. Just like a pearl, it has gone though an aggressive fine tuning. They start with a core that is unique to every ball and yet you can still use standard drilling techniques. And we can talk all about the how it maintains a great continuation even up to the back end and obliterates the pins, but what you really want to see are the testimonials. Will this ball do what the product description claims? Will using it help you win your league? Even though one of your team members really is getting on your nerves because of their “whatever” attitude? You have to make up the points somehow. Want to really know if the Pearl or the Solid is for you?
Take a look at this video, yes it is promotional and put together by Brunswick, but the candid shots are compelling. The people they interview know what they are talking about and could be at any of our alleys. Then once you are convinced, visit us at http://www.bowling.com/products/brunswick-nexus—p-f–solid.htm to shop for your Nexus Solid or, http://www.bowling.com/products/brunswick-nexus—p–pearl.htm for that beautiful Pearl. Happy shopping and then happier bowling!
Pearl or Solid, What’s your Pleasure?
A Note on Veterans’ Day
Veterans’ Day is a beautiful day of remembrance. One set aside for us to contemplate our freedoms and the sacrifice it takes to preserve them. We ponder the magnitude of the conflicts and tremendous loss of life. We mourn those who did not get to live a full life and wonder what dreams they would have fulfilled. Our hearts are full for those we knew and loved who put themselves in harm’s way for us.
These feelings of gratitude are so important to preserve. We needed to pause and take note. Hopefully Friday’s events will once again center our thoughts and focus us towards those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Have a wonderful weekend! And a special thanks to our Vets!

Fashionista in the Alley
You are a fashionista in every other aspect of your life and let’s face it, ladies: rental bowling shoes are just plain ugly. You would never put them on your feet regularly, if not forced to do so. Not to mention they are uncomfortable and really smelly. If you are a half size, I feel for you. There is no chance your bowling experience will be comfortable on your feet. So if you bowl more than once or twice a year, put an end to rental shoe misery and invest in your own pair already!
The good news is, there more options than ever before for girls who want to bowl in style and comfort. At long last, bowling shoe makers have ditched the dated unisex model, and have started making shoes specifically adapted to a lady’s smaller, narrower foot. These shoes are padded for extra comfort and come in a variety of styles and colors, from girlish pink to eye-catching metallic gold!
Top brands include Dexter, Brunswick, Etonic and Elite, just to name a few. If this is your first time buying a pair of bowling shoes, you should really visit a shoe store in person to try on a variety of different models so you can see which one fits your foot best. Ask the ladies at your alley what they perfer. Don’t be afraid to say “Cute shoes, where’d you get them?”

As a beginner bowler trying to learn the game, one of the most important first steps is to learn how to grip the bowling ball. It may seem elementary but it is the key to making consistent deliveries and enables you to properly release the ball. Let’s take it step by step.
1. Hold your bowling ball in your non-bowling hand.
2. Insert your two middle fingers of your bowling hand, and your thumb into the holes drilled into the bowling ball.
3. Insert fingers as far as the holes permit. They should be down to the second knuckle joint for a conventionally drilled bowling ball so the weight of the ball can be supported by the pads of your fingers leading to the second knuckle joint.
